castles for sale Nérac, France

WHERE ARE WE? In Lot-et-Garonne, 20 kilometers from Nérac, but very close to Gers and its rolling landscapes since we are only 13 kilometers from Condom. 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 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.

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.

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.

A grand 18th-century country house with six hectares of grounds, nestled in the River Garonne valley near the town of Agen in south-west France. The edifice stands in a commanding position on a hillside, looking out over a plain and down at a vast two-level terrace. The property is isolated, yet not far from the local village. The grounds cover around six hectares and are dotted with age-old trees. You reach the property via a shady lane that runs up to it from a country road. A vaulted carriage entrance with paving leads into a square court where, on one side, you can admire the house’s south-facing facade with its refined, symmetrical design that is typical of the 18th century and, on the other side, reach the outbuildings. Opposite, another carriage entrance leads to a swimming pool and woodland paths. The main building is rectangular and has two floors. It is crowned with a hipped roof of red barrel tiles that is underlined with a sculpted cornice. The roofs of the outbuildings are capped with gable roofs that are underlined with double-row génoise cornices. All the elevations are made of rubble stone, rendered with an old coating of sand and lime that has been smoothened by the passage of time. Some of the walls are adorned with climbing plants that add a pleasant touch of greenery. In the middle of the north-facing elevation, a symmetrical double flight of steps with a stone balustrade leads down to a vast grassy terrace that looks out over the valley of the River Garonne.

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. They are arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a central well, which is accessed from the outside via a porch. While the residence has undergone many alterations since at least the 16th century, it has recently been partially restored to continue its long history. All the buildings have been re-roofed: the 18th-century dwelling with slate and monk-and-nun tiles, the 16th-century pavilion with flat tiles and the winery with monk-and-nun tiles. 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. Finally, the surrounding area has also been cleaned up.
