Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Surrounded by the softly undulating countryside of the Lot-et-Garonne and framed by the region’s celebrated medieval bastides, this distinguished 17th-century château enjoys far-reaching views towards the beautiful village of Monflanquin, officially recognised among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Steeped in history and quiet elegance, the estate captures the enduring romance of south-west France while offering the comfort and ease expected of a carefully restored country residence.
Arrival is through an elegant central courtyard, setting the tone for a property of considerable charm and presence. The château has been sensitively restored over the years, preserving its architectural integrity while creating a home that feels both refined and deeply welcoming. Extending to approximately 460 m² (4,800 sq ft), the interiors are filled with natural light and rich in character, where original fireplaces, generous proportions and beautifully balanced reception rooms create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication.
The ground floor unfolds around a grand central hall, leading to an elegant drawing room, a warm and inviting library, and a fully equipped country kitchen with an adjoining dining room designed equally for intimate family life and entertaining on a larger scale. Four peaceful bedroom suites occupy this level, each with its own en-suite bathroom, while two further suites are arranged discreetly within the château’s upper wings, offering privacy and lovely views across the surrounding landscape.
The château is offered furnished, with carefully selected pieces that complement the spirit of the house and enhance its quietly luxurious atmosphere.
Below, an extensive basement reveals a series of traditional wine cellars, including seven original caves alongside additional annexes and storage rooms. Large attic spaces and two substantial wings present further possibilities for conversion or additional accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions.
The grounds extend across more than 1.5 hectares (3.8 acres) of mature landscaped parkland, with sweeping lawns, established trees and secluded corners designed for both entertaining and repose. At the centre of the gardens lies a striking heated saltwater swimming pool measuring 6m x 12m, accompanied by a charming stone-built pool house and broad terraces perfectly suited to long summer lunches and evening gatherings. A fenced ornamental garden adds another layer of charm to the setting.
Authentic details remain beautifully intact throughout the property, including traditional wooden-framed single-glazed windows, while practical infrastructure includes two septic tanks and oil fired central heating serving the estate.
Rarely does a château of this calibre combine such authenticity, comfort and setting so gracefully. Equally suited as an elegant private home, a refined countryside retreat or a discreet hospitality venture, this is a property that offers not simply a residence, but an entire way of life in one of the most picturesque corners of Lot-et-Garonne.
