Constructed in the 15th century and redesigned in the 17th this sumptuous château was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance. In the North of the Gers it is located a short drive away from the popular market towns of Lectoure, Fleurance and St Clar. Situated in a quiet location, down a tranquil country lane, and far from the main road, the property offers over 7 hectares of glorious parkland and an abundance of trees. The property is entirely private being both hedged and gated, with a small stream bordering the land at the bottom. The main body of the château comprises eight bedrooms, and a vast main reception/dining-room, and first floor library/reception-room. With a separate guest house. The flamboyant Italian-style first floor “loggia” – with its covered terrace and arcades overlooking the tranquil gardens is an absolute delight. With a paved pool area, 2 dovecotes, and a vast 170m2 hangar the garden is full of interest with a vast array of mature trees, roses and bushes and an orchard. This property provides a peaceful sanctuary from the world, in a location that is unique, being utterly private, and yet in the located heart of one of the most sought-after areas of SW France. Let’s look in more detail … The local area, the parkland, gardens, and outbuildings The drive by car to the property is as pleasant one. With easy access to the local market towns of Lectoure and Fleurance the property is tranquil yet easily accessible. The TGV line to Paris in Agen is under an hour away, and Toulouse international airport, just over an hour. As we leave the market towns behind, the countryside is rich and peaceful, with small country lanes cutting through emerald, green fields, where in the summer crops of sunflowers or wheat grow in an area fondly known as French Tuscany. If Gascony is the Tuscany of France, then this property offers all the joys of Renaissance Italy. Designed in pure Italian style, the property was built by a rich noble family in the 15th century. From the outside very little can be seen, as a thick natural hedge encircles the perimeter of the land. The entrance to the property is enclosed by two fine wrought-iron gates, both of which are in perfect keeping with the château and marking the entrance in style. The château is located at the end of a quiet lane that opens out onto fields, so one is not troubled by any passing traffic. The occasional hare or deer, perhaps. We enter from the side gate to the main entrance, with a view of a splendid pigeonnier or dovecote to our right. The pool nestles beside the first of the two dovecotes and is sheltered by rose-covered walls. There is a water-well with a decorative wrought iron frame on the top. Always ideal to have a source of water on the land, to keep the lovely gardens fresh and green; not forgetting the small river that runs along the bottom field. There are over seven hectares of land in total, ensuring utmost tranquility for anyone residing here. Of those seven hectares the land around the gardens, and the guest house, comprises an orchard (to the front of the guest house) neatly mown lawns, and mature trees. There is an ornamental row of topiary, and a small river at the bottom of the land. The gardens feel rich and bucolic. In an area known for its scorching hot summers, there is a freshness to the parkland, shaded by ancient boughs of the trees. The ambience here is one of lush greenery. As we turn around the chateau to the rear gardens, we catch our first glimpse of the fantastic loggia, a covered terrace with arches running the full length of the property which is purely Italian Renaissance in style; joyous and romantic with its impressive corner pavillions. The main master bedroom opens onto the loggia, offering a morning view over the gardens; a sure promise that one’s day will begin on a note of beauty and tranquility. The Chateau has a joie de vivre which one might not expect from a Medieval building. It is warm and welcoming from the outside with its mellow golden walls catching the last of the autumn sunshine. Let’s open the grand entrance door, and step inside… The main entrance to the chateau is paved in stone with a wooden staircase to the first floor. As one would expect the entrance is formal and is divided into two distinct sections with the original wooden front door at the entrance, and at the end of the hallway a second door, with the intelligent addition of a glass door that allows the light to flood into the hallway, in a way which is not traditionally medieval but certainly delightful for modern living, where one’s instinct is to let the sunshine in, and to keep the warmth inside. From the central hallway, we take a brief look at a large room which has not been restored for any other purpose than storage, but with a large opening at the far end, in a room which is interesting in so far as it is of similar size to the main reception room, and certainly offers possibilities for further development of the property’s habitable area, planning permissions permitting. The main reception/dining-room is a fantastic space for entertainment. With its quirky vaults the room is divided into two distinct sections. The first part of the room (from the central hallway) has a lovely stone fireplace where the family gather. The perfect place for a winter or Christmas gathering. The second part of the room is used