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.
