A few minutes from Martel and its causse, in a picturesque medieval village, on the edge of the Dordogne, this magnificent watchtower dating from the thirteenth century, built on the rampart wall, is accompanied by an old adjoining seigniorial dwelling. The whole offers about 250m2 of living space.
The tower consists of a very pretty semi-circular vaulted cellar, topped by 3 living levels of about 65m2 each, which is connected by a stone staircase incorporated into the original rampart. An attic of the same size, which can also be converted, dominates the building. The other building is part of the tower. It consists of a large living room of about 45m2 resting on a second cellar (not vaulted) with a whistled loophole, also integrated into the rampart. The latter extends outside, on the edge of the garden, with two other archers. The garden, planted with trees, of about 300m2, and two terraces, complete the property and ensure an undeniable charm.
The "upper ground floor" of the tower (1st level above the vaulted cellar) contains 3 bedrooms of 10m2, 15m2 and 16.5m2, served by an entrance with a very nice adobe floor, overlooking both the staircase of the tower and the living room of the house. This is extended by a small recent stone extension containing sanitary facilities (bathroom and WC).
The tower obviously has many specific architectural elements, witnesses of its long history and its evolution over time.
The old medieval castrum in which the property is located, dominating the surroundings, is a setting offering a superb view of the village, the Dordogne valley and the nearby countryside.
This property, a family holiday home for more than 40 years, could undoubtedly be suitable for various projects (artist's residence, unusual tourist accommodation, second or main residence...), with certain modernisation and development work that respects its authenticity.
Certainly a unique place to discover, for lovers of history and architecture!'
