DESCRIPTION

Magnificent chateau with 15 main rooms, at least 600 sqm of living space over 4 stories, built on a promontory near Agen.

The basement includes a guard room and dungeons.

The attic space could be converted.

The loggia and terraces offer panoramic views over the rolling hills of the Lot-et-Garonne region.

The outbuildings include a caretaker's cottage, chapel, dovecote, workshop and woodshed.

On one of the terraces, between the chateau and the chapel, everything is ready for a swimming pool.

A former fortified villa dating back to the 12th century, the original chateau was topped by cantilevered watchtowers.

At the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century, a square tower armed with cross-shaped loopholes was added to the north corner.

Altered and enlarged at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century with the construction of a chapel with a flat chevet and a defensive wall.

Enlarged in the 17th century with two semi-circular portals adorned with columns, giving access to the courtyard.

Purchased in 1963 by a chief architect of historic monuments, it has been renovated from top to bottom according to the rules of art and history.

It was listed (1964) and then classified (1988) as a partial Historic Monument.

The chateau, a caretaker's cottage and outbuildings (including a former stable) are arranged around an enclosed courtyard.

Outside the courtyard is the chapel of Saint Pierre, a former parish church, a woodshed and a dovecote.

The property spans 3ha 64a 23ca.
