Aquitaine, Dordogne, Carlux, France

In the heart of the Périgord Noir, nestled between the Dordogne Valley and renowned heritage sites, this 16th-century medieval manor house seems to have watched over the valley for more than five centuries.

Known as the Petit Château (Little Castle), this former seigniorial residence, built in 1510 after the destruction of the original castle, now offers approximately 189 square meters of living space in a unique atmosphere, steeped in history and authenticity.

Behind its thick walls and dressed stone, the residence reveals all the characteristics of the noble buildings of its era: majestic castle fireplaces, high ceilings, a spiral staircase serving four levels, characterful reception rooms, and remarkable natural coolness in both summer and winter thanks to its exceptionally robust construction.

The manor house comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a kitchen, an office, large attics suitable for conversion, and 3 cellars, including a superb vaulted cellar and a stone cellar.

Outside, the 5,424 m² grounds form a veritable haven suspended above the valley. The garden, protected to the east by the old castle rampart and to the west by an impressive 4-meter-high perimeter wall, boasts a bountiful orchard with walnut, apple, cherry, pear, plum, and hazelnut trees.

From the property, the view encompasses the forest, the valley, and the ruins of the neighboring castle. A vibrant panorama, changing with the seasons.

The location is particularly privileged, with a village and its shops just 2 km away, the Dordogne River in the immediate vicinity, Souillac 10 minutes away, and Sarlat-la-Canéda 15 minutes away. The property is also located in the heart of the major tourist attractions of the Périgord Noir, surrounded by castles, caves, listed villages, canoeing and kayaking, gastronomy, and hiking trails leading to Rocamadour.

A rare find for lovers of history, old stone buildings, and unspoiled landscapes.