as a dining-area. There are large windows to the gardens in both the reception and dining areas. At the far end of the room, a doorway leads into a tower area, with a pleasantly Medieval feel to it, where there is a downstairs cloakroom and lavatory. The kitchen sits a little way apart from the dining-room, for ease, and has recently been completely refurbished. This is a warm and inviting room, with ample space for a breakfast table, and tasteful modern units. From the kitchen a doorway opens onto the loggia. This utterly charming terrace offers views onto the gardens from between the arches and is a delightful place to sit in the shade on a scorching hot summer’s day. Upstairs There are two wings to the first floor, set from a central staircase. Two of the bathrooms are built into the quirky corner pavilion towers. The master bedroom and the study both open onto the charming loggia. From the master bedroom you can steal a view of the morning from between the arcades of the first-floor loggia, take coffee outside on a warm private terrace area, or fall back to sleep watching the light muslin curtains flutter between the arches. This is a room in which the imagination can take flight! Also on the first floor, there is a deliciously private library, which is provides a tranquil retreat from the downstairs reception-rooms. With its rows of bookshelves, and cinema area, this is a lovely private room, where the owners can escape when the house is full of guests. One of the upstairs bedrooms is currently used as a private study but could also be used as an extra bedroom. With a total of eight bedrooms and four bathrooms on the two upstairs wings of the house, we note that each room is blessed with high volumes, tall windows, far-reaching views and many period features which have been preserved. The current owners have carried out an extensive scheme of works since they first moved in, and a vast majority of all the rooms have been recently redecorated or refurbished. The kitchen is brand new. The oil fuel boiler has just been replaced and we have noted the clever installation of the thick glass doors on the lower level that ensure the spacious ground-floor living area is snug throughout the winter months. This property is now welcoming throughout all four seasons and is in an excellent state of repair. The gardens are also immaculate and must work has been carried out to regain parts of the plot that had become overgrown. The Guest House With two bedrooms, a central reception room/kitchen and bathroom, the guest house is set well apart from the house, by the orchard, and is a decided advantage to this property either for lettings or for family and friends. Safe & Secure The property is equipped with an alarm linked to a video surveillance system which detects all movement in the property.

A 15th-century, remarkably restored chateau and its outbuildings on 5-hectare grounds, near a former Episcopal city, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in the Gers department. The 5-hectare property is accessible via a small country road that weaves its way through fields, vineyards and copses. Two gravel drives then provide access to the property, which is sheltered from view thanks to the vegetation hiding it from the road. On grounds planted with many veteran trees, the buildings are situated around a square courtyard at the top of the hill, which provides unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. The property, facing south and the Pyrenees Mountains, overlooks a bucolic valley traversed by a peaceful river. To the southwest of the main dwelling, a swimming pool stretches out below a 160-m² patio, safeguarded by stone balusters, while a double staircase descends towards the vast lawns. Rectangular in shape, the chateau has two floors as well as a basement level and convertible attic space. Cadenced by many tall arched windows, which bathe the interior in light, the chateau’s façades are a testament to the more recent refurbishments that the former 13th-century manor, destroyed during the war against the English, has undergone. The buildings and their roofs, which intermesh with one another in order to form a quadrilateral, are made out of lime-pointed rubble stone and highlighted by a double row of genoise corbels, while the house’s wide stone front steps, which frame the double-door entrance, the tall carriage door opening onto the former court of honour to the north, as well as the former keep, today topped with slender finials, recall the attention and care paid to the major constructions undertaken by lords and barons from this time period, which in this case were Armadon de Montesquieu, followed by the barons de la Sudrie. In addition, its joinery and shutters painted in an elegant grey-green emphasise the aesthetic unity of the premises and confer the property with an undeniable charm.

1H from Toulouse, Renaissance chateau entirely renovated on 4H63 of land with a lake. Open views. - Parts of this impressive Chateau dating back to the medieval period and were most predominantly used by the monks from the nearby Cistercian Abbaye de Planselve. With high ceilings and large windows to illuminate even on the gloomiest day, the property is a glowing representation of its impressive past. Made from the white stone, typical of this region, it has been carefully and lovingly restored.

