Elegant 19th century castle in the Dordogne valley

SOLD… The château is located in the Dordogne, more specifically in the Périgord Noir region, renowned for its gastronomy and architectural heritage. The property enjoys a remarkable location nestled within the "golden triangle," just a few kilometers from the famous town of Sarlat, which provides all essential services and amenities. Cultural activities abound: the Sarlat Film Festival, the famous Lascaux Caves, and many other sites steeped in history. Major transport links are nearby, with the A20 motorway (Paris-Toulouse) 19 km away and Brive Airport 35 km away. Facing south, the château dates from the 19th century and is built of rubble stone with a flat tile roof. It comprises a central section flanked by an octagonal ashlar tower, featuring numerous architectural details such as quoins, molded cornices, and dentils, all contributing to the building's charm. The château offers over 600 m² of usable space, including 500 m² of living space spread over several levels, topped by an attic that offers potential for further development. The property will require renovation to meet current standards. The château is laid out as follows: - Ground floor: a large entrance hall with staircase, small and large reception rooms, dining room, kitchen, office, bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC. To the right of the small sitting room is a veranda, and the large living room opens onto a generously sized south-facing terrace with the swimming pool below. On the first floor, accessed by a beautiful oak staircase, are four bedrooms, including a suite in the octagonal tower, three bathrooms, an office, and a large dressing/laundry room. On the second floor are two attic bedrooms, a shower room with WC, and a 100 sq m attic. On the third floor is an attic. The basement, measuring 120 sq m and accessible by the internal staircase as well as the elevator, offers ample storage options: two wine cellars, a wine cellar, four storage rooms, a boiler room, and an elevator room. Importantly, the château has an elevator that serves all four levels, from the basement to the attic. There are two entrances to the property, but one is particularly charming with its driveway of blue cedars. A lovely park of approximately 2 hectares extends in front of the south façade of the Château. Across the small road to the north lies a 2-hectare meadow of good land currently cultivated for hay. A large 12x8 meter swimming pool, with stone coping and heated by a heat pump, adjoins the Château's main terrace. Woods and coppice, not contiguous to the property, covering 8 hectares and 82 ares, are also included in the sale; the entire property comprises approximately 15 hectares.
