Impressive 17th C fortified farmhouse near Mauroux, set in 23 ha with pool and outbuildings. U-shaped around a courtyard, offering 600 m² including owner’s 5 bedroom home, 4 gîtes(3 bed, 2 bed, 2 bed and 1 bed), communal spaces, barn and development potential—ideal for prestigious residence, hospitality and events.

Set in unspoilt countryside just minutes from a village with full amenities, this magnificent 17th-century fortified farmhouse is a rare and substantial property offering scale, character and exceptional versatility. Arranged in a harmonious U-shape around an elegant stone courtyard, the estate enjoys a peaceful, private setting with far-reaching rural views, while remaining easily accessible.

The property offers approximately 600 m² of habitable space and is currently organised to combine private living with a successful hospitality or rental configuration. The owner’s residence comprises a welcoming living room with kitchen, three bedrooms, a shower room and WC, providing comfortable and private accommodation separate from the guest areas.

In addition, there are four fully equipped gîtes: two with two bedrooms, one with a single bedroom, and a larger three-bedroom/3 bathroom gîte. Each is designed to retain the authenticity of the building while offering modern comfort, making the property ideally suited to a gîte, B&B or holiday rental business.

At the heart of the ensemble are generous communal spaces that can be shared by guests and owners alike. These include a large fully fitted kitchen, a spacious living room and a library on the ground floor, all imbued with warmth and character. A majestic stone staircase beneath vaulted ceilings leads to an upper level where a master suite and a versatile multi-purpose room—ideal as an office, studio or relaxation space—are located.

The property benefits from numerous practical and ancillary areas including a laundry room, storerooms, vaulted cellar, cupboards and various storage spaces. A private sauna adds an additional touch of comfort and wellbeing. There is also further development potential of over 120 m², offering scope to create additional accommodation or leisure facilities, subject to permissions.

Throughout the property, period features have been carefully preserved: exposed stone walls, timber beams, flagstone floors, terracotta tiles and original fireplaces all contribute to a warm, authentic atmosphere steeped in history.

Outside, the central courtyard provides a striking focal point and opens onto views of the surrounding countryside. The grounds include a large L-shaped swimming pool with decking, ideal for relaxation and entertaining, as well as a substantial barn, a well and an old tobacco drying shed, reinforcing the agricultural heritage of the site.

The estate is completed by 23 hectares of adjoining land, offering exceptional possibilities for equestrian use, agriculture, events, tourism projects or simply enjoying complete privacy and space.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of scale and authenticity, suitable as a prestigious family estate, a high-quality tourism venture, or a long-term heritage investment in the heart of south-west France.
