Ref. 4718: castle with guest house for sale 40km from Limoges (Haute-Vienne department). 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.

Returning to the half-landing overlooking the entrance hall, one reaches the upper floors via the majestic oak staircase.
