Country Estate

An exceptional historic estate in the rolling countryside of Lot-et-Garonne

Dating from 1776 and centred around a magnificent stone manor house, with guest accommodation, swimming pool, garages, games room, separate apartment and extensive outbuildings.

Beautifully restored by the current owners with impeccable taste and considerable investment, the property offers refined luxury living set within more than 21 hectares of landscaped parkland, mature woodland and open countryside. Approached via a private lane, the estate enjoys complete privacy, far-reaching views and a strong sense of seclusion.

Main house

The principal residence is a superb example of 18th-century stone architecture, retaining its authentic character while being enhanced by an extensive and sympathetic restoration. The entrance is framed by an impressive ancient stone doorway opening into a welcoming reception hall with original terracotta flooring, exposed beams and thick stone walls, immediately setting the tone for the quality and atmosphere found throughout the home.

The ground floor living spaces have been thoughtfully designed to combine historic charm with modern comfort. The bespoke kitchen perfectly blends rustic character with contemporary practicality, featuring high-quality integrated appliances, generous work surfaces, terracotta floor tiles, a striking stone fireplace and a glazed door opening onto the courtyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent is a stylish dining room with warm wooden floorboards, ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family meals.

The grand drawing room provides an impressive reception space with excellent proportions, exposed beams, terracotta flooring and a feature fireplace forming a natural focal point, creating a room that is both elegant and inviting.

The ground floor also benefits from two spacious bedroom suites, both with stylish en-suite bathrooms, offering excellent comfort, privacy and highly desirable single-level living potential.

The first floor is accessed via a characterful staircase and continues the sense of space and refinement. With impressive vaulted and beamed ceilings throughout, the upper level comprises four further generous bedrooms, each carefully finished with oak doors, built-in wardrobes and considered detailing. The bathrooms are modern and stylish, combining quality fittings with tasteful design, and there is also a dedicated study providing a quiet and practical workspace.

Throughout the main house, the restoration has been carried out to an exceptional standard, preserving original architectural features while introducing every modern comfort, including double glazing, a combination of underfloor heating and radiators, oil-fired central heating, and air-source heat pump air conditioning in selected rooms. In addition, an extensive integrated Sonos sound system runs throughout the property, providing seamless audio in principal rooms and entertainment spaces. The result is a home that retains its historic soul while delivering outstanding year-round comfort and ease of living.

Courtyard, guest house and outdoor living

A beautifully restored guest house provides ideal accommodation for visiting family or guests, or potential rental income. Finished with the same attention to detail as the main residence, it features exposed stone walls, original beams and an attractive open-plan living space. French doors open onto a private terrace overlooking the gardens, creating a peaceful setting. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with granite worktops, while heating is provided via an efficient air-source heat pump system.

The central courtyard forms a charming and atmospheric heart of the estate, featuring a lily pond with fountain and a superb covered terrace with heating, providing an exceptional space for al fresco dining and year-round outdoor entertaining. Beyond this, a further outdoor heated snug area offers a cosy additional retreat, ideal for relaxed evenings in all seasons.

Additional accommodation and outbuildings

A separate staff apartment offers further flexibility, comprising a stylish bathroom and kitchen area with open-plan living space requiring final completion, providing excellent potential for independent accommodation or extended family use.

The estate also includes a dedicated workshop, alongside an impressive collection of ancillary spaces rarely found in properties of this calibre, including a wine cellar, billiards room, utility room and home gym/studio, all enhancing the versatility and lifestyle appeal of the property.

Leisure areas

The superb walled swimming pool area provides a private retreat, with a heated pool and recently replaced liner, surrounded by generous sun terraces ideal for entertaining and relaxation throughout the warmer months.

Garaging, parking and practical features

Practicality has been carefully integrated throughout the estate, including a substantial three-car garage and extensive additional parking for up to twenty vehicles. A traditional pigeon tower adds architectural charm, while modern conveniences include more than 400 exterior lights, a fully integrated irrigation system, an automated lawn maintenance system and comprehensive security installation, ensuring both ease of upkeep and peace of mind.

Grounds and setting

The estate extends over 21 hectares of beautifully maintained grounds, comprising manicured parkland, established trees, open countryside and areas of mature woodland. Positioned at the end of a private lane, it offers exceptional privacy, tranquillity and uninterrupted natural beauty.

Despite its secluded setting, the property is conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Agen, with its fast TGV connections to Paris. It also sits between the highly sought-after bastide villages of Beauville and Roquecor, both offering vibrant weekly markets, restaurants and essential amenities.

This is a rare and complete country estate combining historic charm, modern luxury and total privacy in one of south-west France’s most desirable rural settings, with contents available by separate negotiation.
