castles for sale France (page 18)

Set in the green countryside of Dordogne, just 30mns from Perigueux and 1 hour from Bordeaux, is the glorious property set in 6,5 hectares. Here you have a country home built in 1889, referred to as a chateau, but was inspired by the Tudor Manor Houses from England. This was built the same year as the Eiffel Tower, in what the French call the ?Belle Epoque', the period when a spirit of creativity and joie de vivre swept through Paris and across Europe between 1871 and 1914. The property was built by a rich textile merchant as a wedding gift for his fiancée, and all the walls are adorned with the original textiles he hade made just for the property. You enter the property by the central hall which was designed to take full advantage of the large stain glassed window that dominates the stairs, depicting the owner in the guise of Saint Front, the dragon slayer. On this same level you have a large lounge with ornate fireplace, a dining room with an even more ornate fireplace and a study, that is presently used as a billiard room. Leading up the master staircase, past the stain glass window, we get to the main guest floor. This comprises of a large landing deserving 4 spacious en suite bedrooms, each one having its own style and charm. You will also find a cloak room on this level. Accessed by the servants stairs you have the top level, which includes a further 5 bedrooms, and once again, all with en suite shower rooms. The lower floor is also accessed via the domestics staircase as well as having its own outside access. On this level, we really get the feeling of yesteryear, as it is were the service and storage rooms are; the main one being the spacious kitchen, a subtle mix of the original features and a more industriel feel. A nice feature is the original fireplace and it adjoining period cooker, dating back to the initial kitchen. The property sits on 6,5 hectares , that is to say over 16 hectares, principally park land, but with wooded areas, this is Perigord after all. Set off to one side is the property's swimming pool. Although there are no outbuildings with the property, there is the possibility of acquiring the adjoining farmhouse, out buildings and sand school. Great if you wish to develop the equestrian side, or possibly more accommodation for rental or even a guardian. If you are looking for a real piece or history in the Dordogne, but don't want a sprawling medieval chateau, well this is a serious contender.

Fully restored over the past decade to the most exacting standards, the chateau comes into view at the end of a long drive lined with trees several centuries old. Built in the 17th century at the heart of wooded grounds, it and its outbuildings create a composition of rare architectural and landscape quality.

The steeply pitched slate roofs are punctuated by curved-pediment dormer windows and tall chimney stacks, giving the property a noble and well-balanced silhouette, without ostentation, in keeping with the restrained character of the historic seigneurial residences of Upper Brittany. The 560 sqm of living accommodation offers a particularly well-organised layout, centred around generous reception rooms, spacious bedrooms on the upper floor and crowned by a vast attic beneath a magnificent timber roof structure. The ground floor: The entrance hall, paved with original terracotta tiles beneath exposed beams, creates long views towards the reception rooms and the park, while the fine wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. The grand salon, the principal reception room of the house, retains its painted wood panelling from floor to ceiling, a marble fireplace with an overmantel mirror and its original parquet flooring. Tall windows overlook the park and inner courtyard. The dining room, also facing due south towards the park, is similarly panelled and features two exposed main beams and its own wooden fireplace. It leads through to the service room and then to the kitchen. With exposed stone walls and dark timber beams, the kitchen retains all its rustic character while offering the possibility of opening onto a large family living space. A spacious courtyard-facing room with a fireplace offers generous proportions and could readily be converted into a ground-floor bedroom. A laundry room, bathroom and pantry complete this level, allowing for comfortable single-level living. The first floor: The eight bedrooms, accessed from a wide corridor, are generously proportioned and filled with natural light, with views over the park. Several retain their original fireplaces with imposing carved wooden mantels, as well as their historic floorboards, providing a tangible reminder of the château's history. Two bathrooms complete this floor, which is equally well suited to a family residence or a hospitality project. Above, accessed from the first floor by a staircase, lies a vast attic offering considerable potential for conversion. OUTBUILDINGS : The stone and rendered outbuildings are arranged around a gravelled service courtyard. A woodshed, stable, pantry, turret and workshop provide flexible ancillary spaces that can be adapted to suit a variety of projects. Some retain their original, unadorned character and offer further restoration potential. Within the park stands a circular dovecote, a reminder of the estate's former seigneurial status, together with an enclosed barn. Nearby are the masonry remains of a former chapel. GROUNDS : Enclosed by old stone walls, the park extends to approximately 1.35 hectares and offers a variety of atmospheres, combining broad lawns dotted with a diversity of mature and unusual trees with a mature orchard, vegetable garden with greenhouse, and chicken coop. A swimming pool, requiring restoration, is located nearby, enclosed and discreetly screened from view within a more private part of the grounds.

