This prestigious property is situated on the edge of two regions of character: Bordeaux and Périgord and more particularly the Bergerac area. This splendid castle has a real and long history directly linked to those of the Counts of Duras, Lords of Clermont and Duras, whose origins date back to the 13th century. It is situated on the top of a hill, which gives it a splendid view of the surrounding countryside, and in particular the 3+ acres that make up its park. The property has retained much of its medieval character through very characteristic features such as fortified walls, tiled floors and high beamed ceilings. The castle consists of a large entrance hall leading to a living room, a study, a dining room, a kitchen, a laundry room and two bathrooms. On the first floor, what was once a banqueting hall has been transformed over the centuries into two very spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The property also includes a former caretaker's house which has been recently renovated. It offers a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and two shower rooms and toilets. This living space is very suitable for guests who wish to have privacy. The medieval character of the whole estate is reinforced by the presence of a barn, a wine storehouse, an old pigsty and three wells. The unbuilt part of the estate is mainly made up of meadows and a small orchard. Medieval-type estates, such as this small castle, are increasingly rare and sought-after in a rapidly expanding market for prestigious historic properties. This strong demand is due to the growing interest of buyers in the rich and eventful history of this region of Aquitaine, a land of passages, agricultural traditions and multiple historical influences. It is also based on a real proximity to the city of Bordeaux, the regional capital, with its centuries-old history and rich architectural heritage. Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers the owner of a prestigious property all the luxury services, shops, restaurants and theatres that one could wish for. Finally, the proximity of a major railway station and an international airport serving France, the main European capitals and the entire Mediterranean basin is a guarantee of openness to the world, which is an essential asset in terms of enjoyment and development of the exceptional property presented here.
