Set in an elevated position overlooking rolling countryside, this historic château enjoys complete privacy while remaining just a few kilometres from a thriving market town offering a full range of shops, restaurants, schools and services. Surrounded by the picturesque landscapes of south-west France, the property benefits from excellent transport connections, with Bordeaux International Airport approximately 1 hour 50 minutes away and Toulouse Airport around 1 hour 30 minutes. The location perfectly balances rural tranquillity with accessibility.

Approached via a long private driveway climbing gently through its grounds and passing beneath a handsome stone archway, this elegant 17th-century château emerges dramatically within its parkland setting. Occupying a commanding elevated position, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a historic estate of exceptional character.

The château’s distinguished façade is protected as a Historic Monument, reflecting the architectural significance and heritage of this remarkable residence. Throughout, original features have been preserved, creating an atmosphere of authenticity, elegance and timeless charm.

A beautiful stone staircase leads to the principal entrance, opening into an impressive reception hall where the château’s architectural grandeur immediately becomes apparent. The magnificent two-metre-wide stone staircase rises through the centre of the building, highlighting the exceptional proportions and volume of the interiors.

The ground floor, extending to approximately 290 sqm, provides comfortable and well-appointed family accommodation. The formal dining room features a magnificent period stone fireplace, traditional tiled floors, exposed oak beams, high ceilings of approximately four metres and large double-glazed mullioned windows that flood the room with natural light. Currently incorporating a billiard table, it offers an ideal setting for entertaining.

The principal drawing room enjoys dual-aspect views over the countryside and benefits from a welcoming fireplace and informal dining area. Adjacent is a well-equipped kitchen fitted with attractive cabinetry and modern appliances. A further reception room currently serves as a library and study, providing a peaceful retreat within the house.

The sleeping accommodation on this level includes a generous principal bedroom with adjoining modern shower room, a further double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and an additional bedroom currently arranged as a children's room.

The first floor mirrors the footprint of the ground level and comprises five substantial rooms requiring renovation and modernisation, presenting an exciting opportunity to create further bedroom suites, reception rooms or guest accommodation. Above, the extensive attic level offers significant additional potential, with its impressive roof structure currently fully exposed.

Beneath the château, a series of vaulted cellars bear witness to the property's wine-producing past. These atmospheric spaces include a former open-fire kitchen, boiler room and numerous storage areas, together with a large workshop and technical rooms serving the estate.
