Creator: Le Figaro Properties

This gem is situated just 20 minutes from the famous medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda and in the immediate vicinity of the valley’s most beautiful sites (the châteaux of Beynac and Castelnaud). More than just a château, this estate offers a level of cohesion rarely found on the international luxury market. The vastness of its 27 hectares offers complete seclusion and absolute privacy. Its rich history, combined with its modern facilities (sports annex, luxury suites, guest house), makes it one of the most exclusive properties in the Périgord Noir. The main château houses sumptuous, light-filled reception rooms, a master’s kitchen, a large, richly decorated period library and magnificent themed suites (Venetian, Versailles, Grasse…) featuring luxurious amenities and commanding views over the valley. Nestled at the heart of a 27-hectare private estate, the château is sheltered by its own mystical woodlands, private walking paths and terraces. At the centre of this lush setting, a magnificent infinity pool (divided into two basins, with a fully equipped pool house) has been built on the exact site of the estate’s former water basins, offering a space for absolute relaxation against the backdrop of the meandering Dordogne River. Sheltered from prying eyes and any disturbance, the property guarantees total privacy and absolute security. A thousand-year history of royalty and nobility.
Originally built on a strategic hillside dotted with ancient springs, the Château stands as a living testament to France’s great history. The estate played a leading role during the Hundred Years’ War. Marked by successive architectural influences, the château retains a unique dual identity: its floors feature French fleur-de-lis tiles, whilst its walls bear the stencils of Saint George, symbols of the passage of English troops.
In the 18th century, the estate entered the circle of the French high nobility. After the turmoil of the Revolution, the estate was enhanced in the 19th century by the addition of sumptuous Renaissance-style turrets, giving the château its current fairy-tale silhouette—a perfect blend of a medieval fortress and the romanticism of a fairy-tale palace. Now fully restored, it houses a historic library where the coats of arms of successive families are hand-painted on the ceiling beams.
This château is not simply a property one treats oneself to; it is a rare privilege, the acquisition of a piece of French history suspended above one of the most beautiful valleys in the world.
Will you be the next guardian of this centuries-old masterpiece?

Listed castle Sarlat-la-caneda (24)

Built in the late 16th century, the château is a fine example of Renaissance architecture in the Périgord Noir. Steeped in history and architectural elegance, this château is a rare and distinguished property located just outside the medieval jewel of Sarlat-la-Canéda, in the Dordogne department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwestern France. This region is renowned for its medieval architecture, rolling countryside, and popularity among international buyers seeking prestigious heritage properties. This Renaissance château is best known as the childhood home of Étienne de La Boétie, the renowned political philosopher and confidant of writer and philosopher Michel de Montaigne. Constructed in the late 1500s, the château features a symmetrical rectangular plan with round towers at the corners, classic of the transitional style in the phase between fortified medieval castles and more domestic Renaissance châteaux. The main residence boasts a stone spiral staircase, large fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, and spacious rooms with high ceilings typical of its period. The ground floor opens with an elegant dining room featuring stone flooring and a central stone fireplace, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. From here, you have direct access to the main living room, kitchen, guest WC, and the striking spiral staircase housed in the château’s southern tower. The adjoining annexe houses on the ground floor the fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, a half bathroom and a bedroom. The living room is generously proportioned, showcasing a second impressive fireplace, exposed timber beams, and double-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light while offering views of the gardens. The first floor features a spacious master bedroom, complete with a beautiful stone fireplace, a private ensuite half-bathroom, a separate WC, and double-aspect windows that offer serene views over the château’s gardens and the valley. Also on this level are two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, which share a charming family bathroom, and two further bedrooms and a WC in the annexe, making it an ideal layout for guests or family living. The property is equipped with gas central heating which is underfloor in the dining room. The property with its 5.1 hectares is complemented by a charming stone barn, featuring central double doors and an original stone floor that exudes rustic character. Inside, the historic wooden cow stalls remain intact, offering a unique glimpse into the property’s agricultural past. This versatile space presents excellent potential to be transformed into a workshop, studio, or stylish additional living accommodation, perfectly blending heritage with modern adaptability. The domaine is completed by a round stone dove cote. While some areas may require modernisation or restoration, these features offer a strong foundation for a luxury residence, boutique hotel, or heritage museum. This chateau offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of France’s most culturally significant Renaissance châteaux. It stands as both a living piece of French intellectual history and a stunning architectural landmark, making it a once-in-a-generation opportunity for discerning buyers. Sarlat-la-Canéda benefits from excellent transport links despite its rural setting. The nearest international airports are Brive (approximately 45 minutes) and Bergerac Airport (just over an hour), both offering regular flights to major European hubs such as Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Brussels. For long-haul connections, Toulouse and Bordeaux International Airports are each around two hours away by car. Rail services from Paris to Souillac or to Sarlat via Bordeaux.
