Limousin, Haute-Vienne, Limoges, France

An elegant Eighteenth century chateau offering deceptively spacious interiors blending historic grandeur with exciting modern potential, set in almost 5 acres just 15 minutes from Limoges.

The property is approached via a private, tree-lined driveway that winds gracefully toward the property. Once owned by a Count and one of Napoleon Bonaparte's Generals, this character property dates back to 1790. The current owner has undertaken significant renovations, with major structural and system upgrades already completed across the ground and first floors.

Many original features remain, including wonderful fireplaces that enhance the chateau's timeless charm.
