A Château, Its Lands and History in the Heart of Périgord Pourpre

In the countryside of Périgord Pourpre, this characterful residence sits at the heart of an estate spanning nearly 39 hectares in a single, unified holding, where a stone-walled park, meadows, woodland and vineyards form an ensemble of beautiful coherence within a gently rolling landscape.

This territorial continuity is one of the property's greatest assets. Meadows, woods and vineyards compose a rural landscape that offers the residence a setting both intimate and open, with beautiful views across the Périgord Pourpre countryside.

The château currently offers approximately 369 m² of liveable space. The reception rooms are generously proportioned, and several suites are already fitted out. The house retains genuine character, with its original elements, fireplaces and spaces that still invite personal evolution of the place. A further 140 m² or so, currently requiring renovation, complement the liveable spaces and offer interesting scope to reimagine the residence over time.

The relationship between the house and the buildings that surround it gives the estate all its coherence. Extending from the château, approximately 373 m² of outbuildings accommodate notably the former wine storage building and various storage spaces. Other buildings, representing some 86 m², comprise workshops, wood store and annexes. A short distance away, the vast agricultural shed of 435 m² recalls the rural history of the property and offers particularly substantial volumes.

An independent caretaker's cottage of 77 m² of liveable space completes the ensemble. With its two bedrooms, living area and bathroom with WC, it constitutes a genuine separate dwelling, which can naturally accommodate a caretaker, family members or support a project requiring independent occupancy.

The walled park forms an elegant transition between the residence and the lands. The stone walls structure the exteriors and preserve the château's privacy, while the meadows and woods then extend uninterrupted around the property.

Approximately 1.96 hectares is devoted to vineyard, with plantings of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon registered under the Bergerac, Côtes de Bergerac, Montravel, Côtes de Montravel and Haut-Montravel appellations. This viticultural presence sits naturally within the identity of this territory, without in itself defining the estate's vocation.

The property thus offers several possibilities. It can above all become a grand family home, a secondary residence where to entertain and gather, but it can also support a hospitality project or progressive valorisation of its many buildings. The existing volumes and the surfaces still to be renovated allow different developments to be envisaged without compromising the spirit of the place.

Daily life remains straightforward to organise: shops, train station and services are found approximately 8 kilometres away, Bergerac and its airport 40 minutes away, the motorway about 20 minutes away and the TGV station 45 minutes away.

But above all, on this property, there is that quality that has become difficult to find: to step outside and truly feel at home, surrounded by your own lands, your trees and your ancient walls.

I invite you to come explore the estate and discover for yourself the atmosphere of this residence.
