Situated in Perigord Pourpre, this characterful residence sits at the heart of a single, unified estate spanning nearly 39 hectares, where a stone-walled park, meadows, woodland and vineyards form a coherent whole within a gently rolling landscape.
This territorial continuity is one of the property's greatest assets. The meadows, woods and vineyards trace out a rural landscape that offers the residence a setting both intimate and open, with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.
The chateau currently offers approximately 369 m2 of liveable space. The reception rooms are generously proportioned, and several suites are already fitted out. The house retains a genuine character, with its original elements, fireplaces and spaces that still invite personal evolution of the place.
A further 140 m2 or so, currently requiring renovation, offer the possibility to expand and progressively re imagine the living spaces. Around the chateau, the outbuildings too tell the story of the estate. A former wine storage building, storage spaces, workshops and various annexes represent approximately 373 m2 of adjoining dependencies, to which a further 86 m2 of detached buildings are added. An agricultural shed of 435 m2 completes this ensemble of particularly generous proportions.
An independent caretaker's cottage of 77 m2 of liveable space, with two bedrooms, living area and bathroom with WC, brings genuine autonomy to the property and can naturally support different life projects.
The stone-walled park forms a setting around the residence before giving way to the lands that stretch on as a single unified expanse. Nearly 2 hectares of vines, planted with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, complete the meadows and woodlands and echo the viticultural identity of this terroir.
The property thus lends itself to several ways of being imagined: a grand family home, a secondary residence, an entertainment venue or a hospitality project. The already-developed spaces, the areas to be renovated, and the diversity of the outbuildings offer genuine freedom to its future owner.
Approximately 8 kilometres from shops, the train station and services, and 40 minutes from Bergerac and its airport, the estate thus combines the feeling of a property deeply rooted in the countryside with appreciable accessibility.
It offers the sense of a true estate, with nearly 39 hectares in a single holding. The stone-walled park, which gives the chateau its intimacy and character. The diversity of buildings, which allows several uses around the residence to be imagined. The spaces still to be re imagined, which leave genuine freedom for the future owner. An estate to discover to fully appreciate its volumes, landscapes and possibilities.

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.
