The nearby Canal latéral à la Garonne adds to the appeal of the setting, with a path providing direct access to the canal and its surrounding landscape.
The Main Residence and Guest House
Behind an elegant avenue of cypress trees, the estate comprises a restored 18th-century residence with approximately 580 m2 of living accommodation, arranged across two principal dwellings and two levels. The buildings retain their individual character while connecting to form a coherent property, with several external access points providing flexibility for residential and hospitality use.
The Main House
The principal house offers approximately 440 m2 of living space, arranged over two floors, with 19 rooms including seven bedrooms. Situated at the centre of the estate, it forms the main residential building and provides access to the adjoining accommodation.
The house is currently partly occupied by the owners. Its generous proportions and traditional architecture reflect the rural heritage of south-west France, while the restoration has preserved the character of the original buildings.
The Guest House
Known as Le Gîte, the second house provides approximately 140 m2 of accommodation, arranged predominantly on the ground floor. It comprises eight rooms, including three bedrooms, two of which are upstairs.
Its layout lends itself to independent guest accommodation, with a practical arrangement of rooms and convenient access to the outside. A private terrace extends the living space outdoors, while large picture windows bring in natural light.
Inside, a library, stone fireplace and east-facing veranda contribute to the property's character and comfort. The layout offers scope for family accommodation or guest use, subject to any applicable requirements.
Le Pavillon: Additional Guest Bedrooms
Set slightly apart from the main buildings, close to the swimming pool, Le Pavillon is a restored single-storey outbuilding offering approximately 106 m2 of accommodation. It contains five bedrooms, each with direct access to the outside.
All five rooms are fitted with reversible air conditioning. Their independent arrangement makes them suitable for accommodating visitors, groups or guests attending events held at the estate, subject to the relevant regulations and permissions.
Reception Hall and Further Outbuildings
- A former barn has been converted into a reception hall of approximately 200 m2, classified as an establishment open to the public. It includes a catering area of approximately 45 m2, together with a storeroom.
Above, an attic extending to approximately 330 m2 offers potential to enlarge the reception facilities, subject to the necessary permissions, technical feasibility and applicable regulations. This substantial space provides an opportunity for a future owner to consider how best to develop the property's existing event-related facilities.
The estate also includes a building described as a Landes-style farmhouse, with a total floor area of approximately 316 m2, including a 142 m2 covered area.
A dovecote adds further architectural interest to the collection of outbuildings.
Together, these buildings provide considerable flexibility for storage, ancillary activities and potential further development.
Swimming Pool and Grounds
The estate extends to approximately 5.86 hectares (14.48 acres) of fully enclosed land, with the buildings arranged within established landscaped grounds.
The park features mature trees, flower beds and lawns, creating an attractive setting around the residence. The cypress-lined avenue is a defining feature of the approach, providing a formal entrance and a strong sense of arrival.
Approximately half the land is occupied by the buildings, parkland and lawns. The remainder comprises around 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of woodland and 2 hectares (4.94 acres) of meadows, offering a balance between landscaped gardens and more natural surroundings.
A swimming pool measuring 11 x 5 m is set within the grounds, with a large surrounding terrace and two nearby pergolas providing shaded areas for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. A storage shed completes the pool facilities.
The nearby Canal latéral à la Garonne is accessible directly via a path from the property, providing a pleasant additional feature for walks and outdoor recreation.
Potential
With its restored 18th-century residence, independent guest house, five additional bedrooms in Le Pavillon, reception hall and extensive outbuildings, this estate offers considerable scope for a combined residential and hospitality project.
The existing facilities could suit a private residence with guest accommodation, a gîte business, or a venue for weddings, celebrations, seminars and other events, subject to the necessary permissions and regulatory requirements. The substantial attic above the reception hall also offers potential for further development.
The combination of historic character, established accommodation, event facilities and enclosed parkland makes this a versatile property in a convenient location between Bordeaux and Toulouse.
