Concierge Auctions: 15th-Century Château, Domaine de Ballerand, Pending Sale for €1.955M Following Live Hong Kong Sale

Storied Périgord Vert estate spanning 710± acres and six private lakes is pending sale in cooperation with Maxwell Baynes

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Concierge Auctions today announced that Domaine de Ballerand, a 15th-century château estate spanning 710± acres of private forest and farmland surrounded by six lakes in France’s celebrated Périgord Vert, is pending sale for €1.955M after auction marketing. Listed in cooperation with Michael Baynes and Christophe Chassin of Maxwell Baynes, the auction culminated live at Concierge Auctions’ Hong Kong Global Sale, one of the firm’s marquee international auction events.

“Domaine de Ballerand is exactly the kind of property our global platform was built for,” said Chad Roffers, CEO and Co-Founder of Concierge Auctions. “Its history, scale and setting make it truly unique, and presenting the estate live in Hong Kong gave us the opportunity to introduce it to qualified buyers from around the world. We’re pleased to have helped find the right buyer for such a remarkable property.”

“Domaine de Ballerand is an estate unlike anything else on the market in the Périgord Vert,” said Michael Baynes. “From the château and lakes to the scale of the land itself, it offers something incredibly difficult to replicate, even amid the buyer’s market for prime French chateaux. We are thrilled to have found a buyer who recognized just how special this offering is.”

With documented origins dating to 1498 and local connections to the royal hunting grounds of Louis XIV, Domaine de Ballerand represents one of the most historically significant private estates to come to auction in France. The property includes a structurally sound château awaiting full interior customization, a fully renovated main residence, a private helipad, and an unrivaled sporting landscape across more than 700 acres of managed forest and water.

The estate’s 15th-century château is structurally sound with a newer roof and utilities ready for connection, offering its next owner a full canvas for customization. Its grand reception rooms are framed by picture windows overlooking the estate and its lakes. A fully renovated main residence provides seven bedrooms and four bathrooms for immediate occupation, while a two-bedroom mill, three turnkey apartments, and additional outbuildings totaling nearly 28,000 square feet offer extensive potential for guest accommodation, a private gym, a spa, or broader hospitality programming. A private helipad supports use as a corporate retreat or event venue and eases access for guests arriving from across Europe.

The sporting credentials of Domaine de Ballerand are without equal in the region. Six private lakes, including one spanning roughly 21 hectares, provide exceptional fishing, while dedicated grounds accommodate both small and large game hunting and shooting across the estate’s managed woodland. Miles of trails for hiking and cycling connect directly to the regional Flow Vélo cycling route, and the estate’s organic and traditionally managed agricultural land further underscores the breadth of what is offered within a single private holding.

Domaine de Ballerand sits within the Périgord Vert, the northernmost and most densely wooded of the Dordogne’s four historic regions, at a crossing point between Périgueux, Angoulême, and Limoges. Defined by forest, lakes, and small stone villages, the surrounding landscape is built for hunting, fishing, and slow country living at its finest. The Regional Natural Park Périgord-Limousin protects a wide stretch of connected woodland and waterways nearby, while the medieval Château de Montbrun and Brantôme, one of the Dordogne’s most celebrated river villages, are both within easy reach. Limoges International Airport and Périgueux Bassillac Airport are each approximately 45 minutes to one hour from the estate.
