Step back in time at this exquisitely restored 16th-century French château with a heated swimming pool and expansive private estate, situated in a picturesque setting above the Dordogne, close to the vineyards of Bordeaux, Bergerac, and Saint-Émilion, and just a short distance from a charming riverside village.

This beautiful vacation home, which served as the feudal residence of a local noble family until the middle of the 19th century, has just undergone a comprehensive renovation to offer modern conveniences together with distinctive historic character.

Enjoy its rich history as you stroll through the grand piano-equipped entryway (classes can be arranged) and unwind in the elegant salon, TV lounge, or games area.
The beautifully equipped kitchen has a La Cornue double oven and a wood-burning cast iron fireplace, while the dining area has 3 m high ceilings and a stone fireplace.
There are two lovely offices, a meeting room, and a modern gym up in the 12th-century tower, which may be reached by ascending the winding stone stairs.
Admire the ancient architecture, traditional features, fine furniture, and works of art throughout this magnificent French château.
Ten exquisite bedrooms, the most with en suite bathrooms, including a master king-size double in each of the two wings, can accommodate 20 guests.
Families are cordially invited; you may discover toys, kid's literature in both French and English, as well as a variety of outdoor sports including football nets, badminton, and ping-pong in the 16th-century pavilion (where wine was formerly produced).
The lavender and rosemary scents of the summertime surround the heated saltwater pool, which is situated near to walnut trees and a sizable field ideal for games.
Enjoy fresh foods from the vegetable garden at your leisure and dine al fresco on one of the patios.
The gorgeous, 90-acre estate with its various rose gardens and open meadows will enchant visitors of all ages.
It is in a beautiful location with views of the Dordogne valley, just over 1 mile from the river's banks and a tiny village with restaurants, a tabac, and options for canoeing and kayaking.
Three kilometres distant from the boulangerie and weekly fruit and vegetable market in mediaeval Gensac, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande holds one of the best Saturday morning markets in the area.
This area is a wine connoisseur's dream, so explore the nearby vineyards or venture out to the wines of Bordeaux and Bergerac as well as the charming hilltop village of Saint-Émilion!
Not to mention charming French restaurants, restaurants with Michelin stars, and numerous atmospheric markets featuring delectables from the Dordogne and Gironde.
