Ideal as a primary or secondary luxury residence, or for a high-end hospitality project.

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 20 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 20-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?

Discreetly nestled in the heart of a picturesque village in Seine-et-Marne, near the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, just one hour from Paris, within an unspoiled and bucolic setting, this 18th-century manor, recognised as a ‘Remarkable Heritage’ property, together with its outbuildings, is set within more than 1.2 acres of grounds, entirely sheltered from view. From the street, the façade, the walls and the large solid electric gates form a protective barrier, revealing nothing of the residence’s distinguished history. Built in 1749, the manor has retained all the hallmarks of 18th-century classical architecture: restrained lines, symmetry, harmonious proportions, enfilade reception rooms, Versailles parquet flooring, antique terracotta tiles, cabochon stone flooring, period fireplaces and woodwork, oeil-de-bœuf windows, panelling and mouldings, all contributing to its irresistible charm. The authenticity and spirit of the property have been perfectly preserved, while benefiting from the modern enhancements introduced by its previous owners, emblematic figures of luxury, elegance and refinement. First came Karl Lagerfeld. The celebrated Chanel designer, an art lover and connoisseur of exceptional residences, immediately recognised the rarity of this property, offering both proximity to Paris and the peace and escape of the Brie countryside. He imbued the house with his distinctive taste, introducing discreet yet luxurious comfort suited to a place designed equally for living, working and relaxation, combining modernity and authenticity down to the finest detail. The leading models of the era came here to pose for him within this exceptional setting. He was succeeded by his friend Princess Caroline of Monaco and her husband, the Prince of Hanover, who lived here for several years with their children, drawn by the property’s privacy and by the quality of life offered by the village and its many amenities. The manor offers approximately 4,845sqm. of living space over three levels served by two staircases. On the ground floor, the reception rooms arranged in enfilade, with numerous large windows, open southwards onto the vast lawn of the beautifully landscaped garden, where a swimming pool could be added.

