Approached via a quiet country lane at the edge of a peaceful village, impressive wrought-iron gates open onto beautifully landscaped grounds. To one side, formal French gardens frame breathtaking panoramic views stretching to the Pyrenees; to the other stands this magnificent château, meticulously restored while preserving its rich architectural heritage.
A substantial oak entrance door opens into a spacious reception hall with cloakroom, guest WC, and an elegant staircase leading to the upper floor. The principal reception rooms have been thoughtfully arranged to provide both grandeur and comfortable everyday living. Large windows flood the interiors with natural light while offering picturesque views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, together with open fireplaces in the reception rooms, creates warmth and comfort year-round.
The ground floor comprises:
* A distinguished library lined with bespoke wooden bookshelves.
* An elegant formal drawing room.
* A cosy sitting room with an open fireplace.
* Separate studies connected by an internal corridor.
* A spacious, fully equipped kitchen and dining room featuring extensive cabinetry, quality appliances, generous work surfaces, and French doors opening onto a large covered terrace ideal for al fresco dining.
* A walk-in pantry, cold room, guest WC, and rear entrance providing access to the family annexe and the informal parkland beyond.
Behind the main garage are a substantial barn, three storage rooms, and a secondary garage with excellent potential for enlargement, subject to the necessary permissions.
First Floor
The main residence offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, some en-suite and others adjacent. Every room has been individually styled to create a distinctive character while maintaining the elegance expected of a château of this calibre.
A door leads through to an exceptional games room, large enough to accommodate a full-sized billiard table, table tennis, gaming area, and comfortable spectator seating. Beyond lies a fully equipped fitness room.
The Medieval Tower
The château's impressive medieval tower occupies a commanding position beside the entrance gates and can also be accessed via the internal courtyard.
The tower spans four levels:
* Ground floor cellar
* Magnificent 100 m² principal reception room with underfloor heating
* Second reception room on the third level
* Unrestored top floor offering exciting development potential
The restoration has been carried out with exceptional care, preserving as many original architectural features as possible while introducing modern comfort.
Self-Contained Annexe
Adjoining the château is an independent residence, ideal as family accommodation, a guardian's house, or a luxury gîte.
The annexe comprises:
* Spacious fitted kitchen with dining area
* Large sitting room
* Guest WC
* Three generous bedrooms
* Three private bathrooms
Like the principal residence, each room has its own distinctive charm.
Outbuildings
Adjacent to the tower is a large garage suitable for two or three vehicles. Owing to its generous height, it offers excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to planning permission.
At the edge of the estate stands the picturesque ruin of a former farmhouse set within approximately half a hectare of land, presenting further opportunities for restoration or redevelopment, subject to the relevant permissions.
Grounds
The beautifully maintained gardens combine formal elegance with relaxed outdoor living.
The château is approached through meticulously designed French gardens with clipped hedges and ornamental planting. At one end, a viewpoint enjoys spectacular uninterrupted vistas across the rolling Gers countryside to the Pyrenees.
Elsewhere, mature trees create private lawns ideal for entertaining or family enjoyment.
Further features include:
* Heated swimming pool with extensive sun terraces
* All-weather tennis court
* Internal courtyard with ornamental fountain, flower beds, and planters
* Numerous shrubs, specimen trees, and colourful seasonal planting throughout the estate
Location
Despite its exceptional privacy, the château is far from isolated.
Situated in the heart of the Gers, five attractive market towns are within easy reach, offering a full range of shops, restaurants, schools, and services. The region is renowned for its vibrant lifestyle, with sporting clubs, cultural events, traditional festivals, and the internationally acclaimed Jazz in Marciac festival.
The Pyrenees can be reached for skiing and hiking within a comfortable day trip, while the Atlantic coast offers surfing and sandy beaches.
For international travel, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport is just over one hour away, providing direct and connecting flights across Europe and beyond. Bordeaux is accessible in just over two hours.
