13th Century Château With Historical Significance Overlooking The River Garonne

About the Property

A listed 13th-century château, requiring full restoration, majestically overlooks the River Garonne valley in the Lot-et-Garonne department of France. Originally constructed by the counts of Gascony, this historic edifice, dating back to the French Renaissance around the year 1500, stands on a rocky hill that once surrounded an ancestral vineyard. The château retains significant medieval features, including towers and arrow slits, and has survived the tumult of the French Wars of Religion. The elegant, symmetrically designed structure showcases the rich heritage of Gascony, with remnants of its storied past evident in its stone walls and slate roofs. The estate includes a chapel and outbuildings, with parts of the château listed as a historical monument since 1989, and nationally recognized since 1991. The listed elements encompass the elevations, roofs, fireplaces, and architectural remnants within the grounds, as well as the painted ceilings of the first-floor bedrooms. The property is currently available for large-scale restoration, offering a unique opportunity to revive a gem of built heritage, with the added benefit of a specific French tax scheme for protected historical monuments, allowing for certain expenses to be tax-deductible.
