Private Property Sales In South West France
from: ...Tip! Be aware of cowboy vendors – they do exist. For example, property agencies with stalls set up at airports or someone who comes up to you in a bar would need to be treated with extreme caution.
A fine example of private vendors using the marketing services of Seymour-James is the owner of an historic chateau in the Dordogne - not far from Bordeaux.
Beautiful Chateau de Maravau sits on an old Gallo-Roman site of 3 acres and it is
from here that the Knights Templar constructed a ‘Lookout Tower' in the late 12th
Century. This tower was used for early warning of impending attacks and still stands
magnificently today as part of the chateau. Within the grounds of the chateau,
stands another house, ‘la Maison du Chevalier' also linked to the Templars. The
Knights lived here and would have received pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land.
Tip! Identify investment syndicates with quality property in a good location with potential for capital growth. Ask for a copy of any independent investment and ratings reports.
Of note, la Maison Du Chevalier has a vaulted cellar and is typical of Templar
construction. At one time an underground passageway also connected the local
churchyard to this cellar. The cellar was almost certainly used later during the
‘Hundred Years War' in the 14/15th Century between the English and French and
throughout the Wars of Religion during the 16th Century by those fleeing
imprisonment or worse.

A legend has been passed down concerning the tunnel as it is supposed to have
branched off at one time near the churchyard. The story goes that a treasure is
buried somewhere along it. It is impossible to say whether a treasure indeed exists
or ever existed but the chateau's owner believes it is worthy of further investigation.
