A rare opportunity has come to market in the picturesque village of Champagne-et-Fontaine, located in the northern Dordogne.  A former 11th-century stone priory — steeped in history and brimming with potential — is now offered for sale at €318,000 (HAI), exclusively through Leggett International Real Estate.

Set on over one hectare of land, the priory stands as a commanding stone structure.  Inside, it features six principal rooms, including four bedrooms, a large reception area, and an original library. Historical elements are present throughout: hand-carved wooden panelling, gothic doors, traditional stone fireplaces, and even a rare "leper room" a separate chamber with its own entrance and hearth, believed to have served as a quarantine space in medieval times.

Though habitable, the property presents an exciting renovation project. Much of the original charm remains intact, offering buyers the chance to restore a significant piece of French heritage while adapting it to modern comfort. Structurally sound and rich in detail, the priory is ideal for those looking to create a family residence, holiday retreat, artist's compound, or boutique hospitality business.

Champagne-et-Fontaine is a peaceful rural commune known for its rolling fields, historic buildings, and authentic village charm. The area sits within easy reach of Ribérac and Villebois-Lavalette, with Angoulême — and its high-speed TGV connections to Paris — just a 30-minute drive away.
