Lot-et-Garonne – Château Napoléon III on a plot of 7.4

An exceptional location for this Napoleon III style château, situated in the Lot-et-Garonne, 40 minutes from the magnificent city of Bordeaux, its international airport, and the TGV high-speed train to Paris. The château itself is approached through an ornate electric gate, and a paved driveway lined with mature trees leads to this privileged property.
The current owners, who have renovated the properties, have successfully combined the original character of the buildings with contemporary living features such as geothermal heating in all three properties, double-glazed security windows, and a swimming pool for each property, as well as stables and a garage for several vehicles.

The main castle features an entrance hall with original Victorian tiled flooring, a bespoke kitchen, a breakfast room, a living room, a dining room with an original marble fireplace, a study with a marble fireplace, a library (located in the tower), a ground-floor double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a storage room, and a utility room. On the first floor, a large, bright, and airy landing opens onto a balcony with French doors at one end. There are five double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a further family bathroom. On the second floor, there are two further large rooms of 50 sq m each, currently used as bedrooms but easily converted into playrooms. There is also a contemporary 30 sq m family bathroom on this level.

Outside, the grounds are primarily lawn, and the owners have planted over 1,000 trees around the property boundaries to create a mini-forest. The stables and garage are located at the rear of the château, between the main house and the two gîtes. A 4m x 15m Provençal-style swimming pool sits on the side of the elevation.
The gîtes have been renovated to the same high standards as the main property and feature geothermal heating and individual swimming pools. They have been designed with architectural flair and offer a sense of light and air. The gîtes are accessed via their own private driveway with private parking. Each gîte has a kitchen/living/dining area, and all bedrooms have their own contemporary en-suite shower room.

This castle offers someone the opportunity to live in a historic building that has been luxuriously renovated to the highest standards, with existing seasonal rental income if desired. A video is available on our website.
