Some properties stand out for their architecture. Others for their history. This château combines both aspects with rare elegance.

Built around 1850 by Pierre Lodoïs de la Roche, this iconic château in Lot-et-Garonne has stood the test of time, preserving its identity and character. Remaining in the same family line for over 140 years, passed down from generation to generation, it was notably the residence of General de Barescut and his wife, the heiress to the estate. A privileged witness to an era when grand mansions shaped local life, the château still bears the mark of this unique history today.

Following a complete restoration of remarkable quality, the property has regained its former splendour. Every detail has been meticulously considered to preserve the authenticity of the premises whilst offering the comfort and refinement expected of a contemporary luxury residence. The generous spaces, abundant natural light and elegant décor create an atmosphere that is at once warm, refined and timeless.

Behind its majestic façade, the château boasts magnificent living and reception areas. Seven en-suite bedrooms, all tastefully furnished, offer exceptional comfort. An elegant reception lounge, a characterful dining room, a spacious hall dedicated to private or professional events, and a welcoming breakfast room combine to form a setting perfectly suited to a prestigious family residence as well as a high-end hotel or event venue.

The estate covers nearly five hectares of landscaped grounds, a true haven of unspoilt nature. Majestic trees, vast lawns and idyllic views surround the property in absolute tranquillity. The swimming pool blends harmoniously into this idyllic setting, inviting relaxation and contemplation.

Two separate outbuildings complete this rare property. Each houses a one-bedroom apartment comprising a living room, a kitchen and a private terrace, offering quality accommodation for guests or clients seeking privacy and tranquillity.

At the far end of the grounds, with its own separate entrance, an authentic stone house of approximately 80 m² awaits restoration. This building offers a wealth of potential uses: a guest house, a charming holiday cottage, a studio or a separate residence.

This château is much more than just a property; it is a place steeped in history and emotion, where the prestige of heritage meets the excellence of a contemporary restoration. A rare residence, ideal for lovers of fine architecture and history buffs seeking an exceptional estate offering a unique lifestyle and remarkable potential.

A private retreat where elegance, history and the French art of living are expressed in all their splendour.

Just a few minutes from Agen and its TGV station, in the heart of a region renowned for its relaxed way of life, this château represents a rare heritage opportunity on the market for historic French properties.
