Tucked away in the peaceful and discreet Cour des Chanoines, in the very heart of Sarlat-la-Canéda’s historic center, this 15th-century historic house stands as a rare testament to the architectural heritage of the town. Directly adjoining the Chapel of the Blue Penitents — Sarlat’s oldest and only remaining Romanesque chapel — the property offers a truly unique setting, steeped in character and centuries of history. It was notably featured on the cover of Le Vieux Sarlat, the reference book by Jean Maubourguet (Éditions Pierre Fanlac), confirming its status as one of the city’s emblematic addresses.
Spanning approximately 200 sqm (2000 sqf) across three levels, the home benefits from generous volumes and a singular atmosphere. From the moment you enter, the authenticity of the space becomes evident through the 17th-century French-style painted ceilings, solid oak floors, and a harmonious layout. The living room, with its original fireplace, opens onto a warm and functional open-space kitchen. Three bedrooms, including a striking attic suite, are complemented by a study, two elegant bathrooms featuring cast-iron clawfoot bathtubs, and three separate WCs.
The property offers two working fireplaces, supplied by a discreet wood reserve, and is heated via a central gas system with classic cast-iron radiators. The same system ensures domestic hot water, eliminating the need for a separate water heater and ensuring consistent comfort year-round.
Outside, a charming balcony-terrace benefits from sun exposure and features both hot and cold water access, along with a discreetly integrated jacuzzi. It provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining or quiet relaxation, with no disturbances in sight — no restaurants or noise affect the serenity of this intimate square.
On the ground floor, a temperate cellar, a boiler room, and a private garage — a true rarity in a protected historic district — complete the offering. The roof has been entirely redone with a stunning original chestnut timber frame and traditional old tiles, attesting to the quality of the restoration work. Fully connected to the mains drainage system, the property is in excellent overall condition and ready to occupy immediately.
A discreet address, walking distance from the market, stores and restaurants, rich in soul and history, this exceptional home is destined for a buyer with a true appreciation for authenticity and heritage, in one of France’s most beautifully preserved medieval towns.
