Property details

Standing proudly above the Lot valley, with superb views over the river, this magnificent 13th-century medieval château, classified as a historic monument in 1995, is located just 15 minutes from Cajarc and Figeac.

Lovingly renovated from a virtual ruin, the château now boasts an elegant lounge/grand dining room with open fireplace, original stone floors and acces out to the landscaped garden and pool area as well as to the private courtyard. Adjoining this, there is a spacious, well equipped kitchen with garden and courtyard access. Beyond this there is a large boiler room/laundry area with separate WC, a large workshop with double doors to the courtyard and above this, a gorgeous, high ceilinged crafts workshop room with mezzanine and an office next door.

The bedrooms are reached by the circular stone starircase in the tower. There are 3, en suite bedrooms at first floor level and a further 2 en suite bedrooms at second floor level. Here also, there is a comfortable library/lounge/TV room just made for relaxing.

More steps take you up to the huge and spacious double loft areas at the top of the tower which could be converted to provide more accommodation (subject to necessary permissions). (The history of the property is in evidence on this level, where an overhanging gallery/balcony at the top of the walls with openings at the bottom, allowed projectiles to be dropped on to assailants).

Outside in the private, well landscaped garden, there is a 9 X 4m swimming pool with a telescopic cover. Magnificent views along the river Lot can be enjoyed from here.

In the enclosed courtyard there is also a two storey, stone barn with two horse boxes, an open garage for parking two vehicles and another large garage attached to the main house.

Whilst steeped in medieval history, this château has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated to provide spacious, light and comfortable accommodation. Situated in a pretty hamlet, it offers seclusion, privacy and magnificent views yet is within easy reach of shops and services.

A visit is highly recommended to this stunning property!
