Full of charm and character is this beautifully restored 11 bedroom, 11th Century Manor House with two gites and outbuildings, nestling in over 3 acres of glorious land with pool, while enjoying wonderful countryside views from its ideal location near all amenities in Casteljaloux.

This imposing and elegant property has been transformed and enlarged over the years, and is now presented in its 18th century livery. It is situated in the Lot et Garonne region at the gateway to Casteljaloux, a holiday destination due to its perfect location.

Set away from view, near the amenities of a medium-sized town, its infrastructure, its cultural, historical and heritage wealth, all contribute to the well-being of the local population. Bright and authentically restored with noble materials and all the modern comforts, the remarkable elements have been preserved.

Built on two levels, and comprising of a round tower and a square tower, it has a living area of 735 m2 (7,535 sq ft), distributed as follows :

On the ground floor is a large main entrance, two living rooms, a dining room, two bedrooms each with its own bathroom and WC, a study, a kitchen, a pantry, a storeroom, a WC, access to the cellars and a secondary entrance giving access to an inner courtyard lined with a flowerbed decorated with old roses.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases, one of which is a large blonde Hungarian oak staircase and the other is a spiral walnut staircase.

On the first floor are four bedrooms with bathroom, two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, a very large bedroom, 3 WCs, and a walk in wardrobe.

This property also includes two other dwellings, a guest house of 50 m2 consisting of a single room with kitchen area, dining area, sleeping area and shower room with access to the courtyard and garden.

A caretaker's house of 80 m2 (861 sq ft) in the extension of the main building with its small garden overlooking the valley, comprising of a living room with a large fireplace and a kitchen area to be converted, a bedroom and a bathroom in the square tower.

Various outbuildings make up the property, roofs have been redone and can be converted into gites, namely a stable, a cowshed, a pigeon-house-porch, a bread oven, a barn and a bright workshop.

The well-maintained garden with its three hundred year old trees overlooks the Avance valley with a 180 degree view. The relaxation area is reached through a 16th century monastic gate. Here there is a 6m x 12m swimming pool which extends over 300 m2 of terrace in complete privacy. Finally, a 1ha orchard below the facade completes the property.

The opening of five guest rooms as well as the guest house and the caretaker's cottage provide income that largely covers the running costs of the property.

Ideally situated, the Manor is only 5 km from the A62 motorway (Bordeaux-Toulouse) and 10 km from all shops, various services, train station, casino, golf course, spa and equestrian centre, restaurants and bars.

Buying a Property in France

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.

The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.

Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit

Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion

Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.

During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
