luxury contemporary house for sale Gasques, France

A rare 17th-century castle estate in Tarn-et-Garonne Located amidst the gently rolling valleys of Tarn-et-Garonne, near the lively village of Roquecor, this small, exceptional castle estate offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, extraordinary interiors and beautifully landscaped grounds. Accessible via a private driveway and opening onto imposing wrought-iron electric gates, the property spans just over 61 hectares, with the château discreetly positioned at the end of its own drive and surrounded by its grounds. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the estate benefits from excellent transport links: the village of Roquecor, renowned for its excellent restaurants and relaxed atmosphere, is nearby; Agen is about 30 minutes away, with its high-speed TGV connection to Paris, while Toulouse airport is just over an hour away. The château itself is a triumph of restoration. To describe it simply as a labor of love would hardly do justice to the extraordinary care, skill, and investment lavished upon it by its current owners. The renovation was undertaken by highly regarded craftsmen and interior designers, with quality and aesthetics taking precedence throughout. The result is a residence of exceptional refinement, where historic architecture blends seamlessly with a contemporary and elegant lifestyle. The interiors are absolutely extraordinary. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms are complemented by elegant, modern bathrooms, while the entire house is brimming with original period details. A magnificent staircase with delicate iron railings forms a striking centerpiece, leading to harmoniously proportioned reception rooms. The main living room is particularly impressive, with a beamed ceiling, a magnificent 18th-century fireplace, and original wood paneling. A charming dining room features an antique stone fireplace, while the wood-paneled study offers a wonderfully atmospheric retreat. The entrance hall, with its stone columns, creates an immediate sense of history and grandeur, leading to an exceptionally stylish modern kitchen. Each room has been designed with remarkable attention to detail. The decor is immaculate yet inviting, combining period charm with a sophisticated contemporary aesthetic. It's the kind of property that looks like it's been plucked straight from the pages of Interior Design magazine . Outside, the same level of care continues. The château is surrounded by perfectly landscaped walled gardens, featuring mature trees, immaculate boxwood topiary, and, of course, an elegant fountain that serves as a classic focal point. The gardens possess the maturity and serenity that only time can bestow, creating a wonderfully private setting around the house. Beyond the formal French gardens, the property includes a gatehouse, a guest or staff cottage, large garages, and numerous additional outbuildings, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, family, staff, storage, vehicles, or other projects. The buildings and grounds benefit from magnificent views across the surrounding countryside. A beautiful swimming pool, accompanied by a covered terrace, offers an idyllic setting for long summer lunches and relaxing afternoons overlooking the grounds. The castle's furniture and works of art, which have been carefully selected to complement the architecture and interiors, can also be acquired through separate negotiation, thus offering a rare opportunity for a buyer to acquire the property while retaining much of its original character and style. What makes this property so unusual is the combination of its scale, intimacy, architectural heritage, and the extraordinary standard of its renovation. Dating back to the 17th century, it retains the soul and character of an authentic French country estate while offering a level of contemporary comfort and design rarely found in historic properties. With an exorbitant level of investment having been devoted to its restoration, the opportunity to acquire such a meticulousl
