Dordogne Chateau and Estate - 58ha of land, lakes, cottage & stables for sale

An impressive Chateau and Estate with 58 hectares of land, lakes, pool, cottage and stables in the heart of the Dordogne countryside. This attractive property has a pretty stream running through the centre of the plot and is surrounded by woodland. Although needing some modernisation, this Chateau would lend itself to equestrian, fishing and hunting activities. The principal Chateau, built in around 1850, is comprised of 7 bedrooms, four bathrooms, triple-aspect office, lounge, dining room and country style kitchen. Structurally sound, the property would benefit from a thorough refresh. Approached via a tree-lined drive, the estate also includes a caretaker’s apartment with three bedrooms, lounge, bathroom and kitchen. Other outbuildings include a large stable block with 8 stalls and tackroom/workshop, cottage to renovate and pigeonnier tower. The grounds of 58 hectares (140 acres) are a combination of partly fenced pasture, woodland and three lakes (10,300m2, 100m2 et 800m2). These are bisected with a stream and waterfall. Much of the woodland is managed, and generates a useful income. There is a large 12 x 6 metre pool with recent liner, a vegetable plot and an orchard with Apple and Pear trees. Approximately 1 hour from Bergerac airport and 1 hour 30 minutes from Bordeaux Airport, this property would make an ideal family home or could lend itself to a tourism business. The market towns of Riberac and Montpon are both within a twenty minute drive and the popular leisure lake of Lac Jemaye - with beaches, bars and restaurant - is a few minutes' away.
