manors with pool for sale Brantôme, France

Situated in the heart of the Périgord Vert, this stunning and well-proportioned estate represents an outstanding opportunity, successfully balancing the prestige of an authentic French manor with the practical requirements of a modern commercial venture or a high-end family estate. The early 19th century manor is defined by its elegant rooms and genuine character and retains its most desirable original features. The living areas feature beautifully preserved oak floors, providing an immediate sense of warmth and luxury. The gorgeous turned staircase winds its way through the floors and leads to wide open halls running the full length of the property. The expansive attics feature high timber-framed ceilings, offering clear potential to create additional guest suites. A full-height basement runs beneath the property, ideal for a professional-grade wine cellar, laundry facilities, or secure storage. The estate is set on 16 hectares of land characterised by established parkland and mature trees. The land surrounding the home ensures total privacy and a tranquil environment yet remains manageable for maintenance. The property includes extensive private frontage on the Côle River with full fishing rights. Crucially, the château and outbuildings are situated on elevated ground, far enough from the bank to ensure they remain entirely unaffected by any potential flooding. The estate includes two swimming pools, ideal for business use, allowing one pool to be dedicated to a private residence while the other serves guests or rental clients. A rare historical asset containing its original mechanisms, the watermill could be restored as a unique museum feature, restaurant, or converted into high-end guest accommodation. The massive stone barn structure is a blank canvas and with its high ceilings and open floor plan, it is perfectly suited for conversion into a luxury wedding venue, a corporate retreat centre, or an art gallery. The Dordogne region is a world-class destination for tourists, and the estate is located just minutes from Brantôme, known as the Venice of the Périgord. This ensures a steady stream of desirable visitors looking for luxury rentals and event spaces. Owners can enjoy the quiet authenticity of village life while remaining close to Michelin-starred dining, local markets, and regional transport hubs. The property is a versatile investment, whether utilised as a grand private residence with a secondary income stream or developed into a full-scale boutique hotel and event destination, it offers a level of authenticity and potential rarely found in the current market. A great advantage is that the furniture and furnishings are available upon negotiation.
