Agen, Aquitaine 47000

At the gates of Agen, a 19th-century château with a 5-hectare tree-lined park, outbuildings, a swimming pool, a pool house, and a troglodyte space. The château appears at the end of a driveway that traverses a park of nearly 5 hectares. Built in the 19th century, it occupies a central position within the estate. The park, remarkably well maintained, combines lawns, tall trees, and southern woodlands that ensure total privacy with no overlooking neighbors. The slightly elevated situation offers a pleasant view over the roofs of Agen and the surrounding hills. The château itself, with a surface area of about 500 m², displays a sober Second Empire architecture, with ashlar stone façades and two towers, whose roofs have been recently redone. The whole is in very good general condition thanks to rigorous maintenance. The interior, spread over four levels, is organized around a classic reception sequence. An entrance hall, dining room, living room and kitchen follow one another on the ground floor, where a large glass roof runs over two levels and harmoniously connects the two wings of the building. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the upper floors. One bedroom and its sanitary facilities are located on the garden level. They adjoin a relaxation suite with a spa, billiards room and winter lounge, alongside the usual staff areas, boiler room, cellar and storage spaces. The estate includes three outbuildings. The first, known as the guest or caretakers house, is undergoing rearrangement. A few finishing works will be sufficient to make it an autonomous dwelling. It consists of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The second outbuilding is a workshop for DIY and garden maintenance. The third brings together a large garage and a vast gym with a shower, nearly complete. A pool house completes the surroundings of a swimming pool. Inserted into the cliff, an original troglodyte room adds a singular touch to the whole.
