About the Property

A historic château with a 1,200 m² floor area, set within 14 hectares of grounds, located near the charming town of Lectoure in France. This property, dating back to the 19th century, features spacious outbuildings and is approached via a country road, offering a serene retreat between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The château, originally constructed in the Middle Ages during the reign of the lords of Armagnac, is surrounded by a gravel terrace and features a chapel at its eastern end. A wing of annexes extends to the west, flanked by a tower crowned with a windmill, which housed a remarkable mechanism invented by Élie Coulange that provided running water to the estate in the late 19th century. The south and east walls are adorned with ornamental gardens, including an ornamental pond and bronze vestals commissioned by the notable countess Marie-Jacqueline de Biran d’Armagnac. A swimming pool, discreetly positioned behind hedges, offers a clear view of the picturesque countryside. The grounds are equally impressive, punctuated by wells, water-filled moats, and a variety of age-old trees, including a majestic line of cedars along a long path. The property also includes a caretaker's lodge, workshop, dovecote, and expansive barns, with some structures partially renovated but requiring further restoration.
