Description

Become the next Custodian of a 14th Century Relais De Poste / Manoir. Step back in time and into a very special property that was once home to Musketeers to the King,the first Mayor of Arnac and many other notable members of French society.



This Medieval Relais De Poste stands as a testament to over 700 years of captivating Limousin history. Out of four of the original medieval towers, one still stands and houses the original spiral staircase. The main building of the château has been thoughtfully refurbished, preserving historic elements while transforming it into a stunning family home and the potential for a gite or Bed and Breakfast business (subject to necessary permissions).



In addition to a ground floor open plan kitchen and dining room, the Chateau currently holds four exquisite apartments. Sleeping up to 12 people, each unit is designed with a kitchenette, dining and living area, bedroom and en suite bathroom, making the property perfect for a large family or chambre d’hôtes (subject to necessary permissions).



With a second coach house, summer kitchen, stables, piggeries and numerous barns there is so much potential for even further development (subject to necessry permissions). Views from the Chateau flow over the central courtyard, gardens, copses of woodland, fields and a hidden lake. The remnants of two ancient towers, razed in the 16th century, sit on the edge of the lake and holds the potential to become romantic honeymoon suites or an exquisite backdrop for a charming pool area.



A new 5000L septic tank was installed in 2021.



This property is a true testament to the love, craftsmanship, and memories invested by its current owners, who have had an important role to play in the legacy. Are you the next special individual ready to embrace this extraordinary opportunity and continue the story of this Chateau? Featured on a Channel 4 programme about French property - more details available during a visit.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
