Description

Ref. PS1010 - For sale, an extraordinary property, a testament of architectural elegance that has been meticulously renovated to the height of luxury. Set within expansive grounds of an impressive five hectares, this unparalleled offering comprises a grand seven-bedroom Chateau, complemented by three distinct gites, each featuring two bedrooms, as well as a quaint one-bedroom pigeonier. Perfectly situated atop a small hill, the property offers tranquillity and privacy with stunning panoramic views.

Currently run as a holiday home for the owners and a coveted luxury rental destination, the estate is thoughtfully designed to seamlessly accommodate a myriad of lifestyles and preferences. Its expansive layout and versatile amenities make it eminently suitable for hosting grand gatherings, corporate retreats, exclusive events, or picturesque weddings. The property's captivating allure is further accentuated by several private terraces, three inviting swimming pools, a lake, collectively contributing to an atmosphere of unparalleled serenity.

The magnificent Chateau, stands as a beacon of historical grandeur and architectural distinction, is set apart from the other buildings on the estate. Originally commissioned as the summer residence for the Bishop of Agen in the 18th century, the Chateau exudes a palpable aura of historical charm, opulence, and grandeur. Upon crossing the threshold, one is immediately greeted by a resplendent entrance hall, adjoined by a large games room on one flank and an opulent sitting room on the opposing side. A beautifully crafted flagstone-floored hallway provides passage to a handsome stone staircase, gracefully ascending to the first floor of the Chateau. The rear of the Chateau opens up into an expansive open-plan living area, seamlessly integrating a very large dining and seating area, and a fully equipped kitchen with an imposing stone arch. Adjacent to this is a study and library, with an open fireplace and a spacious utility and laundry room on the other side, as well as an expansive cellar. The accommodation is all on the first floor, which is accessed by two distinct staircases leading to seven generously proportioned double bedrooms, five of which have well appointed and sizeable en-suite bathrooms. The high ceilings and generous, tall windows bathe the space in an abundance of natural light, creating an ambiance of warmth, comfort, and sophistication.

The rear of the Chateau unfolds into a substantial courtyard, partially terraced to optimize aesthetic appeal and functionality. Dominating this space is a resplendent swimming pool, measuring an impressive 12m by 6m, flanked by a meticulously restored tobacco drying barn, now reimagined as a versatile games area and a shady spot to escape the sun. Adjacent to the gites, is a gymnasium complete with a dedicated shower room. This would also be an excellent setting for yoga and other similar uses. Each gite, distinguished by its unique character and charm, boasts private pools and terraces, fostering an atmosphere of exclusivity and seclusion. Notably, two interconnected gites provide the flexibility to accommodate larger gatherings, while the standalone pigeonier serves as an intimate haven, affording unparalleled vistas of the surrounding landscape.

Strategically positioned, the property enjoys close proximity to an array of picturesque bastide towns, with their restaurants, bars, and bustling local markets. Furthermore, the estate benefits from its convenient location, being a mere 30-minute drive from Bergerac International Airport and less than two hours from the cosmopolitan centre of Bordeaux.

This distinguished property is a truly remarkable mix of historical significance, architectural elegance, and modern luxury.
