Historic Château Estate on 108 Ha with Ponds + Dovecote

Magnificent 15–16th C château with listed 15th C dovecote set within 108 ha of parkland, woods and ponds. Offering elegant reception rooms, six bedrooms, extensive outbuildings and rental houses, this peaceful estate combines historic charm, privacy and significant potential for residential, equestrian or tourism projects in unspoilt countryside.

Set in the heart of the unspoilt Montmorillonnais countryside near Le Dorat

Set in the heart of the unspoilt Montmorillonnais countryside, this exceptional château dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, later remodelled in the 19th century, enjoys a truly remarkable natural setting. Surrounded by rolling meadows, woodland and ponds, the property extends across an impressive 108-hectare estate, offering complete tranquillity with no immediate neighbours.

Accessed via a majestic oak-lined driveway, the château is revealed progressively, enhancing its sense of grandeur. The main buildings are arranged around a superb semi-circular courtyard in a U-shape, with the central residence flanked by two wings set at right angles and enclosed by an elegant Second Empire-style gate.

To the south, a beautifully landscaped park surrounds the château, complete with a pond and tree-lined pathways leading to a remarkable 15th-century dovecote, listed as a Historic Monument and retaining its original features, including hundreds of nesting boxes.

The château itself offers approximately 400 m² of living space, characterised by generous proportions and abundant natural light. The ground floor opens onto a spacious entrance hall leading to elegant reception rooms, all enjoying views over the terrace, valley and water features. These include a large panelled living room with fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring, two additional sitting rooms, a refined dining room, a kitchen, bathrooms and a cellar. The left wing houses a second kitchen, study and boiler room, while a bedroom in the west tower is accessible independently.

Upstairs, a fine oak staircase leads to four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms within the main building, complemented by an additional bedroom in each of the two towers. The attic level offers significant potential for further conversion.
