Majestic Hilltop Chateau plus Guardians..

Sat atop this knoll and commanding stunning views over the sunflower fields of the wonderful countryside that surrounds it, this chateau offers the ultimate in civilised living. The formal south terrace basks in sun all day, whilst the west terrace has a more garden feel - colourful and fragrant flowers, shady trees - and includes the covered terrace. The 12m x 4m pool is an idyllic spot to laze the day away. Inside there are ample formal reception rooms, two studies, and six bedrooms in the main chateau, plus three-bedroomed guest cottage and one bedroomed staff apartment. The nearby 16th century barn has been fully restored, and now offers 5 top quality stables and ample storage for estate management equipment.

Surrounded by 25 hectares of land including formal garden, fenced paddocks, woodland and a walnut plantation, it is located just a couple of kilometres from the local village. Chateau is a blissful rural retreat, yet is still easily accessible from Agen and Toulouse. (reference: R000286)
