Castle Eymet (24)
For sale, a remarkable property, meticulously renovated to an exceptionally high standard. This exquisite estate comprises a seven-bedroom Chateau, three two-bedroom gites, and a one-bedroom pigeonier, all nestled in five hectares of land, providing a haven of tranquillity and privacy with fabulous panoramic views. Currently serving as both a holiday home for the owners and a luxurious holiday rental destination, the property is expertly designed to seamlessly continue this dual purpose. With ample space for guests and family, it could also serve as a haven for retreats, large gatherings, events, or weddings. Four private terraces, three swimming pools, a small lake, and numerous secluded corners contribute to the property's splendid serenity. The Chateau itself was originally constructed as the summer residence for the Bishop of Agen in the 1700s; exuding grandeur with wooden floorboards and stone floors throughout. The ground floor boasts an impressive entrance hall with a games room on one side and an opulent sitting room on the other. A flagstone floor hallway with a magnificent stone staircase leads upstairs. At the rear, an expansive open-plan living area encompasses dining and seating areas with a kitchen under a handsome stone arch, overlooking and leading to the main pool area. Additional features on this floor include a sizable study and library with an open fireplace, a generous utility and laundry room, and a spacious cellar. Two staircases provide access to the seven large double bedrooms, five of which have their own en-suite bathrooms. High ceilings and tall windows flood the spaces with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor area includes a substantial partially terraced courtyard surrounding the main swimming pool (12m by 6m). An old tobacco drying barn on the far side serves as an outside games area with a table tennis table or a shaded spot to relax by the pool. On the other side of the courtyard, three of the gites and a gym, equipped with its own shower room, are situated. The gites share two pools and private terraces, with two of them having a connecting door, making a larger accommodation area if required. The fourth gite, a one-bedroom pigeonier, is set apart from the other buildings, featuring its own private terrace with captivating views. The property is strategically located near charming bastide towns with restaurants, bars, and local markets. Bergerac and its International airport are just over 30 minutes' drive away, and the larger city of Bordeaux is less than 2 hours away. This is a truly exceptional and luxurious property, steeped in history, charm, and elegance.
