A restored 16th-century chateau in a walled enclosure nestled in 3 5 hectares of grounds, for sale without usufruct, near a quaint village in France’s Gers department. A quiet country lane runs around 1,800 metres from Sarrant up to an electric gate. The chateau is rather isolated, but a stone building standing at one side suggests that the dwelling is not entirely cut off from the rest of the world. Its calm, bucolic surroundings are free from any possible disturbance. The chateau lies on a rocky plateau overlooking its 3.5 hectares of grounds, which are steep in some areas. These beautiful grounds are made up of woods and enclosed meadows. The edifice enjoys absolute privacy behind the high walls that run around it. The seigneurial dwelling is rectangular. It has a ground floor and two upper floors and it leads out onto a south-facing terrace that offers a panoramic view. A polygonal tower adjoins the edifice. Five of this tower’s sides protrude from the dwelling’s north elevation. On the building’s east side, a lower adjoining outhouse with a first floor extends the main section. A square tower marks the walled enclosure’s south-east corner. Two wings extend from the dwelling at a right angle to it, stretching northwards on either side of the courtyard. A covered terrace lies in the court’s north-west section, adjoining the west wing. It offers a shady poolside space for relaxation near the 24-metre-long lap pool that runs alongside the court’s north wall. All the buildings lie around the courtyard. Two towers mark the north corners of the court, which is enclosed by high walls. A carriage entrance in the east wall forms the main entry into the courtyard and a door on the west side leads to stairs that take you to a car port and a stable. On the south and west sides, the land has been turned into a counterscarp. A hexagonal dovecote built in 1630 stands in a meadow that has been turned into a paddock. Two driveways lead up to the property. One takes you straight to the main entrance and the other one runs around the enclosure’s walls to a parking area and the stable on the west side, at a level lower than the wall.

Constructed in the 15th century and redesigned in the 17th this sumptuous château was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance. In the North of the Gers it is located a short drive away from the popular market towns of Lectoure, Fleurance and St Clar. Situated in a quiet location, down a tranquil country lane, and far from the main road, the property offers over 7 hectares of glorious parkland and an abundance of trees. The property is entirely private being both hedged and gated, with a small stream bordering the land at the bottom. The main body of the château comprises eight bedrooms, and a vast main reception/dining-room, and first floor library/reception-room. With a separate guest house. The flamboyant Italian-style first floor “loggia” – with its covered terrace and arcades overlooking the tranquil gardens is an absolute delight. With a paved pool area, 2 dovecotes, and a vast 170m2 hangar the garden is full of interest with a vast array of mature trees, roses and bushes and an orchard. This property provides a peaceful sanctuary from the world, in a location that is unique, being utterly private, and yet in the located heart of one of the most sought-after areas of SW France. Let’s look in more detail … The local area, the parkland, gardens, and outbuildings The drive by car to the property is as pleasant one. With easy access to the local market towns of Lectoure and Fleurance the property is tranquil yet easily accessible. The TGV line to Paris in Agen is under an hour away, and Toulouse international airport, just over an hour. As we leave the market towns behind, the countryside is rich and peaceful, with small country lanes cutting through emerald, green fields, where in the summer crops of sunflowers or wheat grow in an area fondly known as French Tuscany. If Gascony is the Tuscany of France, then this property offers all the joys of Renaissance Italy. Designed in pure Italian style, the property was built by a rich noble family in the 15th century. From the outside very little can be seen, as a thick natural hedge encircles the perimeter of the land. The entrance to the property is enclosed by two fine wrought-iron gates, both of which are in perfect keeping with the château and marking the entrance in style. The château is located at the end of a quiet lane that opens out onto fields, so one is not troubled by any passing traffic. The occasional hare or deer, perhaps. We enter from the side gate to the main entrance, with a view of a splendid pigeonnier or dovecote to our right. The pool nestles beside the first of the two dovecotes and is sheltered by rose-covered walls. There is a water-well with a decorative wrought iron frame on the top. Always ideal to have a source of water on the land, to keep the lovely gardens fresh and green; not forgetting the small river that runs along the bottom field. There are over seven hectares of land in total, ensuring utmost tranquility for anyone residing here. Of those seven hectares the land around the gardens, and the guest house, comprises an orchard (to the front of the guest house) neatly mown lawns, and mature trees. There is an ornamental row of topiary, and a small river at the bottom of the land. The gardens feel rich and bucolic. In an area known for its scorching hot summers, there is a freshness to the parkland, shaded by ancient boughs of the trees. The ambience here is one of lush greenery. As we turn around the chateau to the rear gardens, we catch our first glimpse of the fantastic loggia, a covered terrace with arches running the full length of the property which is purely Italian Renaissance in style; joyous and romantic with its impressive corner pavillions. The main master bedroom opens onto the loggia, offering a morning view over the gardens; a sure promise that one’s day will begin on a note of beauty and tranquility. The Chateau has a joie de vivre which one might not expect from a Medieval building. It is warm and welcoming from the outside with its mellow golden walls catching the last of the autumn sunshine. Let’s open the grand entrance door, and step inside… The main entrance to the chateau is paved in stone with a wooden staircase to the first floor. As one would expect the entrance is formal and is divided into two distinct sections with the original wooden front door at the entrance, and at the end of the hallway a second door, with the intelligent addition of a glass door that allows the light to flood into the hallway, in a way which is not traditionally medieval but certainly delightful for modern living, where one’s instinct is to let the sunshine in, and to keep the warmth inside. From the central hallway, we take a brief look at a large room which has not been restored for any other purpose than storage, but with a large opening at the far end, in a room which is interesting in so far as it is of similar size to the main reception room, and certainly offers possibilities for further development of the property’s habitable area, planning permissions permitting. The main reception/dining-room is a fantastic space for entertainment. With its quirky vaults the room is divided into two distinct sections. The first part of the room (from the central hallway) has a lovely stone fireplace where the family gather. The perfect place for a winter or Christmas gathering. The second part of the room is used as a dining-area. There are large windows to the gardens in both the reception and dining areas. At the far end of the room, a doorway leads into a tower area, with a pleasantly Medieval feel to it, where there is a downstairs cloakroom and lavatory. The kitchen sits a little way apart from the dining-room, for ease, and has recently been completely refurbished. This is a warm and inviting room, with ample space for a breakfast table, and tasteful modern units. From the kitchen a doorway opens onto the loggia. This utterly charming terrace offers views onto the gardens from between the arches and is a delightful place to sit in the shade on a scorching hot summer’s day. Upstairs There are two wings to the first floor, set from a central staircase. Two of the bathrooms are built into the quirky corner pavilion towers. The master bedroom and the study both open onto the charming loggia. From the master bedroom you can steal a view of the morning from between the arcades of the first-floor loggia, take coffee outside on a warm private terrace area, or fall back to sleep watching the light muslin curtains flutter between the arches. This is a room in which the imagination can take flight! Also on the first floor, there is a deliciously private library, which is provides a tranquil retreat from the downstairs reception-rooms. With its rows of bookshelves, and cinema area, this is a lovely private room, where the owners can escape when the house is full of guests. One of the upstairs bedrooms is currently used as a private study but could also be used as an extra bedroom. With a total of eight bedrooms and four bathrooms on the two upstairs wings of the house, we note that each room is blessed with high volumes, tall windows, far-reaching views and many period features which have been preserved. The current owners have carried out an extensive scheme of works since they first moved in, and a vast majority of all the rooms have been recently redecorated or refurbished. The kitchen is brand new. The oil fuel boiler has just been replaced and we have noted the clever installation of the thick glass doors on the lower level that ensure the spacious ground-floor living area is snug throughout the winter months. This property is now welcoming throughout all four seasons and is in an excellent state of repair. The gardens are also immaculate and must work has been carried out to regain parts of the plot that had become overgrown. The Guest House With two bedrooms, a central reception room/kitchen and bathroom, the guest house is set well apart from the house, by the orchard, and is a decided advantage to this property either for lettings or for family and friends. Safe & Secure The property is equipped with an alarm linked to a video surveillance system which detects all movement in the property.

