Exceptional historic estate on 6 hectares of picturesque countryside

From the moment you arrive at the property, the majestic 19th-century gate and long tree-lined driveway hint at the presence of a noble residence nestled within a lush park.

This historic property dating from the 14th to the 18th century, entirely decorated and renovated, exudes a gentle lifestyle surrounded by generous and soothing nature. The 6-hectare estate includes a 2-hectare park with centuries-old trees, cultivated land, and a meadow ideal for horses or other animals. A stream runs through the grounds, crossed by two small stone bridges, and the property also features a well and a natural spring.

The main façade of the manor house faces due south, with large windows framed in cut stone and a distinctive architectural element: a gnomonic sundial. In spring, several majestic climbing roses delight flower lovers. A beautiful double oak entrance door, typical of aristocratic residences of the 18th century, adorned with mouldings and its original knocker, welcomes you into the spacious central entrance hall paved with terracotta tiles, typical of Gascon homes. To the right lies a charming alcove lounge, and to the left a large office with its oak herringbone parquet flooring. At the rear of the house, overlooking the garden and the swimming pool, are a second living room, a drawing room, a large kitchen with dining area, and a utility room with toilet.

The oak Directoire staircase leads to the first floor, where the house offers a master suite with its bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub, separate WC and dressing room; a second suite with shower room; two further bedrooms, a nursery room, a small bathroom and an attic.

Attached to the manor house, the consecrated chapel with its painted vaulted ceiling, sculpture of the Virgin and Child topped with the Saint-James shell, and a magnificent orangery all recall the historical character of the property. Accessible from inside the house via the kitchen, the chapel also features a large double door opening onto the park on the pool side. The south-facing orangery, currently used as an artist's studio, could regain its original purpose or become a winter garden.

Extending from the manor house, the west wing was originally intended for the accommodation of the estate staff. This building has undergone a complete and substantial renovation. Only the walls, the roof structure, the original stone features and its unusual bell turret have been preserved. This section, which communicates with the manor house, also benefits from its own independent entrance. It includes a dining room with a superb 18th-century walnut fireplace and a calorifier, a living room with an extraordinary Regency-period fireplace, a kitchen and a pantry. Upstairs are two large suites, each with bathrooms featuring walk-in showers and separate toilets. This part enjoys its own Burgundy stone terrace and a private enclosed garden area, ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners. With its star jasmine and magnificent bougainvillea, this space becomes a charming secret garden during the warmer months.

Forming an “L” shape with the west wing, the pavilion is the most recent part of the property. Built in the 19th century, its original purpose was wine production as well as bread making. The building is remarkable with its decorative wooden valance and its magnificent semicircular stone openings fitted with wrought-iron frames crafted by an artisan blacksmith. The current owners have partially renovated the building and created, on the ground floor, a showroom for their art creations.

A 50 m² space with two bread ovens in excellent condition awaits the future owners' development projects. Access to the upper floor is via a splendid curved walnut staircase dating from the 19th century that has been beautifully restored. The partially renovated upper floor offers 104 m² of convertible space with beautiful exposed beams.

The outbuildings include a carport of rare elegance with cast-iron columns and an oak structure, a woodshed, and a 150 m² barn.

In addition, there is a garage and a cellar housing the excellent forest-chip (or wood-pellet) heating system, which is both economical and environmentally friendly.

The renovation work carried out on this property is of exceptional quality, with all period features carefully preserved and enhanced.
