18th-Century Château in Southwest France

Set within six hectares of private parkland in the rolling countryside of Lot-et-Garonne, this distinguished 18th-century château combines historic character with the comfort and scale of a beautifully restored country estate. Originally created as a summer residence for the Bishop of Agen, the home is approached through wrought-iron gates and along a tree-lined driveway, immediately establishing a sense of privacy and grandeur.

Extending across approximately 600 square metres, the château offers seven generous bedrooms for up to 14 guests. Six bedrooms feature en-suite shower rooms, while the seventh is served by a separate bathroom. Elegant reception rooms retain the atmosphere of the property’s past, with high ceilings, fireplaces, original stonework and refined proportions, complemented by a spacious open-plan kitchen designed for relaxed gatherings. A billiard and reading room provides another inviting place to unwind.

Outside, the estate opens onto extensive lawns, mature gardens and sweeping rural views. A large heated swimming pool forms the centrepiece of summer days, while a traditional tobacco barn creates a shaded setting for outdoor dining, table tennis and leisurely afternoons. Additional facilities include a fully equipped gym, private parking and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Surrounded by bastide villages, vineyards and celebrated food markets, the château is ideally placed for discovering southwest France, from cycling and countryside walks to wine tasting, historic towns and canoeing along the Dordogne River. Its combination of heritage, generous living spaces and secluded grounds creates an elegant base for families and friends seeking privacy, character and an authentic sense of French country life.
