Chateau Limousin

About this property

Beyond the soft rise of the Limousin hills, Château Limousin emerges like a page from a French novel, its beautiful stone and regal stature quietly commanding attention. Surrounded by 22 hectares of private parkland, this restored 18th-century French château offers a setting of grandeur and natural charm.

Ancient trees are scattered across the mature grounds and a private chapel rests nearby as a reminder of the estate’s rich heritage. At the heart of the garden, a generous 18-metre pool glimmers beneath the summer sun, whilst lawns and terraces are perfect for outdoor dining and long, languid afternoons.

Inside, the château is vast yet welcoming, with various beautifully appointed living spaces, an elegant dining room and a fully equipped country kitchen. Original fireplaces, tall ceilings and decorative flourishes speak to its impressive past. With eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, including five ensuites, the layout could be well suited to a gathering of friends or multi-generational holidays. Beyond the bedrooms there’s plenty of space to unwind, whether over a piano in one of the salons, in the TV lounge or beside the fountain with a glass of wine in hand.

Life here unfolds at a gentler pace. Begin the day with breakfast in the traditional kitchen, take a quiet walk around the lake or sip coffee in the shade of ancient trees. The swimming pool awaits for hours of summer fun or play garden games across the vast lawns.

Located a short drive from the small village of Les Billanges, this corner of Haute-Vienne remains beautifully untouched. Just 30 minutes from Limoges, guests can explore the city’s medieval quarter, vibrant markets and porcelain museums, or venture into the Monts d’Ambazac for hiking and panoramic views. Across the wider region, lakes and forest trails offer abundant outdoor adventures, while day trips to hilltop villages and medieval towns  add depth to every stay.

Whether marking a milestone or simply seeking stillness, Château Limousin invites guests to experience authentic château life in France, where days stretch long and memories gather easily.

Set within 22 hectares of private grounds near the village of Les Billanges, Château Limousin offers a peaceful retreat in the unspoilt Haute-Vienne countryside.

A restaurant is just 2km away, while a bakery, grocery store and other essentials can be found within 5km. The nearby market town of Ambazac (13.5km) provides wider amenities and a large supermarket.

The surrounding region blends natural beauty with cultural charm. Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat (20km) is known for its medieval streets and Romanesque church, while the Monts d’Ambazac offer scenic hiking trails and countryside views. Just 30 minutes away, Limoges is famed for its porcelain heritage, historic old town and vibrant markets.

For outdoor activities, Lac de Saint-Pardoux offers beaches, watersports and forest walks, while the larger Lac de Vassivière is ideal for boating and picnics. Further afield, explore historic sites such as Châlus or visit picturesque villages like Mortemart, recognised among France’s most beautiful.
