A 15th-century bailiff’s house, refurbished in the 17th century, with its enclosed garden in the historic city of Uzerche in the Corrèze department. Along the main road that borders the western side of the city’s ancient ramparts, scattered with garden patios and overlooking the gorges of the Vézère River, private mansions and chateaus bear witness to this town’s former administrative power – the result of its loyalty to the Kingdom of France – which then only increased once it was promoted to a seneschalty in the 16th century. Today, the town’s centre is meticulously maintained with urban amenities that highlight the unity of its architectural heritage. Initially composed of two contiguous buildings, the three-story house, with common walls on either side, is now one unified private mansion, but has kept both its front doors in order to facilitate circulation. Facing east and the street, the house’s rubble stone façade with brushed lime plaster has been the subject of many adjustments over the centuries by the village’s royal officers, known as the “culs blancs” (“white pants”), and is punctuated by two low-arched picture windows that alternate between the two front doors. The first door, under a Gothic arch, still has its solid studded double door, while its tympanum is safeguarded by stately ironwork; the second entrance is more modest with a single door and a fanlight protected by bars. With their vaulted appearance, these large, ancient windows and doors enliven the façade without disrupting the overall harmony of the rest of its ornamental features. On the first floor, moulded ashlar stone typical of the late 15th and early 16th centuries surrounds three deep-set windows with shutters. Rectangular in shape and identical, two of them precede, on the right, a third window topped by an ogee lintel with four moulded baguettes. Crowned with Allassac slate, in excellent condition, and rounded dormer windows, the house has a mansard roof on one side and a gabled one on the other. In addition, on its western and rear façade, a vast patio atop archways communicates with the living rooms on the ground floor and overlooks the grounds’ terraced gardens. This façade is punctuated by large wood-framed windows, which provide the various rooms with dual-aspect sunlight all day long. Lastly, on the other side of the street, an outbuilding has enough room to park one vehicle.

A 13th-century chateau, its outbuildings and feudal vestiges between Brive-la-Gaillarde and the foothills of the White Périgord region. From the hamlet’s small square, a 150-metre no-through road, framed on either side by large outbuildings that partially mask the property, provides access to the chateau’s court of honour via a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pillars. The property’s enclosure walls, the round tower with its Renaissance dormer window and the crystallised ruins of an ancient lookout tower, are the remaining vestiges of the early chateau dating from 1226, which was expanded in the 15th century with the construction of the three-storey main building and its square tower, and then restored in 1650, this last phase being accompanied by the construction of the mansard roof outbuildings as well. Facing east to west, the barlong-shaped main building has a hipped roof flanked on opposite corners by two towers, one round and topped with a pepperpot roof and the other square with a pavilion roof. The three-storey façades of this classical-style dwelling, in lime-pointed rubble stone, are cadenced by many tall casement cross-windows with ashlar stone surrounds. The façade also has two sets of double glass doors with semi-circular spoked fanlights as well as two bull’s-eye windows, and is topped with a rounded dormer window on one side, which dynamically highlights a central row of windows. Two monumental chimneys rise up from this side of the roof as well, while the towers’ façades are punctuated by small windows, oculi and glass doors. All the windows and doors are safeguarded by single or double-leaf wooden shutters, with the exception of the mullion dormer window topped with a triangular pediment and a pinnacle that crowns the vertical row of windows on the chateau’s northern gable end. With two hectares of land, the property’s buildings were all constructed out of blond limestone and topped with Allassac slate roofs. Adjacent to the round tower and extending on from the main dwelling, a two-storey outbuilding, used mainly as housing, faces a triangular domestic outbuilding, which encloses the grand courtyard on one side. The latter is extended to the south by a large rectangular, landscaped patio, which provides the chateau’s western façade with a panoramic view, while from the chateau’s eastern façade, the grounds bordered by a gravel area reveal swathes of woodlands that extend towards the south. Lastly, an immense right-angle outbuilding used for agricultural purposes is located on the other side of the drive.

A 19th century, modernised “barn-cowshed”, with 4 hectares, on the heights of the Plateau-de-Millevaches in the Limousin region. Off a secondary road, a country lane runs alongside the estate’s woods for some 300 metres before reaching the entrance gates. A driveway, planted with evergreen oak trees, leads to a car parking area for up to 8 cars. Bearing witness to the know-how of local builders (those masons who left the Limousin region to go and build in Paris and Bordeaux), this robust, rural building, constructed from granite for farming purposes, is 50 metres long. It has a continuous roof extending over the house, the barn and the cowsheds. It stands in 4 ha of parklands, entirely enclosed by fencing; one is taken up by a copse, whilst the three others are a mixture of landscape garden, moorland and meadows.

The best of both worlds- a stunning 14th century château, once the property of Madame de Pompadour, now lovingly restored and ready to move into. Situated near Arnac-Pompadour, headquarters of the French National Stud, this beautifully-presented stone château is offered for sale in excellent order. Consisting of 30 exquisitely-decorated rooms on three levels including 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the property nestles within private grounds of 2.8 hectares. Probably of medieval origin, at one time a wolf-hunting lodge, the château is believed to have been given by Louis XV to his favourite mistress, Madame de Pompadour, in 1745. Its documented history traces back from around 1600 to the Sanzillon family, whose emblem can still be seen in several places around the château today. An impressively-proportioned great hall with imposing stone fireplace and pisé floor provides a centrepiece for the ground floor. Upstairs, the elegantly decorated master bedroom is adorned with rare enamel glass panels from the internationally-renowned 19th century artist, Amédée de Caranza. Many historic features can be found throughout the château including ancient brickwork containing text and a carved wooden mantlepiece. The present owners embarked on an extensive restoration project some 25 years ago, utilising master craftsmen and the finest local materials to bring the property into pristine condition. Across the courtyard from the main château building is a spacious two-storey galleried annexe which would be a perfect function facility for weddings or conferences. In addition to the château, there is also a 3 bedroomed cottage in excellent order, as well as a stand-alone traditional bread oven. Securely fenced, a salt water heated swimming pool with large changing room/summer kitchen sits discreetly between the château and cottage. Within the grounds are many mature trees and shrubs, a large decorative pond and a fresh water spring. Garden equipment is securely housed in a triple garage/toolstore. With just a 10-minute drive to all commerce, the racetrack and of course the magnificent 11th century château at Pompadour, this property is ideally located. Price including agency fees : 1 950 000 € Price excluding agency fees : 1 857 143 € Buyer commission included: 5%
