A stately and immense 19th-century neoclassical-style dwelling, its outbuildings and 2 6-hectare grounds near Villeneuve-sur-Lot. This eye-catching property is composed of a stately manor house constructed in 1857 according to the standards in place for 19th-century manor houses. Belonging to the same family for more than six generations, from above, the dwelling, located in the middle of the property, blends in harmoniously with its surrounding tree-filled estate of 2.5 hectares, the latter of which is bordered to the north by a road and shielded from view thanks to a ring of multi-century trees. The property is accessible from a gate that opens onto a gravel drive, curving gracefully all the way to the manor's main façade where it widens to create a formal courtyard, before circumventing the building in order to provide access to the outbuildings. With an orderly exterior cadenced by delicately sculpted vertical rows of windows and ashlar stone quoins, this rectangular three-storey main building, completely symmetrical, was constructed out of local limestone, while its main façade, facing south towards the garden, is organised around a curved double staircase, which leads to a patio safeguarded by a stone balustrade. With a barrel tile hipped roof, adorned with decorative pediments and carved stone chimneys, the main dwelling faces, to the north, a group of outbuildings that includes an ancient open-air barn, independent accommodations in need of a renovation, a chicken coop and a tobacco drying shed. Classically composed and highlighting the manor's impressive architectural coherence, which has been carefully conserved over the centuries, the property's verdant grounds contain a stream and a waterfall to the east, an immense meadow encircled by a walking path and a row of trees to the south, while a well bears witness to the property's original hydraulic autonomy.
