In the heart of Lomagne, where the hills gently roll beneath the soft light of the South-West, a discreet path winds its way through the fields. At first glance, nothing suggests what awaits at the end of this quiet country road. Then, almost like an apparition, golden stone walls announce the entrance to a truly unique estate. A place steeped in centuries of history, whose earliest foundations date back to the Middle Ages, patiently reshaped over time to acquire its present elegance in the 18th century. Crossing the farm courtyard, one discovers a setting punctuated by agricultural buildings, old barns, and a dovecote still standing watch. Nearby, a renovated caretaker’s house of approximately 100 sqm offers modern comfort, while a vast 145 sqm gym/multi-purpose space reflects a contemporary reinterpretation of the property. Yet it is as one moves further in that the magic truly unfolds. A chestnut tree-lined avenue gently guides the way, acting as a seamless transition between the outside world and a more intimate realm. A porch shelters the entrance to the noble courtyard, carefully guarding the estate’s secrets. Beside it, a tower crowned with a 19th-century wind turbine recalls a time when the property was entirely self-sufficient. Here, the atmosphere shifts entirely. The buildings are arranged in a U-shape, embracing a space that feels almost timeless. A chapel with multicolored stained-glass windows captures the light, scattering it in vibrant hues. Beyond, the eye drifts over rolling countryside, its colors changing with the seasons. A cedar-lined path leads to the woods, inviting quiet walks, while a stone basin and a swimming pool extend this sense of serenity. And at the heart of it all, the château — approximately 1,300 sqm in total, including around 1,000 sqm of living space. Its south-facing façade, characteristic of the 18th century, opens generously to the light, filling the interiors with a constant softness. In contrast, the north façade tells another story: three towers of differing architectural styles, one adorned with gargoyles, stand watch over even older features — mullioned windows, arrow slits, and the remains of the original moats, still filled with water. Every stone seems to carry a memory, every perspective reveals a new surprise. This estate is not merely a property. It is a place of history, character, and emotion — offering a rare canvas for those who can unlock its full potential.

This gem is situated just 20 minutes from the famous medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda and in the immediate vicinity of the valley’s most beautiful sites (the châteaux of Beynac and Castelnaud). More than just a château, this estate offers a level of cohesion rarely found on the international luxury market. The vastness of its 27 hectares offers complete seclusion and absolute privacy. Its rich history, combined with its modern facilities (sports annex, luxury suites, guest house), makes it one of the most exclusive properties in the Périgord Noir. The main château houses sumptuous, light-filled reception rooms, a master’s kitchen, a large, richly decorated period library and magnificent themed suites (Venetian, Versailles, Grasse…) featuring luxurious amenities and commanding views over the valley. Nestled at the heart of a 27-hectare private estate, the château is sheltered by its own mystical woodlands, private walking paths and terraces. At the centre of this lush setting, a magnificent infinity pool (divided into two basins, with a fully equipped pool house) has been built on the exact site of the estate’s former water basins, offering a space for absolute relaxation against the backdrop of the meandering Dordogne River. Sheltered from prying eyes and any disturbance, the property guarantees total privacy and absolute security. A thousand-year history of royalty and nobility. Originally built on a strategic hillside dotted with ancient springs, the Château stands as a living testament to France’s great history. The estate played a leading role during the Hundred Years’ War. Marked by successive architectural influences, the château retains a unique dual identity: its floors feature French fleur-de-lis tiles, whilst its walls bear the stencils of Saint George, symbols of the passage of English troops. In the 18th century, the estate entered the circle of the French high nobility. After the turmoil of the Revolution, the estate was enhanced in the 19th century by the addition of sumptuous Renaissance-style turrets, giving the château its current fairy-tale silhouette—a perfect blend of a medieval fortress and the romanticism of a fairy-tale palace. Now fully restored, it houses a historic library where the coats of arms of successive families are hand-painted on the ceiling beams. This château is not simply a property one treats oneself to; it is a rare privilege, the acquisition of a piece of French history suspended above one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. Will you be the next guardian of this centuries-old masterpiece?