Close to Belgium and the major metropolitan areas of northern France, the estate benefits from a particularly interesting location for a principal or secondary residence, but also for a heritage, equestrian, or high-end hospitality project. The castle spans approximately 2,000 m² of living space, with around 2,500 m² of usable area, to which several outbuildings and dependencies are added. The property also has a functional helicopter landing pad, a particularly rare feature for a private residence of this importance, offering direct and privileged accessibility to the estate. A CASTLE BURSTING WITH HISTORY The site of Dourlers has an ancient history. A first castle is documented as early as the Middle Ages. The current building has its origins in constructions undertaken in the early 18th century, before undergoing various transformations and restorations over the centuries. The domain was notably adorned with an English-style park in the 19th century, contributing to the exceptional landscape identity of the place. Today, Château de Dourlers retains the special atmosphere of great historic residences while providing spaces designed for contemporary and comfortable living. EXCEPTIONAL RECEPTION VOLUMES Upon entering, the castle reveals particularly generous proportions. The ground floor is organized around a majestic entrance hall serving the various reception areas, including a snooker room, bar and tasting room, office, dining room of 56 m² that can accommodate 24 guests, a lounge with library of 37 m², a warm living room of 42 m², a music room of 22 m², a reading room set in a former deconsecrated chapel, several restrooms, including two confessionals transformed and reimagined, and a bright veranda with views of the garden. These spaces offer a framework particularly suited for large private receptions, family gatherings, or intimate events in a historically rich environment. FOUR SUITES AND A CHILDREN'S SUITE The first floor is dedicated to private spaces, housing four suites, each benefiting from its own layout with a bedroom, private lounge, bathroom, and office space. A suite for children, with shower, office, and private dressing room, completes this level. The configuration thus allows for accommodating family and guests in particularly comfortable conditions while preserving everyone's privacy. An ornamental wrought-iron staircase, as well as a service staircase and an elevator provide access to the various spaces. A PRIVATE LOFT DEDICATED TO WELL-BEING The second floor offers a completely different universe, accessible by elevator or staircase, featuring a vast loft of approximately 130 m² that provides an open, particularly bright, and modular space.

