Aquitaine, Lot-et-Garonne, Monflanquin, France

Historic French chateau with origins going back to the 13th century, set on an ancient Roman road in the Lot et Garonne area, set in almost 7 acres with equestrian facilities and income potential.

This castle, steeped in history could according to legend, house the Templars' treasure.

Restored in 1810 by a Bonapartist owner, it is distinguished by its decor, stucco work and effigies celebrating Napoleon I, which has earned it its listing as a Historic Monument and the associated benefits.

Completely renovated in 2000 to operate as a bed and breakfast and holiday accommodation, this intimate chateau offers 4 family suites with en-suite bathrooms, 2 bright bedrooms with shower rooms, as well as a converted attic comprising 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a wc, with potential for further extension.

The living areas feature three elegant reception rooms, a large, bright, fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace, and a spacious utility room serving as a laundry and boiler room.

The property sits atop beautiful, fully restored vaulted cellars.

The estate extends over grounds approaching 3 hectares planted with 200-year-old trees, featuring a 19th-century family chapel 100 metres away, surrounded by majestic cedars.

The outbuildings include a 250 m2 barn with horse stalls.

There are also other outbuildings and parts of the chateau that could be converted and restored (subject to the necessary permissions).

A private, secure swimming pool, sheltered from view, and a shaded inner courtyard complete the property.

This rare property offers a wide range of possibilities, whether as a family home, a tourist business or for creating a charming hotel complex, and represents a unique opportunity.
