Castles for sale Pressignac-Vicq, France (page 2)

For sale, an exceptional opportunity to own a genuine piece of French history! This property, with a narrative reaching back to Roman times, is a captivating journey at every turn. Nestled at the property's base is a natural spring, believed to be adorned with Roman steps. Dating back to 1770, the estate is constructed on the remnants of a thirteenth-century fortification, preserving original features. Notably, it was designed by the same architect responsible for Bordeaux's stunning Opera House, Victor Louis. Declared a monument historique, the property currently operates as a boutique luxury chambre d’hôtes, whilst also serving as a cherished family home for the current owners. Featuring spacious reception rooms, high ceilings, and a meticulously renovated basement with a wine cellar, the chateau has also been a splendid venue for weddings, concerts, and exhibitions. The ground floor boasts a charming entrance hall with a central flagstone floor, leading to the Grand Salon with a balcony and two additional reception rooms. Accommodation is situated in separate wings on either side. The generously sized kitchen, fully equipped and overlooking the courtyard, serves as an inviting space for family breakfasts or large gatherings. Ascending the magnificent staircase outside the kitchen, which predates the property by approximately 100 years, one can appreciate the architect's choice to preserve this historic element. The staircase leads to three spacious en-suite double bedrooms, with the potential for converting a 50m² attic into additional bedrooms, if desired. On the opposite side, the first-floor hosts two recently renovated en-suite double bedrooms in the stable wing. The landing features a library, offering a serene spot for quiet reading and reflection, along with two more expansive en-suite double bedrooms. The rooms at the rear of the property offer breathtaking, far-reaching views of the countryside surrounding the bastide, particularly enchanting in the early morning mist. Situated in the bastide itself, the property enjoys proximity to local facilities and amenities. The lively town of Bergerac in the Dordogne, with its international airport, is a mere 20-minute drive, while the larger city of Bordeaux is less than a 2-hour journey.
