Description
Just ten minutes from the historic city of Limoges stands this exceptional château, fully renovated with passion, style, and elegance. The property is turnkey, allowing the new owners to simply move in and enjoy the results of the meticulous craftsmanship invested throughout.
Equally suited as a luxurious family residence or as a business venture, the château is registered for commercial use and has previously operated as a successful luxury bed and breakfast and wedding venue, generating around euros250,000 per year before the owners retired. Another attractive option is full-service château rental, with the potential to earn up to euros15,000 per week across a 26-week tourist season, making this not only a remarkable home but also a lucrative opportunity.
The château is set within just under 2.5 hectares of beautifully landscaped parkland, designed to provide privacy and tranquillity. Arriving through the grand wrought-iron gates, visitors are greeted by the striking façade, with its twin towers at the front and contrasting traditional rectangular rear, a rare architectural combination that makes this residence truly unique.
Inside, the ground floor opens with an impressive entrance hallway that runs from front to back, giving access to the terraces. There is a tower bar and social room, a large formal dining room, a generous lounge, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite, a semi-commercial kitchen with larder, as well as utility and service areas including a staff bedroom with en-suite. On the first floor are four large bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom, including one with a luxurious spa bath. The second floor offers four further suites along with the romantic bridal suite, complete with its circular tower bedroom, dressing room, and en-suite. The third floor is a vast attic, currently unused, but easily adaptable into self-contained apartments if desired.
The landscaped grounds are designed for both leisure and grandeur, with terraces, verandas, fountains, and hidden corners for quiet relaxation. Guests and residents can enjoy the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, tennis court, and even a small pitch and putt course. The fully restored Orangerie is a stunning feature, currently operating as a tea room and function space, while the large garage accommodates up to six cars above the original vaulted wine cellar, still used for storing wine today.
The château combines history and authenticity with modern comfort. Some original windows have been preserved to maintain character, while the property benefits from partial double glazing, mains drainage, full central gas heating, and extensive electrical upgrades.
This is a château of rare distinction, combining elegance, charm, and potential. Words and photographs can only suggest its atmosphere; to truly understand its beauty, it must be experienced in person. (3.85 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
