Aquitaine, Dordogne, Saussignac, France

A41075VGR24 - his elegant four-storey residence forms the central section of a beautifully restored 17th-century château, set high above the Dordogne valley with breathtaking views across the organic vineyards and wooded hillsides. It is a home that truly captures the heart — filled with light, character, and history.

Lovingly restored and maintained, the property is presented in excellent condition. The façades have been repointed, the roof and guttering renewed, and the formal courtyard — with its neat conical topiary — is maintained by the local commune, ensuring minimal upkeep.

The residence benefits from its own private entrance and a pretty front garden, leading into a welcoming hallway with guest W.C. The vast living area, once the château’s grand reception hall, offers around 100 m² of bright, open space with 4-metre vaulted ceilings, a magnificent stone fireplace, and a stylishly fitted kitchen. The sense of volume and light gives the room a timeless, almost gallery-like atmosphere.

The original stone staircase, wide and beautifully preserved, links all four levels. The first floor offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two W.C.s, and a practical laundry area. The upper floor includes a spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom and W.C., a large studio or creative workspace, and storage housing both the gas and electric boilers. From every window, the views are stunning — either towards the peaceful château courtyard or across the open valley and vineyards.

On the lower level, vaulted stone rooms create an inviting summer kitchen and wine cellar, opening directly onto the private landscaped garden of approximately 1 250 m². A 10 × 6 m bio-UV filtered swimming pool with automatic cover is set alongside a broad stone terrace enjoying panoramic views of the countryside. A shaded dining area beneath grapevines adds a perfect touch of French charm, and this level also includes a fifth W.C. and a media room.

The property is equipped with central heating (gas combi boiler with underground tank), an alarm system, and fibre-optic internet.

The village itself is a hidden gem — small, quiet, and remarkably artistic, home to a friendly community of wine and art enthusiasts. In July and August, the village hosts weekly summer wine parties, bringing residents and visitors together in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Though in the very heart of the village, the setting remains peaceful, with every convenience close at hand and stunning views from every room.

Just a short drive away are Bergerac, its international airport, and the prestigious Château des Vigiers Golf & Country Club. Regular markets and cultural events in nearby towns such as Eymet and Bergerac add to the area’s appeal.

A truly exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Dordogne history — a residence of rare elegance, with unparalleled views and an artistic village ambiance unlike any other.
