About this Property

Set in the heart of the countryside, this extraordinary 12th-century château has been carefully restored over the past decade to combine timeless charm with refined contemporary comfort. Centered around a beautifully landscaped courtyard, the estate seamlessly integrates the main château and an independent guardian’s lodge, complete with a heated saltwater infinity pool, jacuzzi, wooden terraces, raised flower beds, and a serene ornamental fish pond.

Main Residence – a fusion of light, history and modern elegance:
Bathed in natural light, the château perfectly balances original architectural features with modern amenities. Every window frames breathtaking views, while the spacious ground floor rooms open gracefully onto covered terraces. The bespoke kitchen features custom cabinetry imported from Spain, and includes a rear kitchen with laundry area and a dedicated dog room. A sleek glass partition connects the kitchen to a vast living and dining space, highlighted by a dramatic stone staircase that leads to a cloakroom and separate WC.

Upstairs, the principal suite offers a walk-in dressing room, a stylish "his" shower room set in the tower, and an elegant "hers" bathroom. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are found on this level—one with an adjoining room ideal for children or use as a fourth bedroom—alongside a large family bathroom with separate WC.

Secondary residence – traditional charm and comfort:
This separate house, full of character, is accessed through a central entrance hall that leads to a cozy library. On one side, a large living/dining room with a charming fireplace; on the other, a study that could serve as a formal dining room, an original kitchen, and a shower room. The upper floor includes a spacious mezzanine, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a storage room, and a climate-controlled wine cellar.

Outdoor highlights:
The heated saltwater infinity pool is framed by two cascading waterfalls built into a stone wall. The surrounding wooden terrace offers generous space for sunbathing and entertaining. A staircase leads to a gazebo with a daybed, and further down, a designated parking area with a garage and workshop.

Additional features include:
High-speed internet
Security alarm system
Electric gates for enhanced privacy and security

This one-of-a-kind estate offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of French history, reimagined with elegance, comfort, and attention to detail. A truly exceptional property for those seeking heritage, peace, and luxury in equal measure.

Aquitaine

Lot-et-Garonne

Gontaud-de-Nogaret

Aquitaine

If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.

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.
