Agen, Aquitaine 47000

In the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne region, between Penne-d'Agenais and Monflanquin, two of South-West France's most beautiful heritage villages, this 19th-century château offers approximately 700 m² (7,535 sq ft) of living space set within 4.8 hectares (11.86 acres) of gardens, woodland and meadows. Passed down through the same family for nearly 140 years, this character-filled estate has undergone a complete renovation between 2023 and 2024. Today, it combines the charm of its rich history with the comfort and quality of a recent restoration. Arranged around a central residence flanked by two wings, the château offers sixteen principal rooms, including ten bedrooms and nine bathrooms, distributed between the main house and two charming indépendant guests cottages. Generous volumes, abundant natural light, impressive ceiling heights and far-reaching views create an atmosphere that is both peaceful and refined. Equally suited as a private family residence, a hospitality venture or an events venue, the property features an elegant dining room, a dedicated breakfast area and a reception hall designed for private gatherings. Its exceptional tranquillity and complete privacy provide the ideal setting for weddings, celebrations and special events. A 10 x 10 metre swimming pool, an outbuilding of approximately 150 m² (1,615 sq ft), a charming secondary building of 861sq ft, in need of restoration - believed to have once served as the estate's chapel - together with an attic, laundry room and wine cellar complete this rare offering. A landmark property in the area, the château was notably owned by the family of General de Barescut, who was awarded the French Légion d'Honneur for his heroic service during the Second World War. This family history, closely intertwined with the estate for almost a century and a half, continues to contribute to its unique character and enduring appeal. Just minutes from motorway access and a TGV high-speed rail station, this exceptional property offers an inspiring lifestyle where contemporary comfort, heritage, nature and tranquillity come together in rare harmony.
