Listed castle Sarlat-la-caneda (24)

Built in the late 16th century, the château is a fine example of Renaissance architecture in the Périgord Noir. Steeped in history and architectural elegance, this château is a rare and distinguished property located just outside the medieval jewel of Sarlat-la-Canéda, in the Dordogne department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwestern France. This region is renowned for its medieval architecture, rolling countryside, and popularity among international buyers seeking prestigious heritage properties. This Renaissance château is best known as the childhood home of Étienne de La Boétie, the renowned political philosopher and confidant of writer and philosopher Michel de Montaigne. Constructed in the late 1500s, the château features a symmetrical rectangular plan with round towers at the corners, classic of the transitional style in the phase between fortified medieval castles and more domestic Renaissance châteaux. The main residence boasts a stone spiral staircase, large fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, and spacious rooms with high ceilings typical of its period. The ground floor opens with an elegant dining room featuring stone flooring and a central stone fireplace, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. From here, you have direct access to the main living room, kitchen, guest WC, and the striking spiral staircase housed in the château’s southern tower. The adjoining annexe houses on the ground floor the fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, a half bathroom and a bedroom. The living room is generously proportioned, showcasing a second impressive fireplace, exposed timber beams, and double-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light while offering views of the gardens. The first floor features a spacious master bedroom, complete with a beautiful stone fireplace, a private ensuite half-bathroom, a separate WC, and double-aspect windows that offer serene views over the château’s gardens and the valley. Also on this level are two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, which share a charming family bathroom, and two further bedrooms and a WC in the annexe, making it an ideal layout for guests or family living. The property is equipped with gas central heating which is underfloor in the dining room. The property with its 5.1 hectares is complemented by a charming stone barn, featuring central double doors and an original stone floor that exudes rustic character. Inside, the historic wooden cow stalls remain intact, offering a unique glimpse into the property’s agricultural past. This versatile space presents excellent potential to be transformed into a workshop, studio, or stylish additional living accommodation, perfectly blending heritage with modern adaptability. The domaine is completed by a round stone dove cote. While some areas may require modernisation or restoration, these features offer a strong foundation for a luxury residence, boutique hotel, or heritage museum. This chateau offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of France’s most culturally significant Renaissance châteaux. It stands as both a living piece of French intellectual history and a stunning architectural landmark, making it a once-in-a-generation opportunity for discerning buyers. Sarlat-la-Canéda benefits from excellent transport links despite its rural setting. The nearest international airports are Brive (approximately 45 minutes) and Bergerac Airport (just over an hour), both offering regular flights to major European hubs such as Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Brussels. For long-haul connections, Toulouse and Bordeaux International Airports are each around two hours away by car. Rail services from Paris to Souillac or to Sarlat via Bordeaux.

Castle Lauzerte (82)

Set away from view, on the fringes of Tarn-et-Garonne, a medieval château occupies a rocky promontory at the heart of a wooded valley. The site’s natural configuration, both protective and commanding, gives the estate a rare sense of calm, privacy and permanence. Dating back to the late 13th century, first conceived as a fortified rural stronghold and progressively reshaped between the 15th and 17th centuries, the château now presents a remarkable architectural silhouette, distinguished by corbelled watchtowers, terraced levels following the natural relief, and a tower affirming its original defensive purpose. Offering approximately 600 sqm of living space, the residence is organised around a remarkable spiral staircase with wooden steps, preserved in exceptional condition and forming one of the keep’s most significant architectural features. Generous volumes, substantial walls and a naturally subdued atmosphere express the full strength and character of medieval architecture. Around a closed courtyard are arranged former stables, now converted into a caretaker’s house, outbuildings, an ancient chapel, a dovecote, a woodshed and the remains of a former windmill, together composing an estate of rare architectural coherence. Saved during the French Revolution and fully restored in the 20th century by a Chief Architect of Historic Monuments, the château is listed on the Inventory of Historic Monuments, with partial classification. Set within just over three hectares of preserved grounds, the property combines privacy, proximity to amenities, access to golf within 25 minutes, and convenient connections to Paris and major international hubs. Guide price: €1,340,000 Agency fees payable by the seller. Complete file available upon qualified request following an initial discussion.

Listed castle Montrichard (41)

A 19th-century chateau to renovate for a tourist project, near to the Loire Valley chateaux in more than 2 hectares of parkland. Off a small road, a private lane crosses the moat and leads to a 16th-century postern listed as a historical monument, behind which there is a large lawned courtyard. On one side, the chateau, which was rebuilt in the 19th century, stands on a rocky outcrop. The five-storey edifice stretches from the ground floor to the attic level beneath the rafters, boasting a tuffeau stone facade and a slate gabled roof. On the main facade, two stone dormers with triangular pediments punctuate the roof. At the top of the tuffeau stone elevation, a denticulated frieze underlines the roof. Each level includes four vertically aligned windows, protected by wrought-iron guard-rails and topped by a cornice. The main residence and its two towers are framed by two small and lower wings with flat roofs crowned by stone balustrades. Except for the roofs of the terraces, which require renovation, the structure of the edifice is in a good state. However, it requires full renovation inside. The four storeys are connected by a stone spiral staircase housed in the larger, multi-sided, crenelated tower that flanks the facade. A more slender tower with a pepper-pot roof stands on the other side of the facade. Each level could be transformed into a large self-contained apartment, while the various terraces make it possible to create private outside spaces. The former carriage shed adjacent to the residence could also be transformed into a self-contained cottage. The same is true of the postern at the entrance and the tithe tower, both of which are bordered by the moat. A swimming pool that resembles a garden pond, set slightly away from the buildings, is surrounded by a lawn, while the tall trees ensure privacy.