This sumptuous château is found in the heart of Gascony, in the rich and diverse Armagnac region, at an equal distance between Bordeaux and Toulouse (1h45). On the home lands of d ’Artagnan, the estate sits in an elevated position with far-reaching views across the valley. Surrounded by fields bursting with an ever-changing tapestry of colour in the summer months, from the vibrant yellows of the sunflowers, to the neat rows of green vines, the property is situated just a few minutes distance from the picturesque village of Montréal (one of our favourite villages in the Gers) and just a ten minute drive to the larger town of Condom, with its many shops and restaurants. This region is one of the most highly sought-after in Gascony, with visitors driving out here from Lectoure and Condom, Bordeau or Toulouse throughout the year. This is an area world-famous for its music festivals (Condom and its traditional Bandas festival, or Marciac for its renowned jazz festival in the world). Long hot summer evenings are brought to life by colourful night-markets, and many other events throughout the year which ensure that this is a lively area in which to live throughout the winter months as well as the lovely long hot summers. The château is located on the edge of a small hamlet, and sits in private parkland. On arrival, we follow the beautiful stone walls of the gardens, the original ramparts of the château which border the property and can be seen from afar. A traditional wrought- iron gate between two stone pillars marks the entrance. From here onwards, as we enter through the gate, one has an immediate sense of magic as we enter the grounds. A private alley cuts through a line of elegant trees. We pass the guardian’s house, and two cottages, reaching a private driveway at the top where we catch our first glimpse of the Chateau. To the side and the rear of the Château a vast 12ha stretch of land flanks the estate. The parkland itself is filled with a rich variety of mature trees. To each side the fields and pasture is currently tended to by a local farmer. Visible even from up above at the Château one can clearly see a young vineyard, below, planted by the current owners. On an architectural note… The château dates back to the second half of the 19th century, and was once home to a religious order set up by the Pères Prémontrés. The property is built in the shape of an “L” with beautiful golden coloured stone walls and Parisan style persiennes shutters painted in muted tones of elegant grey. Sunshine dapples the walls from the south, the east and the west. There are roses and many varieties of shrubs everywhere you look. The property comprises two main wings, linked on the ground floor, the basement and the first floor. The main house has been lovingly restored by its current owner who is an interior designer. The renovated wing is the southern wing blessed by a beautiful flow of light from the south, north and west it bathes the rooms with natural light throughout the day from its tall windows. The property has undergone a tremendous programme of works supervised by an architect an expert in historical buildings, but as we shall see in more detail later, this property has the advantage of comprising a second as yet non-restored wing : the western wing. The additional Western wing, once restored would lend itself perfectly to parties (a large party room), weddings, or summer lettings. The Southern Wing The entrance A small flight of stone stairs on the northern side separates a courtyard from the majestic entrance, with its turning staircase and doorway onto a beautiful courtyard on the southern side. This south-facing courtyard is graced with a burst of pink blossom from its trees in spring. A long hallway on the northern side leads to the kitchen, a drawing-room and a laundry-room. On the other side there is a second reception room and the guest cloakroom and WC. The ceilings are high and the floors lain with stone tiles. The elegant, sculpted cast-iron radiators throw out additional heat, in addition to the under-floor heating in the entrance hall. The lighting system at the château is particularly well designed, and the property is a delight to visit in the evenings, when on arrival the lights twinkle as they might from The Great Gatsby’s home. The perfect backdrop for a summer party. Reception Room 1 : As with every room in the château the ceilings are high and the tall windows allow one a sweeping view over the valley and across the Gascon countryside. A stone fireplace and double doors divide the first reception room from the kitchen, both rooms are lain with the same stone floor tiles. Reception Room 2 : With a warm and inviting interior this room is a perfect evening room and has the same lovely views, and also a stone fireplace. Cloakroom & Guest WC At the far end of the entrance hall, discreetly positioned behind a carefully designed cloakroom wall we find the spacious guest lavatory and washbasin. The kitchen, Rear kitchen, Laundry-Room It would be more apt to say that the kitchen is yet another grand reception