Former 14th century Relais de Poste and castle north of Limoges
Step back in time and enter a very special property that was once home to musketeers of the king, the first mayor of Arnac and many other prominent members of French society. This medieval Relais de Poste is a testament to more than 700 years of fascinating history of the Limousin. Of the four original medieval towers, one is still standing with the original spiral staircase. The main building of the castle has been carefully renovated, preserving historical elements and transforming it into a beautiful family home with potential for a gîte or bed and breakfast.
In addition to an open kitchen, dining room and lounge on the ground floor, the castle currently has four beautiful apartments. Each unit sleeps up to 12 people and has been carefully designed with a kitchenette, dining and living areas, bedroom and ensuite bathroom. This makes the accommodation perfect for a large family or a chambre d'hôte.
With a separate one-bedroom gîte, a summer kitchen, several barns and a further 3-bedroom house in need of renovation, there is plenty of potential for further development.

The views from the castle extend over the central courtyard, gardens, groves, fields and a hidden lake.

The grounds and outbuildings
The 2.8-hectare estate has an L-shaped courtyard and garden, a summer kitchen with gas, electricity, hot and cold water, perfect for hosting unforgettable garden parties.

The largest of the stone barns has been granted planning permission to be converted into a beautiful, two-storey medieval-style dining room, complete with a professional kitchen (180 m2 in total).

Another stone barn (64 m2) with electricity and water.

Another stone barn (98m2) with 2 floors.
Two old towers, demolished in the 16th century, stand on the edge of the lake and offer the opportunity to turn them into romantic honeymoon suites.

A new 500-litre septic tank was installed in 2021, along with a complete renewal of the electrical installation, plumbing and roof repairs.
