Authentic 13th-century château with gîtes, barn and swimming pool

Overlooking the rolling countryside of the Lot-et-Garonne, this remarkable 13th-century château enjoys a privileged setting within approximately 2 hectares of private grounds, just a short distance from the lively bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Reached via a quiet country lane, the property offers peace, privacy and beautiful uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape.

Originally built as the country residence of the King’s Consul, the château has retained all of its authentic character. High beamed ceilings, stone walls, period fireplaces and generous proportions reflect its medieval history, while modern comforts have been discreetly incorporated. Surrounding the château are three independent, fully equipped gîtes, each with its own atmosphere and private outdoor spaces, making it possible to combine private living with a holiday rental activity.

The outdoor areas are arranged around a charming courtyard and include a large heated saltwater swimming pool, several terraces with panoramic views, and an inviting outdoor area with a wood-burning stove and pizza oven. From the estate, the views stretch far across the surrounding countryside, where roe deer, hares, squirrels and birds of prey are regularly seen. As dusk falls, bats appear and the barn owl, which has made its home in the château’s small tower, glides silently over the grounds.

The property also includes a large barn offering excellent potential, currently used as a workshop and workspace and easily adaptable for creative, professional or leisure activities. A vegetable garden, various outbuildings and characterful stone remains complete the property.

Combining historic charm, an unspoilt natural setting and genuine rental potential, this unique estate offers a rare opportunity to fully embrace the French way of life in one of the most beautiful regions of south-west France.
