About this Property

Embark on a journey through time with this extraordinary historical estate, offering an unparalleled opportunity to revive a piece of French history.

Situated amidst 208 hectares of pristine land, this property boasts a majestic château, picturesque parklands, charming outbuildings, and fertile grounds ripe for cultivation.

Step into a world of medieval splendor as you enter the gates of this remarkable château, steeped in over 700 years of history. Originally constructed in the XIII century for defensive purposes, the château has since evolved, bearing witness to the architectural styles of the Renaissance and Empire periods. From its crenelated gatehouse to its spiral stone staircase and vaulted stone wine cellars, every corner of the château exudes timeless elegance and grandeur. With 25 rooms, including majestic reception halls, cozy bedrooms, and a quaint chapel, the château offers boundless opportunities for restoration (subject to necessary permissions).

Surrounded by lush parklands adorned with ancient cedar of Lebanon, plane, and oak trees, the estate evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity. A XVI century pigeonnier adds to the charm. A once-glorious swimming pool awaits restoration, promising endless days of relaxation amidst the beauty of nature.

Nestled along the banks of a meandering river, the mill house and miller's house stand as testaments to the estate's rich agricultural heritage. Further afield, four additional farmhouses with outbuildings offer glimpses into rural life, waiting to be lovingly restored to their former glory.

Spanning woodlands, meadows, and cultivated fields, the land presents a canvas for agricultural pursuits and outdoor adventures. With 48 hectares of woodland and 156 hectares of fertile soil, the possibilities are as vast as the horizon (approximately 40 hectares are currently under lease). Whether cultivating crops or simply embracing the natural beauty of the landscape, the land offers endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment.

Conveniently located just a stone's throw from local amenities and a short drive from the bustling town of Agen and major motorways, the estate combines seclusion with accessibility, offering the perfect balance of rural charm and modern convenience.

For those with a passion for history, architecture, and the preservation of heritage, this estate represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With its storied past and boundless potential, it is not merely a property but a legacy in the making—an invitation to write the next chapter in its illustrious history.

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