room. Warm and inviting, majestic in size with a long table to welcome guests or for breakfast with views across the valley, this kitchen is the heart of the property and spacious enough to host a large gathering. French doors open on the garden on the western side, where guests can dine under the plane trees and look over the fabulous stone ramparts and balustrades to the stunning views across the valley. Guests are provided with a backdrop view of the medieval ruins of the original château, and the pigeonnier or dovecote. A grand central island with spacious work surface place for big bowls of food prepared on the AGA. The rear kitchen/ scullery is also directly accessible from the garden and the main kitchen and is equipped with a traditional oven. This is an ideal space to be used by caterers serving food in the garden or interior. In the hallway on the other side of the kitchen a door with a beautiful sculptured wooden surround opens onto the laundry room. The First Floor : Bedrooms Opposite the courtyard entrance an impressive stone staircase turns upwards to the first floor, leading to a spacious landing and a second long hallway that runs above the ground floor hallway. All the bedrooms have parquet flooring. At the top of the landing to the right, two bedroom with ensuite shoer rooms and fitted wardrobes with decorative doors from old French armoirs. To the left of the landing there is a third ensuite bathroom with views to the south, and a long hallway leading to a vast parental suite which is one of the most spacious bedrooms and bathrooms we have yet to see in Gascony. The master bedroom suite comprises a vast bedroom with five tall windows, a double dressing room and a bathroom with a double sink, shower and oval bathtub. The Western Wing At the far end of the downstairs entrance hall, close to the entrance to the kitchen, a set of double doors opens onto the western wing comprising two floors with around 400m2 space for further development with planning permission. The Western wing comprises a hallway leading to a staircase to the first floor. On the ground floor there is a large reception room with grand openings to the park, and with views of the Medieval ruin. The family has hosted weddings at the property and this is a perfect room in which to dance and party, opening onto the park, the lovely views of the ramparts, the medieval chateau, and the folly at the end of the garden.

It is a countryside dotted with quaint villages, vineyards, and varied crops. A small road climbs through fields and leads us to a sleepy village. Here, in this peaceful countryside, not far from a lake, emerge the ruins of a 13th-century castle, preserved in a glass case. These ruins, part of the old village castle, were restored by an architect who fell in love with the place over 10 years ago. Today, it is a loft and one of the most unusual properties we offer. Past the gate, we find ourselves in the garden, a completely enclosed 837m2 plot. To our left, the impressive façade majestically blending stone and glass, and to our right, the guest house. A terrace, lawn, and a cooling pool with a view to the west and its wooded horizon separate these two buildings. Inside the Loft Castle The ground floor, like the entire space, is bathed in light. The Italian stone flooring reflects the modern elements surrounding us. A spacious entrance with a wooden door on the right opens to the former dungeon of the castle, now a much more welcoming place as it serves as the wine cellar. Your Côtes de Gascogne (the regional appellation) or other prestigious bottles will find an ideal and chic storage place here. On our left, a white lacquered designer cabinet contains technical elements. Taking a few steps, we pass through a stone curtain and find ourselves in the heart of the loft. An open space 8 meters high, the first floor overlooks us. Small stone niches and mullioned windows let light flood the entire loft. A white spiral staircase with a light and elegant metal structure leads us upstairs, revealing an office space and a beautiful stone vault behind it. Immediately to the left, a door conceals wall-mounted toilets with indirect lighting, giving this often banal place a very elegant look. Returning to the center, an incredible living space welcomes us. We could sit on one of the black leather sofas, as if in a museum, and contemplate our surroundings: red, black, and white furniture transports us to a universe that could be Mondrian's. A large red lacquered five-door cabinet separates the living area from the kitchen. Made to measure by a local craftsman, it houses practical and aesthetic storage on both sides. Behind it, the black and white equipped kitchen also offers plenty of storage. The refrigerator: two large built-in stainless steel doors, steam oven, and stainless steel hood, all pure and sleek lines. Nothing disrupts our visual field; we remain in an artistic ambiance. You can cook under the light of a high stone window facing south. Don't fear the summer heat; the thick walls act as natural air conditioning, and the property