An Urban Chateau Dating Back To 1930 With An Outhouse, A Swimming Pool And Tree Dotted Grounds

An urban chateau dating back to 1930 with an outhouse, a swimming pool and tree-dotted grounds, nestled by the town of Cahors in south-west France, in the country’s Lot department. The property’s entrance is at the top of a hill that looks down at a shopping zone of Cahors. The chateau was built upon a hill.

The plot’s outer retaining wall, with its remarkable height and strength, is impressive. A former water tower made of brick welcomes visitors like a sentry positioned at the edge of the plot. A drive leads downwards and a meadow of horses extends on the other side of it.

Beyond a long bend and the first trees, an esplanade, used for parking, comes into view. Across its gravelled ground, you can easily reach the stone terraces that surround the chateau. The chateau was built in 1930 in a style that recalls the elegance and harmony of classical French architecture.

It offers a floor area of 455m². With its pure-white elevations and the perfect symmetry of its south-facing facade that looks out at the tree-dotted grounds, which cover over a hectare, the edifice seems to have been taken straight out of a picture book. Natural light shines through age-old trees with effects that vary from season to season.

Bucolic views from each window in the dwelling embrace these majestic trees. On the grounds, there is a swimming pool and an elegant outhouse that could be turned into a workshop, a guesthouse or a garage.
