Creysse, Midi-Pyrénées 46600

Sole agent: 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 adjoining old seigniorial dwelling. The whole offers about 250m.The tower consists of a very pretty semi-circular vaulted cellar, topped by 3 living levels of about 65m 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 45m 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 300m, 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 10m, 15m and 16.5m, served by an entrance with a very nice adobe floor, opening towards 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 toilet).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!Property not subject to Dpe. Information on the risks to which he is exposed is available on the Gorisques website.Sarrazac Immobilier, real estate agency in the Causse de Martel specialising in old stone houses of character in the Lot, Corrze and Dordogne, offers you this house for sale.