Ref.4845 : In the Heart of the Berry Region, a 15th–17th C. Château with Park, Moat and Outbuildings Just three hours from Paris by motorway, southern Boischaut is a region that combines the gently rolling plains of the Paris Basin with the foothills of the Massif Central, which feature a more rugged terrain. This natural region, covering the southern parts of the Indre and Cher departments—that is, the former province of Berry—is primarily devoted to cattle farming. The landscapes here are therefore green and often dotted with hedgerows, possessing a discreet yet enduring charm. It is “Le Berry, which takes hold of you and never lets you go” as described by George Sand, a native of the region. The area is ideally situated in the centre of France, close to two major motorways: the A20 ‘L’Occitane’, linking Brussels and Paris to Toulouse on the one hand, and the A71 ‘L’Arverne’, providing access to Clermont-Ferrand and, beyond that, Montpellier from the capital. Chateaumeillant, La Châtre and Saint-Amand-Montrond, small towns full of character with a rich history, are located near the château. The first is known for its high-quality vineyards, the second lies at the heart of the ‘Pays de George Sand’, with its many events, and the third, dubbed the ‘City of Gold’ as it is France’s third-largest centre for gold jewellery production, is often associated with Noirlac Abbey, a marvel of Cistercian architecture situated nearby. Finally, for younger visitors, Sam Parc, also located in Saint-Amand Montrond, is one of the best amusement parks in the Centre region. Just a little further on, Bourges is a major city of art and history, making it a natural choice to become the European Capital of Culture in 2028. You’ll love strolling through its historic and shopping centre, between the Palais Jacques-Cœur, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, and Saint-Etienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the capital of the Berry region, Bourges is not just an open-air museum. The city lies at the heart of a vibrant economic region where the aerospace and defence industries are particularly well represented. The château is approached by way of a fixed bridge spanning the former moat, its entrance symbolically guarded by a tower. Beyond lies a splendid esplanade upon which the residence reveals itself as a classic 17th-century manor house adjoined by a remarkable medieval keep flanked by two towers, one of which contains a staircase turret. The manor itself rises over three storeys, including an attic level beneath a hipped roof clad in flat tiles and crowned with two lead finials along the ridge. At the north-eastern corner of the roof stands a purely decorative brick échauguette. The principal façades, oriented east to west, display elegant rows of windows adorned only with subtly projecting sills. On the eastern elevation, a remarkable wrought-iron and glass veranda inspired by the Art Nouveau style occupies the centre of the building. On this same façade, to the south, stands a neo-Gothic stair tower. To the north of the manor, a narrower and lower rectangular structure provides the connection between the northern tower and the keep. The northern tower, imposing in mass, rises over three levels beneath a conical roof. The keep itself is square in plan and surmounted by a pavilion roof clad in flat tiles, its ridges embellished with ornamental lead finials. At its south-western corner stands a staircase turret capped with a conical roof. Defensive openings remain visible at several points throughout the structure. Upon entering the manor house, one finds on the ground floor a through entrance hall leading, to the right, into a vast drawing room with fireplace, illuminated by windows opening onto both sides of the building. At the far end of the entrance hall lies access to the neo-Gothic stair tower, while to the left are the dining room, opening onto the veranda, and a small ancillary room serving as a secondary kitchen. Proceeding along the corridor and still to the right are a return staircase ascending to the upper floor, a lavatory, a small artist’s studio, and, beyond a few steps, a spacious kitchen with adjoining laundry room and pantry. This kitchen enjoys a terrace to the east and an exit onto the arrival esplanade to the west. The return staircase leads to the first floor, where a broad corridor gives access to four bedrooms, three with shower rooms and one with a bathroom. At approximately one-third of the corridor’s length stands a wooden staircase ascending to the attic floor, formerly used as servants’ quarters. At the second third, a landing provides access to an independent lavatory and to the neo-Gothic stair tower. Returning northwards, the corridor passes an independent lavatory featuring the remains of an archway, before narrowing as it enters the connecting building. It then opens onto a large bedroom with bathroom and continues towards the keep’s grand hall, an impressive room with generous ceiling height, illuminated to the north and south by stained-glass windows with window seats. A monumental fireplace bearing the arms of the Boissieu family, still in working order, lends great distinction to the space. A narrow passageway gives access to a charming study located within the northern tower. A short corridor then leads to the stair turret and up to the second floor of the keep, where one first encounters a long storage room, formerly the château’s fruit store, before entering a vast hall with fireplace and windows fitted with stone seats, currently used as a billiard room. The staircase continues upwards to magnificent attic spaces beneath a timber framework shaped like an inverted ship’s hull. Beneath the keep lie a former wine storehouse and a wine cellar. The outbuildings are, for the most part, grouped together in a large U-shaped complex, comprising a tack room, a shed, a stable used as a garage, a four-room flat (including three bedrooms) used as a guest house, a very large cowshed, a donkey stable and a number of small outbuildings. The property is in fairly good visible condition. In the grounds, there is a beautiful greenhouse-orangery that could be used as a reception room, in good visible condition. The grounds, covering a total area of 8.5 acres, are shaped like an isosceles triangle. The château and outbuildings are situated at the base of the triangle, whilst the park, criss-crossed by several beautiful avenues, occupies the rest. An interesting feature of the site is that the moats and water ditches form an enclosure separating an ‘inner park’ – an English-style garden, beautifully landscaped and well-maintained – from an ‘outer park’, which is more natural in character and features a pretty pond. A small bridge and a footbridge allow visitors to move from one area to the other. This layout lends the whole site a distinct romantic charm.

Located near Vic-Fezensac, with its shops, schools, and medical services, this superb château—whose origins date back to the 15th century and was rebuilt in the 18th century—offers 550 m² of living space, complemented by a vast convertible attic. It stands at the heart of a 2.9-hectare wooded park featuring a swimming pool. The entrance gate opens onto an elegant tree-lined driveway leading to the residence. The ground floor is arranged around a wide cross-shaped hallway paved with terracotta tiles, distributing the living spaces harmoniously. It includes a large south-facing living room, a second north-facing lounge with an original 15th-century fireplace, a beautiful dining room adorned with wood paneling, and a bright kitchen opening onto a spacious terrace.

