Whether envisioned as an exceptional private family estate or as the foundation for a luxury hospitality venture - offering the potential for an elegant Bed and Breakfast, an exclusive venue for weddings, wellness retreats, corporate gatherings or private celebrations - this magnificent chateau represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the Limousin's most captivating historic properties.
Set within 22,678 m2 of landscaped and partially wooded grounds, the beautifully restored chateau was originally built in 1740, with its distinctive turrets, which give the property its unmistakable castle-like silhouette, added a century later in 1840.
Arranged over four floors, the chateau offers eleven bedrooms, magnificent reception rooms, two spacious living rooms, a formal dining room and the spectacular former Armoury, centred around its impressive six-metre fireplace.
Previously operated as a popular chambre d'hotes, the estate naturally lends itself to hospitality, while its orangery, covered entertaining areas, mature grounds and outstanding reception spaces provide an exceptional backdrop for weddings, wellness retreats, corporate gatherings and exclusive private events, subject to necessary permissions.
Outside, the estate continues to impress with a swimming pool, spa with sauna and Jacuzzi, woodland walks, terraces and its own three-hole pitch and putt course. Additional unconverted accommodation offers further scope for expansion, subject to the necessary permissions.
Peacefully situated just twenty minutes from Limoges International Airport and close to local amenities, this is a rare opportunity where historic elegance, refined living and exceptional lifestyle potential come together in one remarkable estate.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
