The property is situated close to Châlus, a small Limousin town renowned as the place where Richard the Lionheart met his end. It lies in the département of Haute-Vienne, 40 km south-west of Limoges, its Limoges-Bénédictins railway station (Paris–Toulouse line), and an international airport, Limoges-Bellegarde, which offers regular flights to Lyon, Marseille, London, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and the Midlands. The area, which forms part of the Périgord–Limousin Regional Natural Park, is known as the Pays des Feuillardiers, after the craftsmen who traditionally produced chestnut-wood hoops (feuillards) used for barrel-making. It is a lively region whose economic activity is centred on forestry, agriculture and tourism. Its gently undulating landscapes, cloaked in deep forests and interlaced with numerous streams, are especially appreciated by walkers, sports enthusiasts, river anglers and lovers of history. Both local residents and those who have settled here from elsewhere — including a vibrant British community — enjoy an excellent quality of life.
The château presents itself as the harmonious composition of three buildings from different periods.
On the ground floor, approached through the small North door, one finds to the right the hall, an antechamber, the kitchen, and a passageway leading to the utility–boiler room and WC, the television room, and the music room. This is where the arched doorway giving access to the terrace and park is located. From the music room, a few steps lead to the reception rooms — the drawing rooms and dining room — two remarkable spaces distinguished by their magnificent decorative features. In addition, both the drawing room and the music room are equipped with wood-burning stoves.
Returning to the half-landing overlooking the entrance hall, one reaches the upper floors via the majestic oak staircase.
On the first floor, arranged over two half-levels, there is a study–library and five bedrooms, three of which have their own bathroom and WC, while the remaining two share a bathroom.
On the second floor, reached via a winding staircase, there are two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and WCs, together with an attic.
Ouitbuildings :
Separated from the château by a lime-tree avenue and a long natural hedge, an extensive Limousin-style barn contains a self-contained two-storey dwelling, suitable for use as a guest cottage or caretaker’s house. It comprises a sitting room, a kitchen–dining room, four bedrooms, and two shower rooms with WCs.
In addition to the cottage, this impressive 60-metre barn offers, on the lower level: a wood store, a garage, a stable with four loose boxes, and various workshops. The upper level consists of large open spaces, inviting the future owners to give free rein to their imagination.
A small separate pavilion, situated at the western corner of the barn, was originally a laundry. It has been fully restored and converted into a charming artist’s studio.
Lastly, adjoining the sixteenth-century wing, a vast pergola set on a large south-facing tiled terrace provides an additional living area complementing the château.
Access to the property is through an imposing gateway set into the wall that encloses part of its perimeter. The château, positioned on a small promontory, overlooks a vast English-style park that slopes gently down towards a stream meandering through the estate’s woodland. A delightful “English river” (a man-made water feature) fed by a natural spring, together with a generously sized swimming pool, further enhances the grounds. Set slightly apart, a tree-lined meadow would be well suited to accommodating horses. The estate extends to almost eight and a half hectares in total.
