Approached along a quiet country lane in the gently rolling landscape of northern Gascony, this distinguished château enjoys a setting of remarkable privacy and tranquillity. 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.

In the heart of Lomagne, where the hills gently roll beneath the soft light of the South-West, a discreet path winds its way through the fields. At first glance, nothing suggests what awaits at the end of this quiet country road. Then, almost like an apparition, golden stone walls announce the entrance to a truly unique estate. A place steeped in centuries of history, whose earliest foundations date back to the Middle Ages, patiently reshaped over time to acquire its present elegance in the 18th century. Crossing the farm courtyard, one discovers a setting punctuated by agricultural buildings, old barns, and a dovecote still standing watch. Nearby, a renovated caretaker’s house of approximately 100 sqm offers modern comfort, while a vast 145 sqm gym/multi-purpose space reflects a contemporary reinterpretation of the property. Yet it is as one moves further in that the magic truly unfolds. A chestnut tree-lined avenue gently guides the way, acting as a seamless transition between the outside world and a more intimate realm. A porch shelters the entrance to the noble courtyard, carefully guarding the estate’s secrets. Beside it, a tower crowned with a 19th-century wind turbine recalls a time when the property was entirely self-sufficient. Here, the atmosphere shifts entirely. The buildings are arranged in a U-shape, embracing a space that feels almost timeless. A chapel with multicolored stained-glass windows captures the light, scattering it in vibrant hues. Beyond, the eye drifts over rolling countryside, its colors changing with the seasons. A cedar-lined path leads to the woods, inviting quiet walks, while a stone basin and a swimming pool extend this sense of serenity. And at the heart of it all, the château — approximately 1,300 sqm in total, including around 1,000 sqm of living space. Its south-facing façade, characteristic of the 18th century, opens generously to the light, filling the interiors with a constant softness. In contrast, the north façade tells another story: three towers of differing architectural styles, one adorned with gargoyles, stand watch over even older features — mullioned windows, arrow slits, and the remains of the original moats, still filled with water. Every stone seems to carry a memory, every perspective reveals a new surprise. This estate is not merely a property. It is a place of history, character, and emotion — offering a rare canvas for those who can unlock its full potential.

The Gîte Occupying a wing of the château, the independent three-bedroom gîte has been finished to the same exacting standards. The accommodation comprises a spacious open-plan living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen. A striking white staircase leads to three double bedrooms, one of which also incorporates bunk beds suitable for younger children. Each bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities and generous storage. Outside, a private terrace with summer kitchen provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, while the château gardens and swimming pool are just a short stroll away. Bespoke Treehouses Perched high amongst the mature trees, one on either side of the main driveway, are two exceptional custom-built treehouses. Wooden staircases lead to private terraces featuring barbecue facilities, dining and relaxation areas, together with jacuzzi spas enjoying views across the surrounding parkland. Inside, each treehouse provides a comfortable living, dining and kitchen area, a double bedroom and bathroom, with stairs leading to an additional twin bedroom. These unique accommodations offer considerable appeal for luxury holiday rentals. Wine Tasting & Owner's Accommodation A further outbuilding incorporates a dedicated tasting room for the property's own wine production. Behind this is a substantial temperature-controlled wine cellar with extensive racked bottle storage. Adjacent to this building, and overlooking the gardens, is the private owner's accommodation. Reception & Events Space Beyond the swimming pool is a recently constructed open-sided reception building, ideally suited to private events, celebrations and corporate functions. The building benefits from power, toilet facilities and a dedicated service area designed for external caterers and bar facilities. Convenient parking is available immediately adjacent. Grounds & Land The château is surrounded by approximately 12 hectares of beautifully maintained and diverse grounds. Immediately in front of the château, within an enclosed area, is a generous saltwater swimming pool surrounded by artificial grass terraces, providing ample space for sunbathing, entertaining and relaxing in both sun and shade. A short walk from the château leads to approximately five hectares dedicated to truffle cultivation and organically grown Syrah vines, producing the estate's own wine. Further into the grounds is a lake, where the current owner is in the process of creating a small sandy beach area. Adjacent to the western entrance is a field currently being offered as four individual plots, with the potential for the development of carbon-neutral homes, subject to the necessary permissions. The remaining land consists predominantly of magnificent mature parkland, scattered with centuries-old oak, cedar and lime trees. Formal gardens surrounding the château feature carefully selected planting, allowing the beauty and scale of the historic landscape to take centre stage. The property is also conveniently positioned approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from the international airports of Bordeaux and Toulouse.
