Striking 18th C country château

Magnificent restored 18th-century château near Limoges, offering ten en-suite bedrooms, grand reception spaces, an exceptional carved oak chimney, and extensive private grounds with orangery, tennis court, pool, jacuzzi, sauna chalet, and zen garden. Ideal as a luxurious residence, boutique hotel, spa, or prestigious event venue.

Nestled like a hidden treasure in the rolling countryside just fifteen minutes from Limoges

Just fifteen minutes from Limoges, hidden within rolling countryside, this remarkable 18th-century château—constructed in 1740 under the reign of Louis XV—stands as a luminous example of French elegance and heritage.

Originally conceived as a hunting lodge, the estate was beautifully expanded in the 19th century with the addition of two imposing towers that now frame its majestic façade. Legend deepens its allure: it is said that Napoleon III himself gifted the château to its then-owner prior to his imprisonment following a failed coup. While impossible to verify, this captivating tale is reinforced by an extraordinary artefact—an immense, six-metre carved oak chimney breast, created in the lavish style of the Second Empire and installed within one of the towers. A masterpiece of craftsmanship, it captures the splendour of its time.

The château has been meticulously restored and elegantly appointed, offering an exquisite blend of historical authenticity and modern comfort. Set within extensive, secluded grounds, the estate includes a magnificent orangery and ten beautifully decorated bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, providing a level of comfort worthy of a private hotel.

A wealth of leisure amenities ensures relaxation and enjoyment: a professional tennis court, an inviting outdoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi and sauna chalet, a spacious garage and workshop, and a tranquil zen garden designed for peaceful reflection.

Inside, grand reception rooms invite convivial gatherings, while quiet nooks provide privacy and serenity. The atmosphere is one of indulgence, refinement, and effortless luxury.

Perfect as an opulent family home or an exceptional second residence, the property’s configuration also lends itself superbly to professional ventures. With its enchanting setting and versatile layout, it would make an ideal boutique hotel, spa retreat, wedding venue, or exclusive event space.

A sanctuary of history, elegance, and possibility—this château offers an extraordinary lifestyle in a setting of rare beauty.
