The best of both worlds- a stunning 14th century château, once the property of Madame de Pompadour, now lovingly restored and ready to move into. Situated near Arnac-Pompadour, headquarters of the French National Stud, this beautifully-presented stone château is offered for sale in excellent order. Consisting of 30 exquisitely-decorated rooms on three levels including 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the property nestles within private grounds of 2.8 hectares. Probably of medieval origin, at one time a wolf-hunting lodge, the château is believed to have been given by Louis XV to his favourite mistress, Madame de Pompadour, in 1745. Its documented history traces back from around 1600 to the Sanzillon family, whose emblem can still be seen in several places around the château today. An impressively-proportioned great hall with imposing stone fireplace and pisé floor provides a centrepiece for the ground floor. Upstairs, the elegantly decorated master bedroom is adorned with rare enamel glass panels from the internationally-renowned 19th century artist, Amédée de Caranza. Many historic features can be found throughout the château including ancient brickwork containing text and a carved wooden mantlepiece. The present owners embarked on an extensive restoration project some 25 years ago, utilising master craftsmen and the finest local materials to bring the property into pristine condition. Across the courtyard from the main château building is a spacious two-storey galleried annexe which would be a perfect function facility for weddings or conferences. In addition to the château, there is also a 3 bedroomed cottage in excellent order, as well as a stand-alone traditional bread oven.

Ref.4472 : Beautiful french castle for sale in South West of France. The château nestles on the slopes of a small valley from which a cascade of ponds cascades down through the woods. With no other view than its grounds, it is a haven of tranquillity. Uzerche, the ‘Pearl of the Limousin’ and the Périgord Noir, with its delicacies, are close by. Pompadour is just a few minutes away. With almost 150 events a year, the Cité du Cheval is sure to please lovers of the equestrian arts, while night owls will be delighted to learn that a casino is due to open soon. A pretty tree-lined driveway leads to an esplanade where the château sits enthroned. Or rather the dwelling, as the residence can be divided into three branches, those of a U shape. There is the dwelling, an East wing and a North wing, with a total living area of around 800sqm. The three-storey dwelling comprises two main buildings linked by an entrance porch. Its south-facing facade is flanked on the west by a round tower and a square, projecting tower. The staircase tower to the north is integrated into the facade. Beyond the gateway, under the archway on the right, is a large lounge. Adorned with an imposing fireplace in the style typical of the 16th/ 17th century, it bears the later Lobeilhac coat of arms. This austere room evokes the hunting returns of the Lieutenant de Louveterie, the smell of leather and dogs drying in front of the hearth. At the far end of the room, a passageway leads to the east wing, which we will talk about later. Back under the arch, a few steps lead up to the spiral staircase serving the entire dwelling. On the mezzanine floor: You enter the dwelling via the grand salon. In this splendid room, a monumental fireplace, the pebbled floor and the stained glass windows are reminiscent of the opulent homes of the High Middle Ages. In one corner of the living room, the base of the Round Tower, a small room with a semi-circular bench, serves as a discussion or games room. An archway leads to the fully-equipped kitchen and the adjoining breakfast room. A bathroom completes this level. First floor: The first half-level leads into the ‘Long Room’, a beautiful long room with half-timbering and wood panelling. Two doors conceal a bathroom and toilet. Back on the staircase, you reach the second half-level with its beautiful gallery with terracotta floor tiles and painted ceilings. It leads first to the ‘Squire's Room’. This vast suite comprises a sitting room with fireplace, separated from the bedroom by a stained glass partition by Amédée de Caranza. The laddered parquet flooring, the vast windows, the superbly painted ceilings and the size of the room transport us irresistibly to the Renaissance. A beautiful bathroom, installed in the Round Tower, completes this flat. Back in the gallery, you will find two smaller bedrooms with shared bathrooms. Second floor: Above the Long Room is a large attic bedroom with its own bathroom and toilet. There is access to the terrace that joins the stairway tower and the square tower. The third floor features an imposing billiards room, whose inverted ship's hull gives it a bewitching charm. Small rooms at the top of the towers provide a pleasant contrast with their more intimate feel. The east wing has a slate gable roof. It forms a corner with the Logis. It is accessed via the drawing room with its coat of arms or via a double door through the courtyard. It comprises Ground floor: entrance hall