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.

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.
