Beautiful French Château for Sale in Southwest France
Nestled on the slopes of a tranquil valley, this enchanting château is surrounded by cascading ponds and lush woodlands, offering unparalleled peace and privacy.
A picturesque tree-lined driveway leads to the château’s esplanade, where the residence, forming a U-shape, is the centerpiece. The property consists of the main dwelling, an east wing, and a north wing, with a total living space of approximately 800 m².
The Main Dwelling
This three-story structure comprises two primary buildings connected by an entrance porch. Its south-facing façade features a round tower and a square projecting tower, while the staircase tower is integrated into the northern facade.
Ground Floor:
The entrance archway leads to a large sitting room adorned with a striking 16th/17th-century fireplace bearing the Lobeilhac coat of arms. This evocative space reflects the château’s rich hunting heritage.
A passageway connects this sitting room to the east wing.
The spiral staircase leads to the upper levels.
Mezzanine Floor:
Enter through the grand salon, a magnificent room with a monumental fireplace, pebbled flooring, and stained glass windows reminiscent of the opulent Middle Ages.
In one corner of the living room, the base of the Round Tower, a small room with a semi-circular bench, serves as a discussion or games room.
The fully equipped kitchen adjoins a breakfast room.
A WC and bathroom complete this level.
First Floor:
The first half-level opens into the "Long Room," a stunning space with timbered ceilings and wood paneling. Hidden doors reveal a bathroom and WC.
On the second half-level, a gallery with terracotta tiles and painted ceilings leads to:
The “Squire's Room,” a luxurious suite featuring a sitting room with fireplace, separated from the bedroom by a stained-glass partition. The laddered parquet flooring, the vast windows, the superbly painted ceilings and the size of the room transport us irresistibly to the Renaissance. A beautiful bathroom, installed in the Round Tower, completes this flat.
Two additional smaller bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
Second Floor:
Above the Long Room, a large attic bedroom with its own bathroom and WC offers access to a terrace connecting the stairway and square towers.

A remarkable billiards room with an inverted ship’s hull ceiling adds an intriguing charm. Small tower rooms offer intimate spaces for contrast.
