Valence d'Agen, Midi-Pyrénées 82400

A castle of medieval origin to be restored, in a dominant position, with a terrace, gardens, outbuildings and land in the southern Quercy Blanc sector. A wide gate with slender railings framed by two square, white stone columns mark the entrance to the estate. A lane lined on one side by cedars leads up through the castle's grounds, winding between the first outbuildings: to the left, a barn and to the right a multi-purpose livestock building. Once past them, the three-storey, north-south oriented, former fortress appears, built on a rock at the top of a hillside. It is adorned with a staircase tower containing a spiral staircase and is topped by a dovecote. Its facades, steeped in its history whose traces date back to the 11th century, are mainly made of stone interspersed with bricks and are regularly punctuated by primarily rectangular windows beneath a hipped roof made of barrel tiles. It is surrounded by partially enclosed gardens and, to the south, by a lawned and tree-lined terrace. Lastly, behind the second outbuilding, an agricultural storage building completes the property's edifices.
