Situated amidst 208 hectares of pristine land, this property boasts a majestic chteau, picturesque parklands, charming outbuildings, and fertile grounds ripe for cultivation. Step into a world of medieval splendor as you enter the gates of this remarkable chteau, steeped in over 700 years of history.

Originally constructed in the XIII century for defensive purposes, the chteau has since evolved, bearing witness to the architectural styles of the Renaissance and Empire periods. From its crenelated gatehouse to its spiral stone staircase and vaulted stone wine cellars, every corner of the chteau exudes timeless elegance and grandeur.

With 25 rooms, including majestic reception halls, cozy bedrooms, and a quaint chapel, the chteau offers boundless opportunities for restoration (subject to necessary permissions). Surrounded by lush parklands adorned with ancient cedar of Lebanon, plane, and oak trees, the estate evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity.

A XVI century pigeonnier adds to the charm. A once-glorious swimming pool awaits restoration, promising endless days of relaxation amidst the beauty of nature. Nestled along the banks of a meandering river, the mill house and miller's house stand as testaments to the estate's rich agricultural heritage.

Further afield, four additional farmhouses with outbuildings offer glimpses into rural life, waiting to be lovingly restored to their former glory. Spanning woodlands, meadows, and cultivated fields, the land presents a canvas for agricultural pursuits and outdoor adventures. With 48 hectares of woodland and 156 hectares of fertile soil, the possibilities are as vast as the horizon (approximately 40 hectares are currently under lease).

Whether cultivating crops or simply embracing the natural beauty of the landscape, the land offers endless opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. Conveniently located just a stone's throw from local amenities and a short drive from the bustling town of Agen and major motorways, the estate combines seclusion with accessibility, offering the perfect balance of rural charm and modern convenience. For those with a passion for history, architecture, and the preservation of heritage, this estate represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With its storied past and boundless potential, it is not merely a property but a legacy in the making an invitation to write the next chapter in its illustrious history.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £131,713 more.