A listed medieval castle on the outskirts of a Lauragais village, surrounded by 12 hectares of woods and meadows. The impressive fortified building is surrounded by pastures and groves of trees, as well as landscaped parklands created at the end of the 19th century. A large driveway separates the estate from a local road, with outbuildings - a shed, workshop and caretaker's lodging - just a few metres away. To the west of the castle, there remain the converted servants quarters and working buildings, as well as a 17th century dovecote built on piers, situated on the southern slope of the plateau. Both stylistically and structurally, the castle, which should be described as a 'feudal fortified mansion', appears to date from the reign of Charles VIII or Louis XII, although it was built in 1539. It consists of an elongated rectangular main building with two parallel sets of rooms, more than 27m long and 18m wide. Each corner of the main building features round towers with an external diameter of around 7.5 m, enough to cover the facades. They have arrowslits on each level, facing the entrance door and the southern curtain wall. The roof of the central section is clad with flat tiles featuring square or rounded ends. Some of the tiles are fixed with nails. The roofs of the two front towers are clad exclusively with rounded tiles. The roof of the south-west tower has retained its sealed monk-and-nun tile ribs, while the south-east tower, whose timberwork and roof were restored in the early 20th century, now features a conical pepperpot roof. The walls, with their regularly dressed calcareous sandstone, have an average thickness of almost 1.5 metres.

A manor house with its three gîtes and other outbuildings, set in 8 hectares of grounds with a lake, in the Couserans region of Ariège. Hidden by trees more than three hundred years old, the property gradually emerges at the end of a gravel driveway bordered by low stone walls leading from the west to the centre of the estate. Leaving behind the lush foliage, a group of south-facing buildings comes into view. They comprise a manor house in the centre, dating from 1772, two outbuildings to the west - a garage and a small building housing a reception room - and two former farmhouses that have been renovated and converted into gîtes (guest houses) to the east. The monk-and-nun roof tiles unify the complex, while the varying heights of the elevations, sometimes rendered in white and sometimes of exposed stone, create a hierarchy between the different buildings. The manor house is the tallest, rising to three storeys and flanked by a round tower with a cornice of shortened tiles. Its facades have numerous tall windows with dressed stone surrounds, protected by wooden shutters and metal guardrails with floral scrolls. In front of the manor house, there is a semi-circular gravel esplanade with a central rose bed of the same shape, bisected by a central passageway linking a small two-level Baroque-style fountain, topped by a Buddha, to the main entrance door of the residence. The gîtes and other outbuildings are located on either side of the gravel driveway and the manor house, separated from the latter by a U-shaped paved courtyard to the east. Restoration work in these buildings has showcased the exposed stone walls, and the roofs have been completely redone. Certain parts of the estate have also been modernised to provide year-round facilities for yoga retreats. Two levelled expanses face each other: a vast parking area bordered by low stone walls, which runs in front of the buildings to the right of the driveway, and, at the eastern end, a relaxing terrace partly protected by a solid wood pergola with views over the surrounding area. The property is surrounded by well-kept parklands that slope gently to the south, blending seamlessly into the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Nature Park.
