Domaine de Bonnac is an exceptional private estate whose origins date back to the 15th century. Rebuilt on the remains of a former fortified château, the property has known, since the 17th century, only a very limited number of owners, each a careful steward deeply connected to the land, the history of the place, and a way of life rooted in balance with nature. Seldom offered for sale, estates of this caliber form an integral part of the historical and landscape heritage of the Quercy Blanc, a region prized for its authenticity, discretion and long-term preservation. Set on a hillside at approximately 250 meter above sea level, at the gateway to Cahors, the estate enjoys a protected natural environment in an area often referred to as 'Little Tuscany.' Shaped by an ancient seabed, the land is distinguished by limestone soils particularly suited to olive trees, vines, saffron, almond trees, lavender and truffle oaks. In a commanding yet remarkably discreet position, the property reveals itself gradually, sheltered within its natural surroundings. From the moment of arrival, Bonnac conveys a rare atmosphere of peace and timeless coherence, where the built environment and the land exist in perfect harmony. The estate extends over 37 hectares in a single uninterrupted holding, comprising 13 hectares of agricultural land, a 6-hectare landscaped park with orchard, and 18 hectares of woodland, complemented by three natural springs, two ponds, and three agricultural water connections, offering a high degree of autonomy and long-term sustainability. The total built surface area is approximately 1,600 m2, comprising: o 665.25 m2 of existing habitable space, fully usable today o 372.89 m2 of convertible space, offering additional potential This brings the total potential living area to 1,038.14 m2, complemented by an additional 582.74 m2 of fully renovated and immediately operational professional and creative spaces, including studios, offices, workshops and ancillary buildings Over the past five years, Domaine de Bonnac has undergone an exceptional restoration and contemporary transformation, reaching a level of finish and year-round comfort that is almost never found in a historic rural estate. The result is a rare dialogue between heritage and modernity, where the authenticity of the old stone structure has been preserved, yet elevated through highly refined design and craftsmanship. Throughout the main house, original elements such as historic church stone flooring and generous traditional volumes are paired with contemporary materials and techniques, including bespoke micro cement finishes and warm wood floors that invite life in every season. The interiors combine timeless architectural presence with an unmistakably modern standard of living. The kitchen has been entirely custom built, featuring Gaggenau appliances and Dekton countertops, while selected areas of the home are finished in lime wash, lending softness, depth and quiet elegance to the walls. The master suite offers a spa level bathroom of remarkable quality, comparable to the most exclusive resorts. Particular care has been taken to honor traditional craftsmanship, from the staircase, built according to historic methods and proportions, to parquet flooring whose design echoes 17th century patterns. Each space is defined by generous ceiling heights, light, and a rare sense of architectural integrity. Bonnac is not a seasonal residence, but a fully realized estate designed to be lived in comfortably throughout the entire year, offering an exceptional balance of patrimonial presence and contemporary ease. Among its most distinctive features are an artist's studio of approximately 180 m2 and a fully soundproofed professional music studio of approximately 120 m2, incorporating a recording booth and two separate postproduction rooms.
