Saint-Aquilin, Aquitaine, Address available on request

A small 17th century château on a human scale, rebuilt on medieval walls. It overlooks a charming, very picturesque Périgord village. It faces south and the gardens also face the sun. This small castle is probably one of the few where all the living space is at ground level. The layout of the various buildings is such that they form a beautiful courtyard bordered to the north by a rock wall. The builders of this exceptional property have used common sense. The courtyard is accessed via a porch surmounted by a dovecote. A 15th-century round tower separates the main house from the caretaker's quarters. The living area is 212 m2 for the main house and 68 m2 for the caretaker's accommodation. The large cellars and the barn total around 160 m2. Most of the 33680 m2 of adjoining land is wooded and requires no maintenance.
