Wonderful opportunity to acquire an outstanding 8 bedroom French Chateau with 2 gites, an apartment and 2 swimming pools, nestling in over 6 hectares of glorious land with a lake, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location near all amenities in Lauzun.

This exceptional property is situated on the right hand side of the gated, beautiful tree lined driveway, with the further guest houses and barn on the left hand side. There is plenty of space for vehicles and covered parking for 4 cars at the rear of the property.

It has been a loved family home for many years, with the extra accommodation also providing a potential, and turnkey, revenue opportunity. With the layout being separated by the various buildings and levels, it could easily be a destination for retreats, large parties, weddings or other such events.

The 2 swimming pools are in marvellous, picturesque locations within the grounds, one with a fully equipped summer kitchen. The lake is big enough to allow a rowing boat to take in the scenery.

The Chateau itself sits atop a small hill with scenic views of the local countryside; it has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Entering via the magnificent flagstone entrance hall with an extremely high ceiling, the grandeur and history of the property is immediately evident.

The main living room boasts a high ceiling and an open fireplace. The kitchen sits between the large dining room and a further, smaller living room. There is also an office and a utility room. The main swimming pool sits outside on this elevated level. The property benefits from natural light throughout, due to the many large, handsome windows and high ceilings.

Below this, but with a separate entrance, are a further 3 bedrooms with a shower room.

Outside is a substantial, partially terraced courtyard area next to the main swimming pool, which has an electric cover. There is also an elevator down to the driveway. The stone steps lead down to the driveway, where the rest of the accommodation and the barns are located.

Immediately below is a separate charming stone cottage with a bedroom, bathroom and living room. To the side and towards the rear of the property is a charming self-contained gite with beautiful exposed beams and other original features with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen and living room.

Behind this is a large barn, in fantastic condition, currently used for storage, but could easily be developed for an alternative use if desired. This is connected to an apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living room and study area.

Outside, secluded to one side is the second swimming pool, also with an electric cover. It has the superb addition of a fully equipped and covered summer kitchen. Simply a wonderful spot to enjoy and soak up the beauty of this part of the world.

At the very rear of the buildings are the garages and covered parking areas for 4 cars.

Sitting close to the rivers of the Dordogne, the Lot as well as the Garonne, this property is excellently positioned. It is very close to numerous pretty bastide towns with their restaurants, bars, local markets, whilst also enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy and calm.

It is only a little over 30 minutes drive from Bergerac and its International airport and under 2 hours from the larger city of Bordeaux and the beaches nearby. Agen is under an hour away, which has TGV links to Paris as well.

The Pyrenees and its ski resorts can be reached in 3 hours.
