Country Estate Set in 36 Acres with Pool, Lake, Outbuildings and Stunning Views

Property Description

Summary
A charming and secluded country estate partly dating from the 1700s, offering great privacy and tranquillity, tastefully restored and in great condition and occupying a dominant position on the southern bank of the Seoune river valley with stunning views.

Location
Located only 1km from the medieval bastide village of Castelsagrat in the Tarn et Garonne department (82) and only 55 minutes from Toulouse Blagnac airport.
Castelsagrat, only 3 minutes away, is one of few bastides that have all essential amenities: bakery, post office, bar/restaurant, convenience store, hairdresser and school. It is also home to an annual series of endurance horse races and, in 2023, hosts the world championships.
Nearby towns include Moissac and Valence d’Agen, 20 minutes away and hosting weekly farmer's markets. The city of Agen is 30 minutes away.
The area is also known for its summer night markets, access to seasonal produce (e.g. truffles, cèpes) and numerous wine regions including Cahors, Buzet and Brulhois.
It is home to many historic attractions including medieval villages, castles, abbeys and caves and provides a wide range of leisure facilities such as golf courses, horse riding stables, lake beaches and water sports centres.
The property sits in a no-build zone, ensuring no new nearby housing developments.
It is also located in a Rural Revitalisation Zone, so that any qualifying new business established at the property can be operated tax free for the first 5 years with a partial and degressive exemption over the following 3 years.
