castles for sale Aquitaine, France (page 8)

Part of a 13th and 16th century listed castle with its 2 5 ha of grounds bordering the river in north-east Lot-et-Garonne. The discreet, almost mysterious residence is hidden behind tall trees, barely visible from the main road. The tarmac drive becomes a stony track as it winds its way between rows of trees. After passing a pond and a bamboo hedge on the right, followed by the first evidence of the property in the form of two impressive stone pillars, the main driveway leads to two wrought-iron pillars supporting lanterns and to the dwelling. A few well-arranged flagstones guide visitors towards the entrance. The three-storey castle is set between oak trees and a chestnut tree right beside the building. To the east, the meadow bordering the garden provides some distance from the few neighbouring houses. To the west, a high stone wall with its back to the entrance emphasises the other adjoining part of the castle. On the south side, a meadow stretches as far as the banks of the river Lot below.
