An isolated 14th and 17th century castle divided into four homes, in the middle of 34 hectares of land in the Dordogne area, to the northwest of Périgueux. This estate, in the heart of a rural and undulating environment, away from large and medium-sized thoroughfares, is spread out over more than 34 hectares of meadows, organic farmland and woods. The buildings, located in the centre of this land, are surrounded by parkland and boast an inner courtyard, gardens, patios and an approximately 1-hectare orchard. The property benefits from uninterrupted 360° views. It is made up of a main edifice with two wings in an L-shape flanked by an imposing 14th-century round tower where they join, a farm with its various farm buildings near to the passing road and, lastly, set slightly away from the rest, a swimming pool with a view overlooking the surrounding nature. The rubble stone and ashlar façades are mostly rendered, with mainly rectangular doors and windows, some of which have mullions and transoms, while the mainly gabled roofs are made up of half-round or flat tiles. The main entrance to the property is formed by a drive, lined with hundred-year-old trees and a long farm building, that leads to an inner courtyard closed by a gate.

A chateau from the late 17th century, with breath-taking views, outbuildings and 38 hectares of wooded hills and pastures in the Périgord Noir region. The site, absolutely magnificent, is one of these numerous Périgord plateaus sandwiched within a complicated network of large and small valleys with abrupt edges and spectacular views, surrounded on all sides by a landscape practically devoid of all human occupation. Comparable to that of a horseshoe, with its curves corresponding to the property’s north and northwest slopes and the central part to the estate’s cultivated plateaus, the site’s topography culminates at an average of about 200 metres in altitude with an elevation gain of approximately 20 metres, guaranteeing awe-inspiring views of the surrounding woods, hills and meadows. Divided up in the 1970s, the property has, nevertheless, preserved 38 of its original 104 hectares. Remarkably conserved thanks to careful replanting, these spaces underscore this site’s singular value, which still succeeds in offering a meaningful testimony to the splendour of these great estates of yesteryear. Founded in 1571, as indicated in the archives, and passed down from the Lord of Roufflilhac to various bourgeois and local notables, the “noble dwelling”, more commonly known as “the chateau”, and its outbuildings were built during the late 17th century over the vestiges of a medieval dwelling destroyed during the French Wars of Religion. Although possessing the essential Périgord architectural characteristics from the late 17th century, it was reorganised in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was acquired by the Pontou family, who would go on to keep the property in their possession for more than 100 years. Today, the property includes the chateau, the 'Old House', a former tenant farm now used as a guesthouse, a caretaker’s cottage and former stables partially converted into accommodations, the whole forming a kind of hamlet. In addition, a completely restored dovecote with a stone slate roof, a tennis court and an immense infinity swimming pool are scattered throughout the grounds, the water for which is supplied by the property’s own natural spring located below the main dwelling along with a washhouse and basin. The result? One of the most beautiful properties in Dordogne – the authenticity of which has been carefully conserved – providing breath-taking views of the surrounding Unesco Word Heritage-protected landscape.
