Inside a Rare French Estate Overlooking the Dordogne Valley. Maxwell-Baynes Real Estate KP1090

A Magnificent Restored Historic Estate for Sale in the Golden Triangle of the Dordogne near near Sarlat-la-Canéda, France. Maxwell-Baynes Real Estate Ref: KP1090

With origins dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, we present this remarkable historic estate of rare provenance, beautifully reimagined for contemporary living. Remodelled in 1905 to create its present elegance and recently the subject of a comprehensive renovation, the château now offers refined accommodation across 9 bedrooms, each appointed with its own en suite bathroom.

Grand Reception Rooms & Elegant Interiors
A spacious entrance hall, adorned with original 19th-century encaustic floor tiles, sets an immediate tone of grandeur and authenticity. From here, access is provided to the vaulted wine cellar and a series of additional cellars, together with the principal reception rooms and staircase to the upper floors.
The magnificent grand salon is an exceptional entertaining space, featuring a monumental stone fireplace, parquet flooring, rich wood panelling, and beautifully painted exposed beams of notable craftsmanship. This gracious room flows seamlessly into the orangery, where panoramic views stretch across the estate, while further reception rooms include an elegant library and an intimate small salon with newly laid parquet flooring and bar area.
The formal dining room, with wood panelling, fireplace, and adjoining butler’s service area, is perfectly suited to both private family dining and larger gatherings. A newly completed principal kitchen connects to a separate laundry and utility area.

Luxurious Bedroom Accommodation
The first floor hosts six generously proportioned bedroom suites, including an outstanding principal suite enjoying dual-aspect views across the estate to the distant River Dordogne. The suite features a freestanding bath and private bathroom with oversized walk-in shower.
The second floor offers a further substantial bedroom with en suite bathroom, in addition to further bedrooms served by an additional bathroom.
The third floor comprises two further bedrooms together with a loft room offering excellent potential for conversion into an additional suite, games room, home cinema, or wellness space.

Modern Comforts
While steeped in history, the château has been thoughtfully updated for modern living, including a newly installed heat pump central heating system with reversible air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort.

Outbuildings & Grounds
The estate includes an exceptional collection of ancillary buildings, notably an authentic 19th-century barn, a charming matching poultry house, and a stable block set within the meadow below.
A particularly enchanting feature is the separate 15th-century two-storey cottage, historically believed to have served as a hospital in the medieval period. In need of renovation, it offers superb potential as a guest residence, caretaker’s house, or independent retreat.
The grounds are as captivating as the residence itself, comprising sweeping meadows with spectacular views over the River Dordogne, mature woodland, and the romantic ruins of an ancient tower once used as a strategic lookout over the valley. Additional parcels of land on the river plain below provide direct access to the Dordogne itself.

Prime Location
Strategically positioned in a village within the renowned Golden Triangle of the Dordogne, the domaine lies just 7 kilometres from Sarlat-la-Canéda, the historic and cultural capital of the region, celebrated for its vibrant markets, acclaimed restaurants, and year-round amenities.

A Rare Opportunity
This estate represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully restored historic château of scale, authenticity, and distinction in one of France’s most desirable regions—equally suited as a private residence, luxury retreat, or multi-generational family estate.
