Set in the heart of a protected Natura 2000 area and overlooking an 11th-century tower, this remarkable country estate enjoys an exceptionally privileged setting.

Behind their historic facades lies a high-quality renovation, carefully designed to provide modern comfort while preserving the character and soul of the property.
Upon entering the main house, your attention is immediately drawn upstairs, where the principal living accommodation has been designed to make the most of the spectacular views. Two impressive reception rooms with magnificent vaulted ceilings are flooded with natural light and open onto generous balconies overlooking the surrounding countryside. A fully fitted kitchen complements these elegant living spaces.
This level also includes a bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, together with a second shower room.
The ground floor is dedicated to the sleeping accommodation. The spacious principal suite features a walk in wardrobe, a private shower room and direct access to an elegant covered terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and its beautiful surroundings. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while two further bedrooms share a third shower room. A large games room with bar, a utility room and a workshop complete this level, providing generous space for entertaining or enjoying time with family.
A short stroll away, the guest house naturally extends the charm of the estate. It offers a welcoming sitting room opening onto a covered terrace, a kitchen with fireplace, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The spacious attic also provides further potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.
Outside, every feature has been carefully positioned to make the most of this exceptional setting. The heated saltwater infinity pool blends effortlessly into the surrounding landscape, while the Jacuzzi invites you to relax and admire the ever-changing views. The terraces, shaded seating areas and large fire pit create several wonderful outdoor living spaces, perfect for enjoying the relaxed lifestyle of South-West France.
The estate extends across just under four hectares of beautifully maintained gardens, meadows and natural grounds, ensuring privacy, tranquillity and complete immersion in nature.
While the property's historic character is immediately apparent, its technical features are thoroughly modern, including geothermal underfloor heating installed in 2014, double glazing, electric entrance gates, CCTV surveillance and an excellent energy rating (Energy Performance Rating: B / A).
An outstanding level of efficiency for a home of this period, with annual running costs of approximately EUR4,000, including electricity.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
