A listed estate steeped in history including a chateau, outbuildings and 27 hectares of grounds with a romantic lake and a swimming pool in the Figeac region. The estate, which overlooks the entire Dournelle Valley, sits at the top of the hill above the village of Fons-en-Quercy, whose defence and prosperity it safeguarded for more than six centuries. It comprises a chateau of approx. 445 m² with two round towers of different diameters and periods, a residential farmhouse of approx. 120 m², an old farm building of approx. 160 m², and an impressive stable barn of approx. 828 m², formerly a stud, renowned throughout the region. The entire property, with a total floor area of almost 1,500 m² including the chateau, is listed.
A square dovecote spanning around 52 m² near the chateau, now used as a garage, and a round dovecote of around 29 m² bear witness to the importance of the former stronghold. The architectural diversity of this estate are a proud testimony to its tormented history, blending all periods from the 16th to the end of the 19th century. The finest building materials available in the region were used: stone from the Lot quarries, centuries-old oak trees for the roof timbers and parquet flooring, and terracotta roof tiles in a variety of shapes depending on the nature of the buildings to be covered.
The grounds, covering an area of 27 hectares, are totally private and boast a wealth of species and ancient trees. A narrow local road bisects the park. In addition to its vast water lily pond, nymphaeum, rock pool and grottoes, it includes a series of three “lavoirs” (laundry basins) fed by a natural warm spring. The hydraulic system of the grounds is listed as a historic monument.
