Property description

Situated in the market town of Nontron, the capital town of the Green Perigord ( North Dordogne) this magnificent small chateau has been beautifully and sympathetically restored to its current high standard over the past three years.

The property is accessed through electric gates leading down a sweeping gravel drive through an acre of landscaped garden/parkland surrounding the chateau.
The property has five bedrooms, three reception rooms, two luxury bathrooms, downstairs cloakroom, fully fitted kitchen, utility , cold room, wine cellar and several useful outbuildings including Victorian orangerie. Total accommodation is 400 square metres.
Outside there are superb gardens and parkland with mature mixed trees, along with two small paddocks suitable for equestrian use. In total the land is just under 2 acres.

This property would make a fantastic family home, but equally lends itself to other possibilities such as a luxury chambre de hotes or a boutique style hotel. The venue would be perfect for hosting wedding receptions.