Refurbishment work is to be expected to modernize the property (electricity, kitchen, bathrooms), but it already benefits from recent upgrades, including a central heating system with a heat pump installed in 2024, which can be combined with an existing wood-fired boiler in the basement. Part of the insulation was redone the same year, and some windows are double-glazed. The park, remarkable for its century-old trees, also includes outbuildings to renovate or convert, a former stone basin, and a 12 x 6 meter swimming pool. The property enjoys a particularly ????? and nuisance-free setting, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. A charming property offering great potential, ideal for a family home or hospitality project. Fees to be paid by the seller.

The Château d'Espas is a remarkable example of a medieval ''Gascon castle'' located near a small village in the Gers department of Armagnac. Its austere, almost military appearance, closely resembling 13th-century defensive architecture, makes it particularly interesting. It is believed to have been founded by the Counts of Armagnac at the end of that century. Built of red brick, it is relatively rare for Gascon castles, where stone usually predominates. Its layout is very compact: a rectangular main building flanked by four square towers. Originally, access was via a high gate, likely accessed by a ladder or removable staircase, typical of defensive medieval fortresses. The castle also has a connection to the d'Artagnan family: it belonged to the de Batz-Castelmore family, the lineage of the famous musketeer. Under Richelieu, it was reportedly partially dismantled, like many feudal strongholds of the period. Despite this, it still retains a remarkably authentic silhouette today. Another interesting fact: it was practically in ruins before being bought in 2000 by a passionate couple who undertook a restoration that was very respectful of the medieval structure. The work preserved the authenticity of the materials and spaces, in a spirit of respect for heritage. Their work was even recognized by the Vieilles Maisons Françaises (French Old Houses Association). The castle has been listed as a Historical Monument since 1979. The castle is spread over three levels, comprising the central building and four square towers. There is a single main entrance on the ground floor, leading to the great hall, which is unfurnished (earthen floor, brick walls). It has remained as it was in the 13th century. The four towers on the ground floor have been converted into living spaces. They serve as: - a bedroom with exterior access - the boiler room - a storage room - a laundry room with a toilet. On the first floor is the living area: a landing with a large entrance closet, the reception room, the living/dining room, a fitted kitchen in the northwest tower, a bedroom with a dressing room and en-suite bathroom in the northeast tower, a second bedroom in the southwest tower, and an office in the southeast tower. The attic is located on the second floor. Near the château is an outbuilding with a lean-to. The garden, covering 5,087 m², surrounds the château and features boxwood and topiary. Renovations have included the installation of underfloor heating in the main rooms on the first floor. The electrical system has been updated, and the sanitation system is up to code. The listed status as a Historic Monument underscores the property's exceptional heritage value and also allows for tax benefits related to the restoration and preservation of heritage sites. Château d'Espas represents a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic historic property in the heart of the Gers region, a place where art de vivre, heritage, and nature intertwine.

In a peaceful valley of forest and field lies this magnificent abbey, a listed Hitstorical Monument, with a proud history and splendid architectural features in its exterior and interior. Set within a single estate of 18 ha 08 a 96 ca crossed by a small stream, this elegant château rises at the heart of a landscaped property. Originally the abbatial residence of a monastery, the estate features a pleasant tree-lined entrance drive, a beautiful courtyard of honour, and a well-designed park enhanced by an old hornbeam walk and fine ornamental trees. A small kitchen garden and meadows dotted with ancient oak trees complete the setting. The property enjoys a privileged location between Le Mans and Angers, in the midst of preserved countryside. A village with essential shops lies only 3 km away, while a small town less than 10 km from the property provides full services and a TGV railway station. The estate is also easily accessible via the nearby motorway. The château corresponds to the former abbot’s residence of the monastery. 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.
