on the central square of the first bastide town in the agenais region, founded in 1246, stands this majestic character property with its period yellow façade decorated with trompe-l′oeil imitating red brick. sheltered under its historic arcades, this house, built in 1837, bears witness to the rich past of the village, where the famous guyenne grain fairs were once held. this property of nearly 600m² on three levels once housed a hotel that brought life to the central square. even today, the soul of this place still vibrates in its remarkable ballroom and theater, which have been preserved.
on the ground floor, a superb entrance hall separates a living room, formerly the village bar and restaurant, the kitchen, the dining room, and the ballroom/theater with its original galleries, which once allowed spectators to watch performances from above. the two upper floors reveal seven bedrooms, two huge living rooms with preserved period decor, a cinema room with a rear projector, and a sublime south-facing terrace with unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. the property also includes a second house of approximately 110m² with a basement and attic, just waiting to be joined to the main house to create an exceptionally spacious home. both houses have access to the garden, a true haven of peace in the heart of the medieval village.
this rare heritage property, requiring complete renovation with multiple development possibilities, is an opportunity to acquire a piece of history in one of the most remarkable bastides in the lot-et-garonne, where every stone tells the story of nearly eight centuries of history. as8-293 - périgord sotheby′s realty - +33 (0)5 53 35 97 60