Because the commendatory abbots generally lived at court or in their dioceses, the residence was arranged and decorated from the mid-18th century onward in order to be rented to private occupants. This use explains the refined and residential character of the interior decoration, much of which has survived in remarkable condition. Offering approximately 400 m² on each level, the ground floor is organized around a central vestibule paved with cabochon stone tiles and positioned along the main axis of the façade. This space leads to the reception rooms and formerly provided access to the cloister. Two lateral doors framed with sculpted cartouches decorate the vestibule: one adorned with stylised foliage in a pure Rocaille style, the other with a medallion depicting an armoured figure holding a quiver and crowned with a laurel wreath. To the left of the vestibule lies a large salon measuring 7.29 m by 10.72 m, with stone flooring and four windows overlooking the courtyard of honour and the park. The room retains its original 18th-century décor. The central door, with its original woodwork and iron fittings, is surmounted by a sculpted panel depicting a trophy of musical instruments accompanied by a bust and garlands. The four side doors are decorated with stucco medallions representing allegories of the four seasons, created by itinerant artists of Italian origin—decorative work that is relatively rare in the region. The stone fireplace, with Rocaille ornamentation, was originally painted to imitate marble, while the grey wall tones today echo the colours used before the French Revolution. This wing of the ground floor also includes a small tiled sitting room with a wooden fireplace, a kitchen-dining room with terracotta flooring, a bedroom with dressing room and modern bathroom, and a service staircase. To the right of the vestibule is an oak-parqueted study with a 19th-century marble fireplace, created from the former waiting room of the abbatial residence, which was divided during the 19th century to form this office and a passage toward the dining room. The dining room retains most of its Louis XV decorative elements: the fountain, fireplace and sideboards beneath the windows are made of black marble from Solesmes. The fireplace mantel, designed and painted to resemble carved panelling, is made of sculpted stone, as are the frame of the central doorway decorated with a basket of flowers and the fountain surround crowned by a sculpted head of Neptune. A second vestibule leads to the main staircase, a wooden stair with square balusters dating from the late 17th century. Its first flight is built into the thickness of the wall, leaving access to the library, whose doorway is surmounted by a sculpted 19th-century head. This level also includes the library, a dining room installed in the former kitchen with terracotta flooring, a monumental fireplace and an original cooking range, as well as a small kitchen, a laundry room, various service rooms, a small cellar and a WC. The first floor is arranged around a gallery that serves four bedrooms with bathrooms or washrooms, two additional bedrooms, a children’s bedroom, a bathroom and a linen room. In the south wing there is an independent apartment composed of a living room with an 18th-century fireplace, a library, a kitchen and a bedroom with bathroom and WC. A large attic extends above the whole building. The outbuildings include several service buildings containing storage sheds, a workshop, stables, a tack room, a barn, a dovecote, a sheepfold, and former bakery and dairy buildings. A caretaker’s house, entirely restored in recent years, comprises an entrance hall, tiled kitchen, back kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and WC. The property is also equipped with full equestrian facilities. The stable features Regupol rubber flooring in the stalls and in the wash area, with Röwer & Rüb boxes (4 x 3.6 m) made of hardwood, galvanized and painted burgundy, and a solarium equipped with UV and infrared lamps. The indoor arena, of Olympic dimensions (21 x 61 m), is drained around the perimeter and every ten metres. It rests on a crushed stone foundation with a compacted layer, topped with 14 to 16 cm of Fontainebleau sand mixed with high-quality Belgian fibres. The arena includes safety mirrors (6 m in the centre and 3 m in each corner) and an irrigation system supplied by water from the river. A lunging ring with a diameter of 18 m, built on a compacted crushed-stone foundation, is covered with a mixture of Fontainebleau sand, natural sand and fibres to create a deeper base. Wooden paddocks complete the equestrian facilities. The entrance gatehouse, the façades and roofs of the abbot’s residence, the well, the vestibule and staircase, the large salon and dining room on the ground floor, the seven bedrooms on the first floor, and the bridge over the stream are all listed as **Historic Monuments**. The façades and roofs of the outbuildings, together with the dovecote in its entirety, are listed on the **Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments**. The property therefore benefits from the favourable tax regime associated with Historic Monument status.

