Castle Vic-Fezensac (32)

ON EXCLUSIVITY Historic château at the edge of a village in an unspoilt setting  Overview A tree lined gravel driveway just off a road reveals this impressive historic château in its surrounding mature garden grounds. There has been a château on this site since the 14th century and over the years the château has been renovated and extended in different areas which highlight aspects from a variety of historical periods and a few quirky features. There is extensive accommodation over 3 floors which make it suitable for a variety of purposes. It is enhanced by a walled garden with a large inground swimming pool and terrace and a gîte with its own garden. Overall, its large windows and doors give it a light and airy feel. All areas are immediately usable but some would benefit from further upgrading work and this is reflected in the asking price. Key points Private location yet not far from towns with a range of commerce Traceable history documented locally Spacious airy rooms overlooking the unspoilt grounds Grand stone facade and internally numerous character features Easy access to international airports and motorway The Chateau There is a lot of history attached to the château and a local historian presents this in a book. Externally one can see the tower around which it has been extended and internally the stone arches are a prominent feature on the ground floor and attached barn. There are numerous other character features with large stone fireplaces, oak flooring beams and an impressive wooden staircase. The main rooms are spacious with their high ceilings, large windows open on two walls and panelled flooring. Overall it extends to over 500m2 yet it does not feel unmanageable for a large or extended family who could be self-contained on the top floor. Passing through iron gates at the side is the main entrance which opens into a hallway with the kitchen to one side and a large dining room to the other. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped and there is ample space for informal dining. The dining room houses a long table suitable for large parties. At the end a door leads to a boot room and toilet and another to the garden. On the internal wall is a glass panel which reveals a large older entrance with arched stone openings and the main staircase. Off this area is a large wine cellar/store/ utility room also with the stone arches. The first floor has the main living accommodation - a living room with stone fireplace and doors to the hall and out to a paved terrace with views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, a larger more formal lounge with doors directly onto the terrace and the Juliette balcony to the front of the property, a small study with drinks fridge which overlooks the front, 2 double bedrooms, a bathroom, an adjacent shower room and a small room suitable for a child or study. There is also a large storage area in the former tower. The second floor has a similar layout but is currently presented as a separate apartment with its large lounge, 5 double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate shower room, a small fitted kitchen and a tower store room. Other buildings Through a gate in the gardens which leads to the swimming pool and its terrace or through the stone barn from the front is a compact and charming gîte with its open plan living/ dining/ kitchen areas and a bedroom and shower room. In addition there are 2 separate large stone barns, one of which has stone arches. They are currently used as storage for agricultural machinery and wood for the two wood burners. The grounds The grounds extend to just over 5 hectares, some of which is set out more formally and other parts are left as natural woodland. It is bounded by a river to the rear at a lower level. There are numerous older trees and features framing the gardens providing an interesting vista from the terraces. The walled garden houses the 12x6m chlorine swimming pool and surrounding terraces. Along the wall are former animal houses which are used for storage etc. To the side and behind the gîte is a grass area which extends to the driveway. The property benefits from a natural water source allowing easy access to water for gardening and the pool. Location The property is well situated to enjoy the benefits of its private situation and rural location yet its proximity to the neighbouring towns for commerce, cultural and sporting activities. The Gers is renowned for its love of good food, wine and Armagnac and there are numerous weekly markets where local produce is sold. The rich cultural heritage can be experienced in the bastide towns and the rolling countryside around it enjoyed. It is possible to take day trips further afield to the Atlantic beaches or to the Pyrenees ski resorts.

Castle Perigueux (24)

Ref. 4278 : Magnificient 15th & 18th c. listed castle, for sale, in Dordogne This magnificent chateau dates back to the 14th century and is located in the Dordogne, between Brive and Périgueux. Nestling on a hillside overlooking the River Auvézère, it enjoys a beautiful, peaceful setting. The property spans more than 29 acres of parklands and gardens, woods, a pond and numerous buildings (caretaker's cottage, barn, stables and henhouse ....). Originally, this area probably housed a fortified house, built to watch over and protect the ford crossings between the Limousin and Périgord regions. At the end of the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453), this fortification lost its raison d'être. In 1521, Pascal Dolce, a native of Béarn, set up a forge along the Auvézère, near the now obsolete fortifications. Under the management of his successor, Noël Souvelin, the forge prospered. Souvelin probably obtained the concession for the old, abandoned fortification and undertook extensive work to transform it into a residence. His daughter Marguerite married François Pasquet, a merchant from Excideuil, in 1539. The Pasquet family then took charge of the castle and forge for several generations. Jean Pasquet, their eldest son, served Kings Henry III and Henry IV as a knight. His imprint is visible throughout the castle and garden, whether through his motto ('Spes mea deus') or his representation as the 'Knight with the white feather'. In 1656, following a marriage, the castle and forge came under the ownership of the de Lubersac family. During the French Revolution, the château was abandoned and became national property. It wasn't until 1819 that Louis Combescot, ancestor of the current owner and master blacksmith at the Bord ponds, bought the forge and the château, both of which were in an advanced state of disrepair.He and his descendants set about clearing away the irreparable ruins resulting from decades of neglect.The family moved into the château, and the forge remained in operation for over a century, until the last iron was poured from the blast furnace in 1930. In its current structure, the château comprises a central main building, set between two round towers, and a wing set at right angles to this building. The large courtyard and the parkland that extends from it are bounded to the west by the buildings used as outbuildings. The west facade of the main building features mullioned windows on both floors and two dormer windows opening into the attic; these dormer windows are topped by pediments with solid tympanums. The angled south-facing building dates from the 17th and 18th centuries but was rebuilt on earlier foundations. Behind this wing, a square pavilion was added in the 19th century, blending in with the rest of the building. On the east facade, overlooking the river and the forge, the two towers of unequal diameter were probably originally linked by a curtain wall. As on the west facade, the main building between them features mullioned windows and dormer windows with ornate pediments. The architectural load of the junction between the north tower and the main building is supported by a horn, in the hollow of which is nestled a sculpture representing the tortured face of a figure wearing a draped headdress. The Renaissance gateway, which has been rebuilt in the grounds, symbolises the Italianate style of the late 16th century with its many sculptures. A cartouche in the centre of the entablature bears the castle's motto 'SPES MEA DEUS'. The château has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1979, and is closely linked to the forge, whose origins probably date back to the end of the Hundred Years' War. It was built between the 14th and 16th centuries and comprises a main building flanked by two cylindrical towers. On the façade of the main building, a beautiful Renaissance door framed by two columns supporting a triangular pediment opens onto a straight barrel-vaulted staircase. The current owners' dwelling is set at right-angles to the house and faces north/south over three floors.
