House for sale near Champagnac-de-Belair

In the heart of an authentic Périgord village, with schools and shops within walking distance, discover an exceptional property: a former 16th-century fortress, meticulously restored, where history meets the comfort of contemporary renovation.

Offering approximately 370 sq m of living space, this characterful family home captivates from the moment you arrive with its generous proportions, refined features, and the preserved charm of its original architecture.

The reception rooms offer a remarkable living environment. Two beautiful living rooms with three-meter-high ceilings, adorned with moldings, antique parquet floors, and period fireplaces, create warm and sophisticated atmospheres.

One opens onto a pleasant entrance courtyard, while the other boasts a terrace overlooking the Dronne Valley and offering breathtaking panoramic views.

The fully fitted and equipped kitchen seamlessly extends the living spaces and also provides access to the courtyard.

A pantry completes this functional suite. The house offers true single-level living thanks to an elegant suite with a private shower room and toilet, as well as an office that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. Upstairs, the sleeping area boasts exceptional capacity with five bedrooms, each with its own shower room and private toilet.

The true centerpiece of the property, the suite located in the tower, offers nearly 70 square meters of living space, comprising a large bedroom, a dressing room, and a full bathroom with a bathtub and shower.

The restoration, carried out with meticulous attention to detail, combines authenticity with energy efficiency. It now benefits from a C-rated energy performance certificate (DPE), high-quality modern appliances, efficient heating via a pellet boiler with a silo, and compliant sanitation. The basement houses several particularly useful utility spaces: a laundry room, a boiler room, and a superb vaulted cellar, a true testament to the history of the property.

Outside, the exceptional character of the property is further confirmed.

The ancient ramparts offer breathtaking views over the Dronne Valley and define several landscaped areas with varied atmospheres: a pleasure garden, an orchard, and natural terraces inviting contemplation.

A beautiful stone outbuilding completes the ensemble and offers numerous possibilities for development according to your plans.

Finally, ancient underground passages recall the prestigious past of this unique residence. Whether as a prestigious family home, a characterful holiday home, or a high-end bed and breakfast project, this property fulfills a variety of desires.

Its privileged location, near iconic sites such as Brantôme and Bourdeilles, while remaining easily accessible from Périgueux, Nontron, and Angoulême with its TGV station, makes it a rare find on the market.
