Magical renovated 14th century Relais de Poste
Become the next Custodian of a 14th Century Relais De Poste / Manoir. Step back in time and into a very special property that was once home to Musketeers to the King, the first Mayor of Arnac and many other notable members of French society.
This Medieval Relais De Poste stands as a testament to over 700 years of captivating Limousin history. Out of four of the original medieval towers, one still stands and houses the original spiral staircase. The main building of the château has been thoughtfully refurbished, preserving historic elements while transforming it into a stunning family home and the potential for a gite or Bed and Breakfast business (subject to necessary permissions).
In addition to a ground floor open plan kitchen and dining room, the Chateau currently holds four exquisite apartments. Sleeping up to 12 people, each unit is designed with a kitchenette, dining and living area, bedroom and en suite bathroom, making the property perfect for a large family or chambre d’hôtes (subject to necessary permissions).
The separate annexe comprises of a kitchen, lounge, 1 bedroom and a bathroom, newly renovated in 2026. This beautiful space has its own courtyard and access to the extensive garden.
With a second house to renovate, a summer kitchen, and numerous barns there is so much potential for even further development. Views from the Chateau flow over the central courtyard, gardens, copses of woodland, fields and a hidden lake. The remnants of two ancient towers, razed in the 16th century, sit on the edge of the lake and holds the potential to become romantic honeymoon suites or an exquisite backdrop for a charming pool area.
A new 5000L septic tank was installed in 2021.
This property is a true testament to the love, craftsmanship, and memories invested by its current owners, who have had an important role to play in the legacy. Are you the next special individual ready to embrace this extraordinary opportunity and continue the story of this Chateau? Featured on a Channel 4 programme about French property - more details available during a visit.

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
