Castles for sale Excideuil, France (page 2)

A 15th-century castle in need of restoration, its hamlet of outbuildings and its panoramic grounds of 6 ha, 30 minutes from Brive in the Corrèze region. From the town centre, a country lane leads to the main entrance of the property. A driveway winds gradually through the English-style landscaped grounds, first bordered by hedges on either side, and then along a line of tall deciduous trees. The track ends beneath a large lime tree facing the castle, in whose shade it is easy to park or to discover the stunning vista. The medieval edifice stands proudly at the centre of a largely lawned plateau, below which a vast meadow stretches out to the great valley to the east. The panoramic view takes in the entire landscape from north to south - a single arc of greenery. Behind the chateau, hidden by the vegetation that marks the boundaries of the soberly landscaped grounds, are the large stone outbuildings. Built in the 19th century, they were designed to modernise the servants’ quarters and other outhouses of the estate without detracting from the authenticity of the medieval buildings. Two of these outbuildings face each other and are separated by a driveway that leads to a long farmhouse with sturdy stone walls. This drive, which serves a courtyard before marking the exit from the property, connects to a street running through the village. At the western end of the property stands an old winery, dating from the same period as the castle, a reminder of the region's wine-growing past.

A medieval castle with its keep, ramparts and 2 hectares of terraced grounds, overlooking a village and the Tardoire valley, 35 minutes south-west of Limoges. A bird's eye view of the ancient ramparts, in the shape of a polygon, reveals the double enclosure and the monumental dimensions of the impressive castle built on the site of earlier strongholds towards the middle of the 11th century. A number of medieval features have survived to the present day, in particular the corner tower of the main building and the keep in the centre of the courtyard, which rises to a height of 25 m and can be sighted from a distance of several kilometres. In the 17th century, a manor house was added as an extension to the medieval dwelling, probably on its former foundations, providing the estate with a pleasant residence at a human scale. Outbuildings and the remains of a castle chapel, set in terraced grounds and enclosed by circular ramparts, complete the impressive complex of buildings standing over the surrounding area. The entire keep and the corner tower are classified as national historical monuments. The facades and roofs of the medieval dwelling adjoining the tower, as well as those of the 17th-century building, are also listed. The sober facades of the various buildings are mostly of rough-hewn stone, those of the 17th-century dwelling of rendered stone, with straight or arched openings, evenly spaced or not, featuring small-paned glass doors, windows and transoms. Shutters protect all the openings, those of the most recent building are painted white. The roofs, with two or four pitches, are of flat or monk-and-nun tiles.

Mirroring itself in its pond, this magnificent 12th and 15th century fortified castle, completely restored, is the perfect witness of the evolution of medieval architecture and housing in Limousin. In its domain of 420 acres consisting of forest, 4 ponds, meadows and several farms, this feudal castle combines an exceptional authenticity and a luxurious service with its superb receptions, its 16 bedrooms, its spiral staircases, lift, billiard, library, meeting room, music room and movie theater. This historic chateau represents remarkably and faithfully the military architecture of the region. The 45m quadrangular dungeon, the defensive towers, the drawbridge, the battlements, the machicolation and the inner courtyard are excellent witnesses. Full documentation on request.
