Luxuriously Restored Medieval Castle With Bed And Breakfast Accommodation

About the Property

A medieval castle with luxuriously restored, furnished bed and breakfast accommodation, set within 35 hectares of woods and a truffle oak grove, located on the outskirts of a village in the Lot-et-Garonne region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This impressive estate encompasses two separate buildings, a small lake, and a swimming pool, all nestled within a landscape dominated by 1,450 truffle oaks. The castle, dating back to the 15th century, presents an imposing yet welcoming façade, oriented north-south and accessible via a grand stoop flanked by two towers. The quadrangular structure features four storeys and immense cellars on the garden level, constructed from rendered stone and topped with a roof of half-round tiles. Renovations in the 18th and 19th centuries, alongside a more recent interior restoration, have modernized the castle while preserving its historical charm. The current occupant, an American interior decorator, has infused the residence with comfort and tasteful decoration. The bailey, approximately three meters high, once boasted up to four towers, with one retaining its conical shape. The windows of the residence and watch towers have been modified to enhance views of the surrounding countryside. Farm buildings to the north and west, likely dating from the 19th century, include a small converted chapel, now transformed into a separate house. A stone well graces the paved courtyard, surrounded by century-old trees and a vast meadow. Adjacent to the castle, a recently constructed swimming pool with stone decking offers a serene retreat.
