Exceptional Estate with Renovated 18th Century Château, Lake and 38 Hectares – Near Montcuq, Lot, South-West France
Just a few minutes from the charming village of Montcuq, in the heart of unspoilt countryside, this remarkable 38-hectare estate offers a rare blend of elegance, privacy and natural beauty.
A long private driveway leads to a stunning 18th-century château, renovated in 2024 to a high standard, combining period character with modern comfort. The ground floor opens onto a grand entrance hall, a welcoming living room with fireplace, and an exceptional fully equipped Gaggenau kitchen featuring its own fireplace, dining area and large openings onto the grounds. Two spacious en suite bedrooms and a study, which could easily be converted into an additional bedroom, complete this level.
A beautifully recreated period staircase leads to the first floor, where the layout has been thoughtfully redesigned. A cosy TV lounge introduces a luxurious master suite with dressing room and bathroom including a walk-in shower, alongside a further en suite bedroom. A discreet door leads to an independent apartment, ideal for staff or guests seeking privacy.
Outside, a large secure swimming pool with Roman steps blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
The estate is further enhanced by a range of high-quality outbuildings, including an attached utility and boiler area, a charming stone guest house of approximately 90 m² with potential for further development, a large barn partly converted into a workshop, a fully renovated caretaker’s apartment, and a dedicated music and recording studio. A former water mill in need of renovation adds further character and opportunity.
The grounds are truly exceptional, featuring woodland, open meadows, natural springs and a private lake, creating a peaceful and secluded setting while remaining easily accessible.
The property is ideally located near Lauzerte and Castelnau-Montratier, both within a 10 to 15-minute drive, offering local amenities, markets and a renowned quality of life.

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
