A 15th century, Seigneurial home in almost 8 5 ha, given over to leisure and horses, between the Lot Valley and the Guyenne hills. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, this residential property is composed of several buildings, converted for accommodation and leisure purposes. It is set in grounds, spanning more than 8 continuous hectares, including woods, meadows and even a pond, much appreciated by passing ducks. The origins of this old Seigneury, belonging to a local count, date back to the 15th century. Around 1650, two wings were adjoined to the main rectangular building, creating a U-shape around a main courtyard. Nowadays, a low stone wall, vestige of the east wing, still supports the boxwood parterre which shields the swimming pool and its swimmers from onlookers in the courtyard. Adjoining, a dovecote tower with a stone stairway - certainly the old, monumental stairway - going up to the first floor, no doubt once home to the wing’s Great Room. It is followed by a farm outbuilding which, built at the latest in the early 19th century, houses a workshop and a guest house, comprising two dwellings. The count’s heirs lived modestly in these premises until 1996, without carrying out a great deal of maintenance works. The property was almost completely restored, with some sections being entirely reconstructed, by the current owners. The access road, ending in a dead end, separates the truffle woods and the horse enclosures. Further on is a tennis court set, on a slightly lower level, between shrubberies and vegetation; then a strip of land laid to lawn marks a last breath of air before starting down the gentle slope towards the entrance at the foot of the buildings.

A 13th-century Gascon chateau, redesigned in the 16th century, in 7 5 hectares of grounds with an orangery and a dovecote, nestled in France's Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This chateau stands like a sentry by its quaint village in a commanding, defensive position from where it looks out over the surrounding slopes. The chateau has defended the valley for more than 700 years. The four-storey dwelling and its two adjoining round towers are the remnants of the original Gascon castle. In the 15th century, mullioned windows were added to let more natural light inside. And an Italian Renaissance stairway tower was added too. The chateau was rescued by a man who was enthusiastic about built heritage. He restored it and showcased the Italian style that characterised the Aquitaine region’s most beautiful houses – a style that we also see in the gardens and the chateau’s main lounge.
