Exceptional 19th-Century Château in Nouvelle Aquitaine – Lot & Garonne (47)

Set in a commanding position overlooking the verdant Lot Valley, this elegant 19th-century château offers a rare opportunity to own a stately home in the heart of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, near the Périgord and Quercy regions.

Dating back to 1830, this three-story château is constructed with stone walls and tiled roofs, symmetrically designed around a central axis. Thanks to its east-southwest orientation, the property is bathed in natural light throughout the day and boasts sweeping panoramic views of the hilly countryside, while the north-facing rooms overlook a lovely grove.

One of the château’s unique architectural features is the top floor’s exterior, crowned by a central capital with a bull's-eye window and a small balcony.

Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a large, bright hall highlighted by a grand oak staircase. This entrance sets the tone for the rest of the residence, showcasing magnificent flooring, ornate cast iron radiators, and detailed ceiling moldings.
