Property details

Just a few minutes from the charming village of Montcuq, in the heart of unspoilt countryside, this remarkable 38-hectare estate offers a rare and versatile combination of elegance, privacy and creative potential.

A long private driveway leads to a stunning 18th-century château, renovated between 2022 and 2025 to an exceptional standard, blending period character with modern comfort. The ground floor opens onto a grand entrance hall, a welcoming living room with fireplace, and a superb Gaggenau kitchen with Dekton countertops, its own fireplace, dining area and generous openings onto the grounds. An intimate lounge and library, two spacious en suite bedrooms and a study complete this level. On the first floor, a luxurious master suite with dressing room sits alongside two further en suite bedrooms, two additional bedrooms and a discreet independent 60m² apartment ? ideal for staff or extended family.

Outside, a large secure swimming pool with Roman steps sits harmoniously within the landscape.
A creative and entrepreneurial vision
What truly sets this estate apart is its exceptional range of specialist facilities. The 120m² professional recording studio retains its full soundproofing, acoustic treatment, voice recording booth and post-production space ? ready to operate at a high level. Alongside it, a 180m² artist's studio floods with natural light and offers spectacular proportions equally suited to visual arts, design, photography or any professional creative use.

For those drawn to land stewardship and self-sufficiency, the estate is exceptionally well equipped. A private lake and dedicated agricultural water supply support the land, while the working barn houses two tractors, a 24-tonne log splitter and a rotavator ? everything required to work and maintain the grounds from day one. The conditions for a serious permaculture or sustainable living project are rarely found in such combination.

The wider estate includes a stone guest house of approximately 90m², a fully renovated caretaker's apartment and a former water mill awaiting restoration. The grounds encompass private woodland, open meadows and natural springs ? pristine, peaceful and beautifully preserved.

Ideally located between Lauzerte and Castelnau-Montratier, both within 10 to 15 minutes, with Cahors 30 minutes, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport just over an hour, and Agen's private aviation facilities 45 minutes away.
