A 16th-century chateau, with outbuildings and a spring on an 18-hectare wooded hillside overlooking the Isle Valley on the outskirts of Périgueux. This castle is in an area where wooded hills alternate with green valleys. Perched on a flat hilltop, it dominates a plain which stretches out in front of it, sloping down to the peaceful river Isle. 18 hectares of beautiful, predominantly wooded, natural surroundings border the property and extend over the heights providing an ideal setting for walks. Numerous trails will delight horse-riders, especially as their mounts can then rest in suitable stables, standing at the end of a bridle path.
This castle was built in the 16th century on old wine storehouses and then raised a level in the 19th century so that staff could be accommodated on site. Now perfectly restored with great attention paid to its authenticity, flanked by its two impressive round towers, it exudes a proud bearing. By its sides, a house and a barn in need of restoration provide a surface area of approx. 300 m² to be developed. The buildings are bordered by a wide terrace, protected by stone baluster railings, which dominates a second terrace, taken up by a vegetable garden, and a secondary road leading to Périgueux, passing by on a lower level.
