280 Castles for sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

France's largest region by area covers the Dordogne's dense concentration of medieval fortresses, the Bordeaux wine country and the Atlantic coast down to the Basque border. The Dordogne in particular has one of the highest castle-per-hectare counts anywhere in France, a legacy of its position on the frontier during the Hundred Years' War.

The sheer number of properties on the market here keeps prices comparatively accessible for the region's historical density, though buyers should expect real variation in condition between the well-restored chateaux near tourist routes and the more remote fortified farmhouses further from the Dordogne valley itself.
