Villa in Clairac, Lot-et-Garonne

Exclusive to beaux villages! An imposing, stone-built character estate set within 120 acres of pristine private parkland, offering immense potential and a wealth of possibilities. 

Ideally located just a few minutes’ drive from the charming riverside town of Tonneins, the estate benefits from easy access to all amenities, including a railway station with direct connections to Bordeaux in approximately one hour, lively weekly markets, shops, cafés and supermarkets. With its excellent transport links, the estate also provides an ideal base from which to explore the region’s historic villages and cultural treasures, while offering easy access to the international airports of Bordeaux and Toulouse.

The principal residence is an elegant "manor house" that captures the timeless allure of a classic period home. Boasting grand proportions, tall windows, high ceilings, and light-filled rooms, the home offers a refined elegance perfectly suited to its majestic surroundings. The welcoming entrance hall leads to the ground-floor living spaces, which include a private office, a separate lounge, and an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area. 

An original stone staircase ascends to the first-floor landing, revealing two luxurious master suites, two further generous bedrooms, and an additional shower room with a WC. Above, a sprawling loft featuring magnificent exposed timber beams presents the perfect canvas for additional guest rooms or a bespoke art studio. 

While a traditional wood stove in the lounge provides cosy winter ambiance, the home is equipped with a sophisticated central heating system powered by a wood-fired boiler and modern heat pumps, which also service the swimming pool. Externally, a private terrace flows seamlessly from the kitchen, leading to an alfresco dining area and a 12-meter covered swimming pool. 

A second local-stone dwelling provides an excellent opportunity to establish a premium holiday let (possible gite - subject to necessary permissions) or independent guest accommodation for family and friends . Additional outbuildings include traditional stone barns, offering ample space for storage, livestock, machinery, or a workshop. 

The fully enclosed grounds comprise mature plantations of pine, acacia, and truffle oaks, interspersed with sweeping lawns—vast enough to accommodate the landing of small aircraft. This untouched sanctuary serves as a peaceful haven for local wildlife, including deer and native birds. 

This magnificent estate is an exceptional find, ideal for buyers seeking an exclusive private residence, a boutique eco-tourism venture, or a premier wedding venue.
