R162 Classic Country Chateau – Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine

Perched on a knoll commanding stunning views over its extensive estate and beyond, this chateau is the very essence of luxury combined with peace and tranquillity. Whilst readily accessible to airports such as Bordeaux and Agen, it is never-the-less tucked quietly off the beaten track, and is set amongst some of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside the area has to offer. The chateau itself has been the subject of a complete restoration by the current owners and now offers great modern conveniences including ensuites in almost all bedrooms. The original character of the property has been retained – stunning ornate panelling, ceiling roses and cornicing, lovely floors etc – and yet offers incredible light and volume to both reception rooms and bedrooms. Currently the property is arranged with ten bedrooms in the main wing of the chateau, with a separate self-contained guest wing of three bedrooms that interconnects. A further ‘dependence’ offers further possibilities. An ‘Orangerie’ to one flank, including its own small commercial kitchen and facilities, provides a rare banquet hall, whilst another is equally suited to an exhibition hall or presentation garage. The swimming pool is located discreetly to the side, and has one of the best summer kitchens we have seen from a converted pigeonnier and stable block. The ensemble sit surrounded by a park of lawns, meadows and trees where deer and boar abound. Sensational through and through.
