Château de Lalinde featured in Country Life
We are delighted to share that one of our most exceptional listings, Château de Lalinde, has been featured in Country Life, the prestigious magazine renowned for showcasing the finest country homes and heritage properties around the world.
Perched elegantly above the peaceful waters of the Dordogne River, this striking château is more than just a home, it’s a true piece of medieval history. Built in the 13th century, it is believed to be the first château constructed by an English monarch in the Aquitaine region, a fascinating link to the area's Anglo-French past.
Country Life highlights the property’s architectural integrity, including its distinctive corner turrets and surviving elements of the original keep, all of which speak to its storied past. Over the centuries, the château has evolved from a fortress to a prison, a 19th-century hotel-restaurant, and now, a beautifully restored private residence.
Inside, the château spans four floors of Regency-style refinement. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three reception rooms, the interiors have been carefully curated to balance historical character with modern comfort. Elegant finishes and timeless furnishings lend the home a sense of quiet grandeur.
Outdoors, the charm continues: a walled terrace is perfect for dining alfresco, while a private swimming pool provides a luxurious place to unwind in summer. From its elevated position, Château de Lalinde enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the Dordogne River and surrounding countryside.
Set in the picturesque bastide town of Lalinde, the property is ideally located. Local shops, markets, and cultural spots are on your doorstep, while Bergerac Airport is just 18 minutes away, and the nearby train station offers direct connections to Bordeaux, Sarlat, and beyond.
As Country Life puts it, Château de Lalinde is a rare opportunity for those looking to own a "slice of French heritage"—whether as a private home, a luxurious holiday retreat, or even an exclusive events venue.