There are places that seem suspended outside of time, where every stone tells a story and nature reigns supreme. In the heart of the Pays de Bray, where the hills are adorned with meadows and hedgerows, a discreet path leads to an avenue lined with centuries-old trees. Little by little, the outside world fades away. No more neighbors, no more overlooking neighbors, only birdsong, the wind rustling through the branches, and the feeling of entering a secret, entirely unspoiled domain. It is there, surrounded by fields stretching as far as the eye can see, that a 17th-century château stands, flanked by its two towers. Behind its stone and brick façade, typical of the region, the residence has gracefully weathered the centuries. Carefully restored, it has preserved the authenticity of its architecture while embracing modern comforts. Inside, the magic is immediate: a majestic antique staircase winds its way up four levels, the original parquet floors bear the patina of time, monumental fireplaces warm the reception rooms, and light plays across the delicate woodwork. With its 350 square meters of living space, the château lends itself equally well to family life and the art of entertaining. Spacious reception rooms open onto the park, eight bedrooms are spread across the floors, some with their own bathrooms, and a large attic room invites relaxation or convivial gatherings. In the basement, superb vaulted cellars recall the property's prestigious history. Just a few steps away, a second architectural ensemble unfolds, perfectly designed for welcoming and entertaining. Around a charming courtyard are grouped a renovated farmhouse in the purest Norman tradition, a former barn transformed into a guest house, as well as a reception hall and a covered courtyard for celebrating grand events. This private hamlet forms a self-contained space, preserving the owners' privacy while offering exceptional potential for creating a high-end guesthouse or an exceptional hospitality venue. The estate also includes several Norman outbuildings, such as workshops, a woodshed, garages, and a gatehouse requiring complete restoration. Below, a 17th-century fountain and wash house, listed as Historical Monuments, have stood silent witnesses to a rich and glorious past for centuries. Just five kilometers away, the small spa town of Forges-les-Eaux offers shops, a casino, restaurants, a golf driving range, and lakeside walks. Nearby train stations and motorway access provide easy connections to Rouen, Dieppe, Amiens, Paris, and Beauvais International Airport, located an hour's drive away. This unique estate, perfectly secluded in a verdant setting, embodies the rare combination of historical beauty and modern comfort. An ideal location to envision a prestigious hospitality project, or simply to experience château life in a bucolic and unspoiled setting.

15TH-CENTURY ESTATE IN DOMBLANS In Domblans, on the banks of the Seille and nestled within lush greenery, this 15th-century château has stood the test of time. A stately home, it retains a distinctive presence, thanks to its ancient stonework and its setting within the Jura landscape. Behind its porch, nearly 800 m² of living space opens onto a 7-hectare park, a lake and several outbuildings. An estate where history and nature strike a perfect balance. A PRESENCE ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE JURA The Château de Domblans is part of a deep-rooted historical legacy, situated on the banks of the Seille, within a landscape shaped by vineyards, stone and water. Over the centuries, the property has evolved, transforming itself with restraint. The 19th-century restorations then served to affirm its architectural identity, in a respectful dialogue with the existing structure. The château thus became a discreet witness to regional history, passing through the ages without ever severing its ties to the land. The courtyard arranges the buildings and creates a sense of distance between each structure. Below, the pond forms a self-contained water feature, bordered by dense vegetation. The pathways are organised between the courtyard and the landscape. The stone terraces extend the rooms out to the thresholds. Further down, the swimming pool is situated within a defined, mineral-like space, set back from the main circulation routes. LIVED-IN ARCHITECTURE, BETWEEN VOLUMES AND MATERIALS From the entrance, the materials make a striking impression. The façades, the old stones, the openings and the lines of the building create a presence that is both understated and structured. Inside, the original features complement the spaces: exposed beams, vaults, fireplaces, wood panelling, old floors and generous ceiling heights. The spaces unfold fluidly, revealing varied perspectives and living areas that are both intimate and open. Fifteen living rooms and seven bedrooms, some on the ground floor, create a layout ideal for family life and entertaining. The whole retains a warm, almost timeless atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a sense of rootedness and continuity. A PROPERTY OPEN TO NATURE AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Surrounding the château, the 7-hectare grounds feature a progressive layout of spaces, alternating between open areas and more secluded sections. Pathways wind their way through, connecting the buildings, the immediate surroundings and the more distant parts of the estate. The pond lies below, bordered by dense vegetation, and serves as a visual focal point. Centuries-old trees frame the views and filter the scenery, whilst the orchard and springs extend this diversity of atmospheres. The outdoor areas allow for a variety of uses, ranging from receptions and outdoor activities to more secluded spaces. The whole site flows seamlessly between the castle's surroundings and the more natural parts of the estate. The outbuildings extend this concept. The barn, orangery, former stables, workshops, cellars and attic form a collection of distinct, pre-existing structures. Each space can be put to use immediately as required. The site can thus accommodate daily life, accommodation or events, building on the existing layout. This capacity for adaptation fits seamlessly into the estate's continuity, without disrupting its balance. THE AGENCY'S VIEW We are struck by the authenticity of this place, its integration into the landscape and the harmony between architecture, nature and history. This château, with its park and pond, offers a living experience that bridges the past and the future.