is equipped with a heat pump providing both air conditioning and central and underfloor heating. The TV lounge is located opposite the kitchen. The architect and owner took care to structure this space by placing a large white lacquered cube, thus separating the two zones. This trick shelters a laundry room equipped with a washing machine, dryer, sink, and shelves. One of the electrical panels is also found here. At the center, hidden in the white cube, an Italian shower, practical for those who wish to set up a bedroom on the ground floor instead of the existing TV lounge. The First Floor, a U-shaped Mezzanine, Also Bathed in Light After taking the stairs, immediately to the right, a space currently used as a studio by the current owner, who, as you guessed, also has artistic talents. Then, access to a small stone terrace where the air/water heat pump is hidden. In front of us, protected by glass, the old medieval latrines. Turning left, we admire along the entire length, this 13th-century stone wall with the old castle's watchtower on its right. Today, it houses a modern white and red bathroom illuminated by three openings. We walk along this stone wall, wide enough to accommodate a huge red lacquered buffet, to arrive at what is now the sleeping area. In harmony with the ground floor, white lacquered cubes structure and delimit the spaces: the bedroom is open-plan, with a large Italian shower. The sinks naturally found their place in stone niches. THE GUEST HOUSE – ABOUT 114 m² Ideal for hosting friends or family. It can also serve as a guesthouse for those considering a small tourist activity. It has retained its exposed beams and stones, giving it the charm of the typical country houses one imagines and hopes to find in the southwest of France. On the ground floor, an equipped kitchen, a shower room, and the dining room, living room with a beautiful fireplace inviting relaxation and reading by the fire. All rooms benefit from double exposure and therefore beautiful brightness. French doors from the living room provide direct access to the garden. Upstairs, we arrive at a large landing with a transparent floor, overlooking the living room. Three bedrooms and an L-shaped balcony to enjoy the sun, the garden view, and the village square. The Garden and Terrace Of ideal size for low maintenance but allowing enjoyment of the outdoors. One can easily imagine having a cocktail with feet in the cooling pool and continuing with a Gascon meal on the beautiful terrace. A barbecue area to prepare duck skewers. A lean-to attached to the guest house to shelter tools and all the necessary gardening equipment. There is a well dating from 1673 equipped with a pump to water the entire garden.

A chateau, redesigned in the 18th century, with large annexes, a 1,200m² floor area and 14 hectares of grounds with a moat in France’s Gers department, 100 kilometres from Toulouse. You reach the 14-hectare property from a country road that edges its west side. A low stone wall protects a front section of the grounds where many outhouses stand. A shady path lined with towering horse chestnuts crosses a grassy expanse and leads up to the chateau’s main entrance. On the south side, a long separate building made of rubble stone demarcates this front section and marks the edge of the property. Storehouses lie at the sides of the grounds. These structures have been partly renovated to become a caretaker’s lodge and a workshop space, but much of the roofing on them needs to be restored. On the north side of the grounds, a small house with a dovecote and walls of repointed exposed stonework stands among farming annexes that include vast barns and other buildings. On the east side of this front section, a two-storey building with a tiled roof separates the old farm complex from the chateau, giving the latter complete privacy and calm. The chateau lies beyond a tall wrought-iron gate that stands in a covered carriage entrance. The edifice dates back to the Middle Ages and the time when the lords of Armagnac reigned here. It was built in the centre of its grounds, surrounded by a gravel terrace. A chapel protrudes at a right angle to the main section at the chateau’s east end. And a wing of annexes with a covered carriage entrance extends at the edifice’s west end. This wing is flanked with an adjoining tower crowned with a windmill. A remarkable mechanism in this section brought running water to the property at the end of the 19th century. The mechanism was invented by Élie Coulange, the property’s owner at the time. An ornamental pond and stone pedestals supporting bronze vestals echo the typically 18th-century traits of the chateau’s south and east walls. These statues were ordered by the famous countess Marie-Jacqueline de Biran d'Armagnac. Beyond the ornamental garden, and hidden behind a hedge, lies a swimming pool with a clear view of the surrounding countryside. The grounds are as majestic as the edifice: the vast plot is punctuated with wells, water-filled moats and a wide range of age-old trees, including cedars that line a long path.