In the south of Sologne, set within a verdant landscape, this superb château lies at the heart of a historic estate whose origins date back to the 13th century. Extending over 40 hectares, the property features a swimming pool, tennis court and numerous outbuildings, including a chapel, stables, reception house, caretaker’s house, orangery, farm with poultry yard, kennel, vegetable garden, dovecote, orchard, woodland, meadows and river. THE CHÂTEAU Behind its historic façade, adorned with refined details and 19th-century towers, the château has been fully renovated. It offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere across approximately 936 m², where original proportions and architectural features blend seamlessly with a lifestyle perfectly suited to hosting family and friends. The period features — wood panelling, parquet floors, mouldings and marble fireplaces — have been carefully preserved and are of outstanding quality. Ground Floor The original oak doors open into a beautiful entrance hall dominated by the main staircase, located within one of the towers. The former hunting room is now an elegant reception area, ideally positioned between the dining room and kitchen. Filled with natural light, the dining room, decorated in the First Empire style, enjoys direct access to the terrace as well as convenient communication with the kitchen. With its wood panelling, glazed bookcases and fireplace, the library is one of the château’s most charming rooms. An intimate and welcoming space, particularly appreciated by guests. The 40 m² drawing room opens naturally onto the garden and swimming pool, with access to a guest cloakroom. First Floor The monumental staircase leads to three beautiful reception areas: the former billiard room, now devoted to leisure activities; a spacious TV room; and the grand salon, enhanced by its grand piano. This floor also comprises five large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and boudoir. Two of them enjoy direct access to the swimming pool. One of the bathrooms could still be redesigned to better harmonise its fittings with the classic character of the adjoining bedroom. Close to the 62 m² grand salon, a second guest cloakroom and a private corridor serve the two principal bedrooms. A staircase also leads to the second floor and onwards to the upper terrace. Fireplaces are found throughout the château, some of which are still regularly used in the reception rooms. Second Floor Formerly reserved for children’s bedrooms and staff accommodation, this level now offers four light-filled bedrooms, all enjoying exceptional views over the park. Three bedrooms have already been redecorated, two of them with their own shower rooms. The fourth has a bathroom with a bathtub installed within the tower. This bedroom also benefits from direct access to the terrace. A bright corridor serves the bedrooms and leads to the former service staircase, now used as a secondary access and as access to the swimming pool. This level also includes a former bathroom converted into a laundry room, as well as a room dedicated to linen and storage. The service staircase still requires some restoration work, but there is potential to create an additional WC in this area. Attic Spaces and Potential for Further Development Above the principal bedroom annexe, two additional bedrooms provide a more independent area. Currently unheated, they share a shower room. They could function as two bedrooms or as a bedroom with a small private sitting room. They enjoy privileged access to the terrace as well as to the private staircase leading down towards the kitchen. The glazed gallery leading to the terrace remains to be restored. With appropriate insulation and beautiful wood panelling, it could once again become a particularly elegant and light-filled passageway. Above the main body of the château, the extensive attic spaces offer tremendous potential for further development. Their generous volume could accommodate additional living areas, a games room, an office or several more bedrooms. Cellars and Technical Areas Beneath the château annexe are two large cellars, together with a beautiful wine cellar. The first houses the boiler room and wood storage. The second contains the estate’s new heating system: a water-to-water heat pump installed in 2023. A water softener was also installed in 2023, completing the property’s technical facilities. These areas are entirely dedicated to the technical infrastructure of the property, while remaining easily accessible and completely separate from the living spaces. A Home Designed for Living With its reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, independent spaces, wine cellar, terraces and uninterrupted connection with the park and swimming pool, the château possesses that rare quality found in great family estates: the ability to accommodate many people without ever compromising privacy. A place where one can entertain, share, live as a family and, in turn, write the next chapter in the history of the estate. THE OUTBUILDINGS From the moment one passes through the grand entrance gate, the estate reveals a genuine stone hamlet arranged around its historic courtyard. Former stables, a carriage house, caretaker’s houses, chapel, kennel, orangery, wash house and agricultural buildings form a remarkable ensemble, rich in heritage and full of potential. The Gate Lodge At the entrance, near the smaller gate, this former house — probably once a bakery and later accommodation for the dog keeper — is currently used for storage. It could easily be converted into a caretaker’s house, an office or even a small shop. The Kennel At the centre of the courtyard, the remarkable stone kennel retains its rounded enclosure and wrought-iron gate. Above the door, a tufa-stone bas-relief depicts two hunting dogs, a reminder of the estate’s historic sporting and hunting vocation. The recently cleared paved courtyard is now surrounded by roses, lavender and perennial plants. The Caretaker’s House On the other side of the kennel, this independent house comprises a kitchen, living room with an original wood-burning stove, bathroom and, upstairs, two bedrooms, a shower room and a large additional space. An exterior covered area provides parking for several vehicles or storage for firewood. The Coach House The former carriage house contains three garages on the ground floor, one of which could be converted into a reception room, yoga studio or event space. Upstairs, four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms surround a large living area with an open-plan kitchen and fireplace. The building enjoys views over the park and dovecote, as well as a private garden with a barbecue area and pétanque court. The Seigniorial Chapel Probably built in the 15th century, or possibly earlier, the chapel retains numerous reminders of its long history. An inscription dated 1546 above the door bears witness to the exceptional age of the site. The Stables and Agricultural Buildings The stables have retained their four original stalls and four loose boxes. The initials of the de Lestang family can still be seen on the tiles above the feeding troughs. Beyond them are a hay barn, former dairy, laundry room with bread oven, potato store and former cowshed. Part of the roofing has already been restored; the roof of the former cowshed still requires work. The entire complex offers remarkable equestrian potential, with the possibility of additional boxes, an arena within the courtyard and paddocks in the surrounding meadows. The Orangery Located beside the vegetable garden, the former orangery has been converted into a charming independent residence comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living area. Its large windows overlook the river and the octagonal dovecote. Upstairs, a generous space remains to be converted and could accommodate additional living areas and a terrace. The Wash House Beside the river, the former wash house retains its two fireplaces and traditional architecture. With its central water channel, it could become a unique little retreat in the heart of the estate. The Garden House Finally, in the middle of the vegetable garden, the small 19th-century garden house adds a final touch of charm to this remarkable ensemble. More than simply a collection of outbuildings, this is a genuine historic hamlet, offering its future owner a multitude of possibilities: accommodating guests, working, entertaining, developing an equestrian activity or simply bringing each building back to life at its own pace.