and remarkable quarter-turn baluster staircase, vast 17th century dining room, bedroom with alcove, shower room and toilet. From the dining room, a staircase leads down to the large cellar, ideal for a wine cellar. You can see the granite vein on which the house is solidly anchored. Upstairs: A long passageway leads to two beautiful bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room and wc. The north wing is a group of buildings that were probably used as stables and shops, but now form a single unit. It includes : On the ground floor: a very large tiled games room suitable for all types of use, whether for families or events. Behind a glass wall, a room used as a bedroom that has retained its original fireplace. There is also a small kitchen and a toilet on this level. On the mezzanine level, there is a beautiful corridor with ladder-style parquet flooring, organised around the skylight that illuminates the games room. This space leads to an attic bedroom with its own bathroom and toilet. The main outbuilding is a dwelling known as The Petite grange, because of its previous use. This dwelling has a living area of around 80 sqm. It is equipped with a 2022 Interdomo Domomat oil-fired boiler and a wood-burning stove. Restoration of the Petite grange was completed in 2006. There are: On the ground floor: a large, comfortable tiled living room with beamed ceilings. A lovely kitchen area and storeroom. Upstairs: three attic bedrooms with shower room and toilet. The second outbuilding is the swimming pool area with a 10 x 5 m pool, heated and treated by electrolysis (salt) as well as a large pool house with shower and wc. The enclosure is secured by walls lined with hedges around part of the perimeter. Other small roofs complete the outbuildings: a bread oven, located between the swimming pool and the dwelling, and a garden shed, built on the edge of the pond. Finally, there is a laundry and boiler room in the basement of the dwelling, accessible from the inner courtyard. The grounds, covering an area of around 7 acres (2.85 hectares), are shaped like an uneven diamond. The château is at its centre. This area opens onto a tree-lined driveway leading to the esplanade at the entrance to the château. This esplanade, adorned with flowerbeds and a magnificent wisteria climbing over the dwelling, is an impressive sight. Beyond the avenues laid out around the château, the English-style park features a succession of meadows, small woods and high hedges. Behind the North Wing, a charming pond marks the start of the ‘cascade’ that disappears into the surrounding woods.

A 13th-century chateau, its outbuildings and feudal vestiges between Brive-la-Gaillarde and the foothills of the White Périgord region. From the hamlet’s small square, a 150-metre no-through road, framed on either side by large outbuildings that partially mask the property, provides access to the chateau’s court of honour via a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pillars. The property’s enclosure walls, the round tower with its Renaissance dormer window and the crystallised ruins of an ancient lookout tower, are the remaining vestiges of the early chateau dating from 1226, which was expanded in the 15th century with the construction of the three-storey main building and its square tower, and then restored in 1650, this last phase being accompanied by the construction of the mansard roof outbuildings as well. Facing east to west, the barlong-shaped main building has a hipped roof flanked on opposite corners by two towers, one round and topped with a pepperpot roof and the other square with a pavilion roof. The three-storey façades of this classical-style dwelling, in lime-pointed rubble stone, are cadenced by many tall casement cross-windows with ashlar stone surrounds. The façade also has two sets of double glass doors with semi-circular spoked fanlights as well as two bull’s-eye windows, and is topped with a rounded dormer window on one side, which dynamically highlights a central row of windows. Two monumental chimneys rise up from this side of the roof as well, while the towers’ façades are punctuated by small windows, oculi and glass doors. All the windows and doors are safeguarded by single or double-leaf wooden shutters, with the exception of the mullion dormer window topped with a triangular pediment and a pinnacle that crowns the vertical row of windows on the chateau’s northern gable end. With two hectares of land, the property’s buildings were all constructed out of blond limestone and topped with Allassac slate roofs. Adjacent to the round tower and extending on from the main dwelling, a two-storey outbuilding, used mainly as housing, faces a triangular domestic outbuilding, which encloses the grand courtyard on one side. The latter is extended to the south by a large rectangular, landscaped patio, which provides the chateau’s western façade with a panoramic view, while from the chateau’s eastern façade, the grounds bordered by a gravel area reveal swathes of woodlands that extend towards the south. Lastly, an immense right-angle outbuilding used for agricultural purposes is located on the other side of the drive.
