A partly restored 18th-century dwelling and 16th-century lodge surrounding their courtyard, set in grounds of around 4 ha with swimming pool, spring and stream in Lot-et-Garonne. The property forms a group of buildings including a rectangular manor house centred on its inner courtyard, surrounded by grounds of approx. 4 ha comprising mixed woodland, meadows and a small valley, and featuring a renowned spring. Beyond the boundaries of the estate, the surroundings might seem rather unattractive to some - given the presence of greenhouses and farm buildings. However, these structures are forgotten as soon as you follow a long driveway lined with majestic umbrella pines and enter the heart of the property. Built over the course of several centuries, the dwelling is made up of a number of different sections and interconnected inside and out. The dressed stone building is predominantly one storey high, with one section comprising two upper floors above a garden level. It includes an 18th century main building, a 16th century lodge and a former winery, following on from one another harmoniously.

In addition, a new micro wastewater treatment plant, a drainage system around the buildings, a new mains drinking water supply and electrical wiring up to the entrance to the property have been installed.

EXPERTIMO est le leader français des réseaux dédiés aux mandataires expérimentés

Dating back to 1547, the Château has grown over the centuries according to the needs of the families who have had the joy of living here. Situated up on high, in a peaceful haven, the chateau looks down over neatly lawned gardens and woodland. Flanking the building from the rear is a prehistoric rockface; a feature of the landscape since time immemorial when dinosaurs roamed the land. The Chateau faces south, where between the branches of the trees and across the valley, modern life beckons from afar, with the distant outline of AGEN etched onto the horizon. This juxtaposition of bucolic splendour coupled with the proximity of city life creates much of the inherent magic of this property. The gardens, and landscape immediately around the property have conspired for centuries to provide an utterly idyllic and bucolic retreat from the world with the promise of urban life across the valley. It takes a moment to adjust one’s thoughts to the fact that the shops, cinemas, theatres, and schools of Agen are a short drive away. In layman’s terms, one can pop out and seek a baguette or bottle of wine in almost the same amount of time as it might take to walk to the tower at the far end of the garden and back again. The position, is in a word magnificent. Magnificent and unexpected. The word château can often be misleading. If “Chateau” conjures images of medieval drafts, and chill stone floors, then rest assured that none of the grace and beauty associated with a chateau has been sacrificed in the name of comfort, and yet this property is decidedly “comfortable”, modern and in full working order. For home-seekers who dream of living in aesthetically pleasing historical buildings you will not be disappointed. None of the restorations carried out have removed an iota of the château’s charm. A walk in the grounds throws up delightful views of this architectural beauty from every angle. In the grounds of the château it is easy to take a sumptuous photograph, because from every angle; be it in the garden, the pool, the chapel or the tower, the Château has a grace and elegance which is entirely photogenic. From the outside it is impossible to imagine the level of comfort within. Inside is a very different story. Stone walls, high ceilings, and characterful fireplaces can be found. But you will also find five star comfort and modernity. Look no further than the C grade rating on the energy efficiency scale. In part due to the thick walls, but also due to the current owners love of houses that “work” and where the management of a substantial building such as this one might be made as easy possible. Restored throughout the property was used as a luxury family home with chambres d’hôtes since 2011, ceasing its very successful business just a couple of years ago.

For sale, a wonderful property, beautifully renovated to an extremely high standard. The property consists of a seven-bedroom Chateau, three gites with two bedrooms each and a one bed pigeonier. Perfectly situated, in five hectares of land, the property offers tranquillity and privacy with stunning panoramic views. Currently run as a holiday home for the owners as well as a luxury holiday rental destination, it is perfectly set up to continue to be as such. There is more than enough space for guests and family, it could also easily be a destination for retreats, large parties, events, or weddings. There are four private terraces, three swimming pools, a small lake and a multitude of quiet corners offering a fabulous sense of serenity. The Chateau is stand alone from the other buildings on the property. It was originally built for the Bishop of Agen as his summer residence in the 1700s. As such there is a certain grandeur to it, with wooden floorboards and stone floors throughout. The ground floor has an impressive entrance hall that has a games room to one side and an opulent sitting room to the other side. Behind, there is a flagstone floor hallway with a magnificent stone staircase leading upstairs. At the rear of the Chateau is an expansive open plan living area with dining and seating area with the kitchen under a handsome stone arch overlooking and leading to the main pool area. The rest of the floor consists of a sizeable study and library with an open fireplace as well as a big utility and laundry room and huge cellar. There are two staircases to the bedrooms upstairs, one from the main hallway in the centre of the property and the other from the utility room. The accommodation is spacious with seven large double bedrooms, five of which have their own en-suite bathrooms. With high ceilings and generous, tall windows, there is an enormous amount of natural light and a calming sense of warmth throughout. Outside is a substantial, partially terraced courtyard area surrounding the main swimming pool (12m by 6m). On the far side is an old tobacco drying barn that is used as an outside games area with table tennis table, or as a shady spot to relax by the swimming pool. On the other side of the courtyard are three of the gites as well as a gym, equipped with its own shower room. The gites have two pools and terraces to share between them, both of which are separate and private. Two of the gites have a connecting door that can be utilised if desired to transform into one for larger parties of guests. The fourth gite is a one-bedroom pigeonier set apart from the other buildings and has its own private terrace, overlooking the beautiful local scenery. The property is well positioned being close to numerous pretty bastide towns with their restaurants, bars, and local markets. It is also only a little over 30 minutes’ drive from Bergerac and its International airport and under 2 hours from the larger city of Bordeaux. This is a truly exceptional and luxurious property that has a vast amount of history, charm and elegance.
