Why this property will seduce you
- Secluded Private Access: Discreet country lane entrance preserving privacy.
- Unique Renaissance Loggia: Stunning six-arcade loggia, an iconic outdoor living space.
- Independent Guest House: Annex providing flexibility for entertaining or activities.
Originally constructed in the 15th century and subsequently remodelled under the influence of the Italian Renaissance, the property has retained a compelling architectural balance between its medieval origins and the elegance introduced in later centuries. Defensive features remain clearly visible, yet these are softened by more generous openings, refined proportions and, above all, the exceptional first-floor loggia overlooking the gardens.
Hidden from view behind mature hedging and entered through handsome wrought-iron gates, the château sits within more than seven hectares of established parkland. The grounds are beautifully varied, with sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees, an orchard, topiary, roses and informal planting. A small river borders the lower part of the estate, enhancing the sense of seclusion and creating a particularly peaceful natural setting.
One of the most distinctive features of the château is the long Italianate loggia extending across the rear elevation. Framed by elegant arches and overlooking the park, it forms a generous covered terrace and creates a wonderful connection between the principal rooms and the landscape beyond. The main bedroom opens directly onto this space, allowing uninterrupted views across the gardens.
The interiors are equally impressive in scale. The principal accommodation includes eight bedrooms, a substantial reception and dining room, and a first-floor library or secondary sitting room. Period details remain throughout, while the generous proportions give the house a sense of grandeur without making it feel formal or austere.
The entrance hall sets the tone immediately, with stone flooring, an original wooden door and a staircase rising to the upper floor. Light has been introduced carefully, making the interior more comfortable for modern living while respecting the character of the building.
There are also areas offering scope for further development, including a large room currently used for storage which could be adapted to suit the requirements of future owners.
The wider estate includes a completely independent guest house, two historic dovecotes, a substantial 170 m² hangar and an old well. The swimming pool is discreetly positioned beside one of the dovecotes and enclosed by stone walls and mature planting, creating an intimate and sheltered outdoor space.
Despite its privacy, the property remains conveniently placed. Lectoure, Fleurance and Saint-Clar are all within easy reach, while Agen and its TGV connections to Paris can be reached in under an hour. Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport is just over an hour away by car.
This is a rare property in which architecture, history and landscape come together with unusual harmony. Imposing yet inviting, private yet accessible, the château offers both the presence of an important historic residence and the understated comfort of a house designed to be lived in.
