Prayssas, Aquitaine 47360

A stately, Italian-inspired dwelling, its outbuildings, garden and patio with views of the Lot River, on 4 7 hectares of grounds, not far from a village in the middle of the Lot-et-Garonne department. Accessible via the B road located below, the three-storey edifice, set back from the road and up on a hill, overlooks the country lane and stands out from the surrounding vegetation thanks to its eye-catching white, yellow and red exterior, imposing stature and seven vertical rows of windows. A low red brick wall, skilfully made and bearing the name of the property, indicates the entrance to the estate, while the tarmacked drive, lined by two rows of catalpa trees, winds its way up the hill and eventually terminates on the right side of the manor. In addition, a hedge of cherry laurels partially conceals the caretaker's cottage, which one must pass in order to access the esplanade, a vast gravel courtyard extending in front of the entire house.Parking is possible here, unless one prefers to enjoy unobstructed views of the valley and parks their vehicle on the other side of the manor, either in the garage or on a grassy area reserved for this purpose, near the lane lined with lime trees. The latter, approximately 100 metres long and perfect for strolling, leads to a wooden gloriette, while the outbuilding, located on this side of the dwelling, includes a garage, wine cellar and dovecote.As for the landscaped grounds, they extend towards the front of the property, while the pasture and ornamental garden are located on the side. With several fruit and ornamental trees scattered throughout, the Italian-inspired terraced garden covers a large portion of the grounds in front of the manor, whereas, in the back, a wooded hillside provides welcome natural protection. Lastly, the swimming pool, located on the first terraced garden level, is partially hidden by thickets of shrubs.
