Description
Authentic 13th-century castle with gîtes, barn, and swimming pool in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne hills. Overlooking the rolling countryside of Lot-et-Garonne, this remarkable 13th-century castle enjoys a privileged location on approximately 2 hectares of private land, a short distance from the lively bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Accessible via a quiet country lane, the property offers peace, privacy, and superb unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. Originally built as a country residence for the King's Consul, the castle has retained all its original character. High ceilings with exposed beams, stone walls, period fireplaces, and spacious rooms bear witness to its medieval history, while modern comforts have been discreetly integrated. Around the castle are three independent and fully equipped gîtes, each with its own unique atmosphere and outdoor spaces, allowing for a perfect blend of privacy and holiday rentals. The grounds are arranged around a charming courtyard and include a large saltwater swimming pool, several terraces offering panoramic views, and a convivial space with a wood-burning stove and pizza oven. From the estate, the gaze sweeps across the surrounding countryside, where it is not uncommon to spot deer, hares, squirrels, and birds of prey. At dusk, bats appear, and the barn owl, nesting in the small castle tower, glides silently above the estate. The property also includes a large barn with great potential, currently used as a workshop and workspace, easily adaptable for creative, professional, or leisure activities. A vegetable garden, various outbuildings, and characterful stone remains complete the ensemble. Combining historic charm, a preserved natural environment, and genuine rental potential, this unique estate offers a rare opportunity to fully experience the French art of living in one of the most beautiful regions of southwest France.
