Extensive unconverted spaces offer exceptional potential to create additional bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms, an intimate private lounge, or further reception and leisure areas, allowing future owners to tailor the estate to their individual lifestyle and vision.



Follow the spiral stone stairs down to the basement and you are greeted with a unique underground swimming pool, what was formerly the "cave" is now a stunning blue lagoon with unique acoustics. A further set of steps on the other side of the pool lead to the hammam, a small fully tiled sauna room with a shower, insert seating and separate toilet area. Glazed doors open onto the private spa terrace, while a separate doorway provides direct access back to the château.



The estate also includes three exceptional guest houses, each with its own private swimming pool. These independent residences feature wood-burning fireplaces, double-glazed windows, private terraces, contemporary kitchens and elegant travertine flooring throughout. The exceptional attention to detail is evident at every turn.



The estate unfolds within a landscape of exceptional natural beauty, featuring a magnificent lake with a cascading waterfall, expansive meadows, mature woodland, productive truffle oak groves and a charming vineyard. Its extensive grounds make it particularly well suited to equestrian pursuits. A substantial barn further enhances the property, offering extensive workshop facilities together with generous garaging.



Despite its complete privacy, the estate enjoys excellent accessibility, with the international airports of Bergerac and Limoges both within easy reach, providing convenient connections to destinations across Europe and beyond.



Both grand in scale and remarkably intimate, the estate provides an unrivalled sense of privacy and security, creating a peaceful sanctuary in which to relax and unwind.
