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.

A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS

A 17th-century chateau and its 39-hectare estate listed as a historic monument 30 minutes from Lyon. Built between 1608 and 1616 on a former castle motte acquired by Jean Sève, Lyon's Receiver General of Finances, and accessible via a drawbridge, the chateau's architecture is distinctive due to its perfect symmetry. It has three storeys, with cellars and attic space in the main central part of the building. This part is flanked on either side by two wings, each topped by a hipped roof with rolled eaves, and by two projecting corner towers topped by square-based convex arched roofs, also with rolled eaves. The north and south facades of the main building have large mullioned windows with small panes, with seven windows from the ground floor to the second floor. The slate, hipped roof of the main building features three pediment dormers to the north and south - one in the centre with an arched pediment and the others with a triangular pediment. On either side, the windows on the wings and towers are the same type and height as those on the main building. The roofs are different. Some of them need renovation - those above the towers and the central building. If the building’s shape seems is surprising and the size of the wings seems modest compared to that of the central body, it is because the body houses a very large former Calvinist temple on the second floor, illuminated by seven windows on each facade. It was one of the 'fief temples' that France tolerated on its territory after the Edict of Nantes, on condition that they remained discreet. Three dormer windows to the south and north, unique because of their unusual size and their Holy Trinity symbols, were and remain, the only external sign of this on the building. A moat surrounds the chateau and the outbuildings. The property is enhanced by outbuildings such as a caretaker's cottage and a farmhouse with a swimming pool in its walled square courtyard. Lastly, a fountain consisting of a basin adorned by three marmosets from the park at Vaux-le-Vicomte stands in the centre of a circular pool, beyond a large terraced flowerbed, in front of the chateau’s south facade.

Private equestrian center that can be transformed into a professional facility High-quality renovation carried out by renowned craftsmen, also with the services of an architect. The property benefits from 43 hectares of land, offering vast expanses of contiguous meadow.
