17th Century Castle With Outbuildings Near Labastide d'Armagnac

About the Property

A 17th-century castle, extensively renovated in the 18th and 19th centuries, set within a picturesque landscape in the Landes region of France. This property, covering approximately 650 m², is located just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Bordeaux and a mere 5 minutes from the fortified town of Labastide d'Armagnac. The estate features outbuildings and meadows, providing a serene environment. The castle, originally built in 1662, stands on the site of a former medieval stronghold belonging to the Viscount de Juliac and has been owned by illustrious families since 785. The approach to the property is marked by two solid ashlar pillars topped with eagles, leading to a long drive that is flanked by expansive meadows, creating a natural barrier from the nearby country road. The drive splits, with one path leading to the former main entrance porch, a remnant of the original castle, while the other directs visitors to the courtyard, which is enclosed by two oblong outbuildings arranged in an L-shape. The main building, slightly elevated, boasts three light-filled stories with a rational layout on the ground floor, ideal for hosting guests. The upper floors present an opportunity for modernization to meet contemporary comfort standards. A lawned area to the east of the residence complements the reception rooms, while additional modest buildings, once used for staff, extend from the storehouse, awaiting restoration. Price: €590,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Agence Immobilière le Hyaric.
