Perched high above the Dordogne River in the heart of the prestigious Périgord Noir, this exceptional historic château and estate are set within more than 30 hectares of private woodland and grounds, commanding breathtaking panoramic views over the valley. Accessed via a spectacular 900-metre private driveway, the château combines complete privacy with close proximity to Sarlat-la-Canéda and the celebrated villages of Domme, Beynac and La Roque-Gageac. Dating from the 17th century and enlarged in the 19th century, the château has been beautifully renovated while preserving its historic character and original architectural features. The principal residence offers approximately 1,000 sqm of elegant living space across three floors, including ten ensuite bedrooms, grand reception rooms, a magnificent library, formal dining room and an impressive salon with monumental fireplace. Air conditioning and central heating provide modern comfort throughout. Designed equally for refined private living and luxury hospitality, Château Rouffillac also benefits from a proven track record as a luxury rental property and exclusive wedding venue, highly sought after by an international clientele. The estate includes a fully renovated five-bedroom guest villa, caretaker’s house, swimming pool with pool house, gym, workshops and several outbuildings. The evocative ruins of the 11th-century Chapelle de Cadiot add a rare historical dimension to the property. Rarely does a château of such scale, authenticity and elevated position come to market in the Dordogne. Château Rouffillac represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the region’s most remarkable private estates.
