Architect-restored stone property

Architect-restored stone property built on the ruins of a former Templar castle, offering breathtaking views over the Dordogne valley. Two character houses linked by ancient walls, infinity pool, garage and extension potential. A rare historic setting close to Saint-Émilion, Libourne and Bordeaux.

Ideally located, the property lies just 20 km from Saint-Émilion, 25 km from Libourne and its TGV station, 70 km from Bordeaux Airport, and only 10 minutes from an SNCF station, shops, supermarkets and schools.

Set in an exceptional elevated position overlooking the Dordogne valley, this remarkable property is built on the ruins of a former Templar castle and enjoys truly breathtaking panoramic views. Rich in history and atmosphere, the estate comprises two independent stone houses connected by the original surrounding walls of the château, which lend the property its unique character and timeless appeal.

The entire ensemble has been carefully and tastefully restored by an architect, combining historic authenticity with modern comfort.

The main house, with a living area of approximately 135 m², is built directly against one of the ancient castle walls. On the ground floor, it offers a magnificent 53 m² living and dining room featuring a beautiful stone fireplace, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A second 23 m² reception room, currently used as a sitting room, study or library, provides a more intimate space. The fitted kitchen completes this level. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort.

The first floor, accessed via a stone staircase set within the thickness of the original wall, reveals a spacious bedroom and a generous bathroom with WC and dressing room, creating a private and refined suite.

The second house is designed for relaxed living and entertaining. It opens onto a covered terrace that functions as a true summer kitchen, perfect for enjoying the exceptional setting. On the ground floor, there is a bedroom with its own bathroom, WC and dressing room.

Upstairs, a second bedroom benefits from a large picture window with uninterrupted views over the swimming pool and the Dordogne valley beyond.

A vast garage, housed in a former stone barn, completes the property and offers ample space for vehicles, storage or further development.

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique historic property, combining architectural heritage, modern comfort and spectacular views in one of the most beautiful settings of southwest France.
