In the heart of Southwest France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, near the Périgord and Quercy regions, this unique property overlooks the Lot Valley. Located halfway between Agen (3 hours from Paris by direct TGV) and Villeneuve-sur-Lot, and close to Bergerac (airport), this elegant manor house, dating from 1830, sits on nearly 5 hectares of land. It includes a swimming pool, a caretaker's cottage, and numerous outbuildings, just 1 km from a village with all amenities.

General Description

Perched in a commanding position at the foot of a wooded hill, the property offers remarkable panoramic views over the Lot Valley. An elegant paved driveway lined with catalpa trees leads to the house, nestled within a landscaped park inspired by Italian gardens: Tuscan cypress trees, ponds adorned with water lilies, and statues create an exceptional setting.

The main building, approximately 30 meters long and 16 meters wide, rises three stories. Its Roman tile roof is new. A major renovation was first undertaken in the 1920s by a Colombian ambassador. More recently, extensive work has allowed for a complete modernization while respecting the historical character of the property.

Interiors

Generous proportions and abundant natural light characterize all the rooms. The ground floor features spacious reception areas: an entrance gallery adorned with cement tiles leads to a dining room with refined wood paneling and a fireplace, an office, a charming kitchen with an authentic fireplace and access to the terrace, and a laundry room.

An elegant English-style library with herringbone parquet flooring, a second office decorated with historical pyrography, and a large living room complete this level.

A remarkable suspended spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where a gallery provides access to seven bedrooms, four of which overlook the grounds, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, including one in the attic with spectacular views over the valley.

The meticulous and authentic renovations have earned the property an award from the Heritage Foundation.

Outbuildings and grounds

A charming, independent caretaker's cottage with terracotta tiles comprises a living room with a wood-burning stove, a bedroom, and a bathroom.

The grounds also feature:

* A large swimming pool (100 m³) with spacious terraces

* A wooden gazebo

* A substantial outbuilding housing a garage, wine cellar, and dovecote

Several parking spaces are available on the property.
