Historic Castle With Swimming Pool Between Bordeaux And Bergerac.

Located near the bastide town of Monségur, the village of Duras, and approximately one hour from Bordeaux and its airport, this rare property stands on the foundations of a former medieval castle, of which it still retains many original features.

Surrounded by moats and accessed via an old bridge, the building clearly reflects its defensive past. The entire lower structure dates back to the medieval period, reinforcing the authenticity and historical character of the property. Beyond the gate, a tree-filled garden with mature trees provides shade and a peaceful atmosphere. A stone well is also present, recalling the site’s historical use.

Inside, the house combines period features with noble materials. The spacious kitchen is fitted with solid wood and enhanced by a period fireplace. The reception room stands out with its impressive ceiling height, exposed timber framework, and stone fireplace. It is further enhanced by a finely crafted wooden staircase of generous proportions, adding to the character of the space. Terracotta floor tiles reinforce the authenticity of the interior. A more intimate lounge completes this area and includes an old bread oven, another reminder of the property’s past.

The sleeping area is divided into two separate sections, one on the ground floor and the other upstairs, offering a total of five bedrooms. One features oak paneling and a stone fireplace, while others retain stone walls and exposed beams. A bathroom and two shower rooms complete the layout. A storage room and an attic offer additional potential for development.

Outside, the swimming pool is surrounded by several terraces, two of which are covered, one resting on stone pillars.

Overall, this is a rare property with strong historical significance, offering the unique opportunity to own a place of such antiquity—a true witness to the past and to heritage.
