Luxury family chateau with venue facilities

Breathtakingly Beautiful 13th-Century Château on the Banks of the River Lot

Set in a commanding position on the banks of the River Lot, this 13th-century château is the real deal — historic, handsome, and restored to a standard that would impress even the most demanding château enthusiast. With its centuries of history and an impressive restoration, it now combines old-world charm with all the practical comforts of modern living.

Brought stylishly into the 21st century with a Viessmann in-ground geothermal heat pump, double glazing, and log-burning stoves, the château is presented in excellent condition throughout. The hard work — and expense — have been taken care of, leaving the next owner free to simply arrive and enjoy.

Inside, you’ll find stone spiral staircases, vast beamed ceilings, ancient terracotta floors, vaulted rooms, painted frescos, and magnificent chimneys — in short, every feature you’d hope for in a French château, all beautifully maintained. This is most definitely not the usual faded pile waiting for rescue; this one has already been given the five-star treatment.

The accommodation includes nine luxury bedroom suites and several grand yet comfortable reception rooms. The modern kitchen, with integral appliances, opens through French doors onto a wisteria-covered terrace overlooking the river — quite possibly the best spot in France for an evening apéro. There’s also a gym, wine cave, and vast attic for future ideas, making the château perfect as a private home or a high-end hospitality venture.

Outside, 16 hectares of parkland unfold down to the river, with sweeping lawns, specimen trees, and direct access to the water. There’s a ruined stone mill house and a private mooring, so you can head out to supper by boat — far easier (and frankly, more fun) than taking the car. Add excellent fishing, a heated swimming pool with electric cover, sun terrace, and probably the prettiest pool house in South-West France, and you’ll see why this place is special.

Within the grounds sits a magnificent stone-vaulted banqueting hall, ideal for weddings, concerts, or any excuse for a celebration. Various barns, garaging, and an estate office complete the picture, all set behind handsome gated entrances and beautifully kept gardens.

If you’re looking for a serious country house with pedigree, comfort, and a dash of fun, this château takes some beating.  Contents available by separate negotiation, please form an orderly queue!
