Near Agen, a 17th-century estate combining heritage and modernity, with stables, a guesthouse, and other outbuildings. The private pathway leading to the property ascends a wooded hillside overlooking the floodplain, dedicated to cereal and fruit cultivation and traversed by the Garonne canal; it runs alongside a powerful terraced wall and the first buildings of the property. The local climate is temperate, with hot summers and no dry season. Built on the hillside, the residence offers a panoramic view of the Garonne valley, which marks the border with Gascony. Historically part of an agricultural estate and well protected from flooding, it represents a typical example of a noble house from the Agen region.

It is bordered by a terrace to the north. Like the main house, which has been fully renovated, all other constructions are operational, in accordance with the wishes of the current occupants, and are gathered around a private enclosed garden. The courtyard, rectangular and half-paved, half-grassy, serves the living quarters and agricultural buildings. These have retained their corbelling and the entablature of the exterior facades in brick, reflecting an architectural adaptation that dates back to the Restoration, while the other facades, in rubble stone, are plastered or pointed. The roofs, mostly gabled in two or four slopes, are covered with either canal tiles or mechanical tiles. Only the half-timbered dovecote, the pool room, and the guesthouse located in the large barn with a gallery are separated from the built complex. Finally, the park, grassy and wooded with multiple species, includes a swimming pool and its building in the center, a dovecote to the north, an orchard to the southeast, and a small wood to the west.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A fully restored 18th-century Chartreuse, surrounded by 4 hectares of woods, in the Lot-et-Garonne area, on the slopes above Agen. The flat area of land in front of the wooded grounds, with an unparalleled view of the Garonne Valley, stretches out in front of the walls and buildings of the property, which can be reached through a carriage gate next to a massive watchtower and high defensive walls. The area houses a large barn used as a garage, as well as a swimming pool with a pool-house and a pétanque pitch. Once inside the enclosed stone walls with only two entrances through carriage gates opposite one another to the north and south, tucked away from prying eyes, the 18th-century Chartreuse house stands. The house’s nobility is underlined by the Roman tiles, double or triple genoise corbels, and a coat of arms above a palm leaf topping the entrance door, which is flanked by ionic pilasters. The main façade of the Chartreuse faces west, while on its rear to the east, there is a long gallery typical of Gascony, with a wooded floor and pillars, overlooking the valley. However, the date of its initial occupation and the presence of an underground passage remain a mystery. The many outbuildings, including a guests’ house and converted barns, surround the garden/courtyard combining gravelled paths and lawns. All the roofs have been renovated, while the previously weakened walls of the outbuildings have been consolidated. A certain variety of eras and architectural styles is evident: the medieval and austere appearance of the dressed stone walls strikes a contrast with the almost Italian-inspired garden/courtyard and the two-storey long house with dual aspect rooms, making the interior as bright as the exterior.

An entirely restored 18th-century residence with outbuildings, on 11 hectares of land, like a Provence fortified village, in the Lot-et-Garonne area, near Agen. A limestone track branches off from a country road and leads on for approximately 150 metres, lined on one side by overhanging crags and on the other by alternating dense foliage as well as meadows below. The narrow, one-way lane splits as it reaches the buildings, with one leading to the residence, while the other curves round to rejoin the road further on. The entrance to the property is marked by a first wrought iron gate, while a second, more imposing, 18th-century one welcomes the visitor opposite the house’s enclosed courtyard. The main façade can be seen behind a small wall topped with wrought iron railings. The two-storey building is made with ashlar and has been rendered with lime on the southern wing. The hipped roof made of Romanesque tiles is underlined by a double or even triple genoise corbel as well as rainwater gutters. The arrangement on each level of an odd number of windows is symmetrical in its positioning: the ground floor is bathed in light through wide, small-paned windows, while the first floor is dotted with half-moon windows. The window frames are underlined in ochre-coloured tones and fitted with painted wooden shutters, providing discrete sophistication to the building as a whole. The main section forms an L-shape with the west wing and boasts a sober and elegant façade at the end of the courtyard. On the ground floor, two windows flank the period, solid wood, 18th-century entrance door. The outbuildings can be found to the east. Over the last twenty years, the current occupants have graced the estate with abundant vegetation that has shaped its character. Following a southern French spirit, Provence cypress, olive, pittosporum and other evergreen trees seem to have belonged to the landscape since time immemorial. They combine with ponds, fountains, statues, garden ornaments and stone walls. A swimming pool has been harmoniously incorporated into the garden.

Surrounded by 11 hectares of land that protect it from noise pollution, this beautiful 18th-century charterhouse (built in 1730) overlooks the surrounding countryside and offers superb panoramic views. It has been fully restored in keeping with its origins, offering 500 m² of living space furnished with refinement and every comfort. Beautiful, light-filled reception rooms with high ceilings.

Interior courtyard enclosed by a low wall topped with railings and an ironwork gate flanked by imposing stone pillars. Rear terrace offering superb panoramic views.
