The 750 m² (8,073 sq ft) residence is habitable as is, with restoration to be carried out over time. Outbuildings, agricultural land, and an optional 16th-century manor add to the scope of the property.

The 19th-century Palladian château is set within 4.36 hectares (10.77 acres) of land near the border of Corrèze and Cantal, in a predominantly rural part of central France. The property is habitable as is, with restoration to be carried out over time, and is listed for €534,000 with Patrice Besse Immobilier.

Positioned on the edge of a village, the château sits near the Dordogne River, separated by a 13-hectare field, with views extending across pasture and woodland toward the volcanic hills of Bort-les-Orgues.

Constructed in the early 19th century, the château reflects a Palladian style adapted to French classicism. It occupies a site below the remains of a fortified structure dating to around 1470, once held by the same family. The south façade is defined by a symmetrical seven-bay layout centred on a triangular pediment, drawing on the proportions of classical temple architecture.

Internally, the structure retains original elements including vaulted ceilings of approximately 3.5 metres on the ground floor, parquet flooring with areas of marquetry, and stone flagging in select rooms. The layout includes multiple reception rooms, including a double salon on the first floor with herringbone parquet, a marble fireplace, and decorative ceiling detailing. In total, there are 10 bedrooms across the upper levels, along with a billiard room on the second floor that retains its 19th-century character.

The grounds extend across 4.36 hectares (10.77 acres), with a park defined by mature trees including lime, beech, and conifers, arranged around a central lawn. Rose beds are positioned in front of the house. A swimming pool measuring 11 by 4.5 metres (54 m²), constructed in 1981, is located within the grounds and requires full restoration.

Outbuildings include an attached barn of approximately 110 m² used for vehicle storage and housing the pool’s technical systems, with an attic level above. Two additional agricultural barns, each exceeding 400 m², sit within adjoining pastureland. The estate also includes a kitchen garden, a buildable plot, and approximately 2.85 hectares of agricultural land extending to the east and north of the château.

An optional 16th-century manor, located near the southern entrance to the park, provides approximately 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) across three levels, including a vaulted cellar. Defined by a round tower with a spiral staircase, the structure requires full restoration but retains original architectural elements.
