Property Description

Authentic 13th-Century Château with Gîtes, Barn and Swimming Pool in the Hills of the Lot-et-Garonne

Set high in the rolling countryside of the Lot-et-Garonne, this remarkable 13th-century château enjoys a privileged position on approximately 2 hectares of private land, just a short drive from the lively bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Reached via a quiet country lane, the property offers privacy, open views and a rare sense of space and tranquillity.

Originally built as a country residence for the King’s Consul, the château has retained all of its authentic character. High ceilings with exposed beams, stone walls, period fireplaces and generous volumes reflect its medieval history, while modern comforts have been discreetly integrated. Around the château are three independent, fully equipped gîtes, each with its own atmosphere and outdoor spaces. Together, they can comfortably accommodate between 18 and 20 guests, allowing for an ideal combination of private living and holiday rental activity.

The grounds are arranged around a charming courtyard and include a large saltwater swimming pool, multiple terraces with panoramic views, and a convivial outdoor space with wood-burning stove and pizza oven. From the estate, the surrounding landscape unfolds in all directions, and it is not uncommon to spot deer, hares, squirrels and birds of prey during the day. In the evening, bats emerge and a resident barn owl can often be seen gliding silently from its home in the château’s turret.

In addition to the château and gîtes, the property includes a substantial barn with significant potential, currently used as an atelier and workshop space, and easily adaptable for creative, professional or leisure activities. A vegetable garden, additional outbuildings and evocative stone ruins further enhance the character of the estate.

With its combination of historical charm, natural beauty and proven rental potential, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to embrace the French way of life in one of southwest France’s most attractive and unspoilt regions.
