Description
At Fougueyrolles, in Périgord Pourpre, this characterful residence sits at the heart of a single, unified estate spanning nearly 39 hectares, where a stone-walled park, meadows, woodland and vineyards form a coherent whole within a gently rolling landscape.
This territorial continuity is one of the property's greatest assets. The meadows, woods and vineyards trace out a rural landscape that offers the residence a setting both intimate and open, with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.
The château currently offers approximately 369 m² of liveable space. The reception rooms are generously proportioned, and several suites are already fitted out. The house retains a genuine character, with its original elements, fireplaces and spaces that still invite personal evolution of the place. A further 140 m² or so, currently requiring renovation, offer the possibility to expand and progressively reimagine the living spaces.
Around the château, the outbuildings too tell the story of the estate. A former wine storage building, storage spaces, workshops and various annexes represent approximately 373 m² of adjoining dependencies, to which a further 86 m² of detached buildings are added. An agricultural shed of 435 m² completes this ensemble of particularly generous proportions.
An independent caretaker's cottage of 77 m² of liveable space, with two bedrooms, living area and bathroom with WC, brings genuine autonomy to the property and can naturally support different life projects.
The stone-walled park forms a setting around the residence before giving way to the lands that stretch on as a single unified expanse. Nearly 2 hectares of vines, planted with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, complete the meadows and woodlands and echo the viticultural identity of this terroir.
The property thus lends itself to several ways of being imagined: a grand family home, a secondary residence, an entertainment venue or a hospitality project. The already-developed spaces, the areas to be renovated, and the diversity of the outbuildings offer genuine freedom to its future owner.
Approximately 8 kilometres from shops, the train station and services, and 40 minutes from Bergerac and its airport, the estate thus combines the feeling of a property deeply rooted in the countryside with appreciable accessibility.
What I love about this property:
The sense of a true estate, with nearly 39 hectares in a single holding.
The stone-walled park, which gives the château its intimacy and character.
The diversity of buildings, which allows several uses around the residence to be imagined.
The spaces still to be reimagined, which leave genuine freedom for the future owner.
An estate to discover to fully appreciate its volumes, landscapes and possibilities.
