Country estate with manor, event facilities, annexes and workshop

A country estate of quite sublime beauty, restored with an impeccable eye, unwavering taste and what can only be described as eye-watering expense. The result? A property that looks as though it has stepped straight from the pages of The World of Interiors—and rather smugly at that.

At its heart sits a truly stunning 19th-century stone Manor House, accompanied by an extraordinary supporting cast: a spectacular banqueting barn, a charming converted pigeon tower now forming a one-bedroom cottage, a substantial stone barn converted into three further houses, extensive outbuildings, a large barn for garaging, a swimming pool, and grounds of approximately 3.1 hectares that give Versailles a very respectable run for its money.

Lovingly restored over many years by the current fastidious owners—with frankly breathtaking results—the entire estate is presented in immaculate condition. Whether you’re seeking a substantial family domain, generous guest accommodation, or a property with serious earning potential, this one ticks every conceivable box. All of it set in a beautiful corner of south-west France, blessed with excellent transport links and, in my humble opinion, some of the finest countryside in Europe.

Accessed via either a gated entrance or a second private driveway, the Manor House sits proudly at the end of the drive. Grand yet surprisingly comfortable, it offers a magnificent full-length hallway, three principal reception rooms and a rear balcony capturing spectacular views. Period features abound: exquisite plaster cornicing, marble fireplaces, herringbone flooring, original doors and a truly elegant staircase. The stylish modern kitchen—complete with stone flooring and worktops and a gas range cooker—strikes the perfect balance between contemporary practicality and classical charm. Six beautifully designed bedrooms follow, each decorated with flair and confidence, featuring imaginative wallpapers and colour palettes that clearly reflect a professional touch. Luxurious marble-lined bathrooms complete the picture, alongside pompe à chaleur heating and air conditioning in select rooms. Frankly, the photographs do most of the talking.

The banqueting barn is nothing short of remarkable, boasting a full-height beamed ceiling and previously used for weddings—though it would suit a multitude of uses just as well. Additional basement rooms provide further flexibility, including bathrooms and play areas.

A further large stone barn has been converted into three immaculate gîtes—one one-bedroom, one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom—each finished with full-height ceilings, exposed beams, travertine flooring and no expense spared. Add to this the utterly charming converted pigeon tower, now a cosy one-bedroom open-plan hideaway that could melt even the most hardened heart.

The grounds are quite something: beautifully manicured gardens with exceptional topiary, elegant cypress trees, a large pond, decked terraces and far-reaching views. There is also separate woodland, ideal for leisurely dog walks. And of course, no estate of this calibre would be complete without a 12m x 6m heated salt-water swimming pool, complete with electric cover and sun terrace from which to admire it all.

All this lies just five minutes from excellent local amenities, with Bordeaux and Toulouse both approximately 90 minutes away. In short, this is a property that genuinely has it all—presented in the most spectacular condition imaginable.
