A Grand Siècle château in the heart of Chalosse

Built in 1680 during the reign of Louis XIV, this authentic 17th-century château sits within a private park of over three hectares in the heart of Chalosse. A long private drive, with no through traffic, serves the property and affords it remarkable tranquillity, privacy and security.

9 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 550 m² of living space · 3.01 ha ·

Location & access

The château is situated in Hagetmau, in the Landes (40), in the Aquitaine region. The medieval town of Saint-Sever and its UNESCO-listed abbey are 10 minutes away. The Landes beaches are approximately one hour away, and the Pyrenees ski resorts are around 90 minutes away.

Interior

The château spreads 550 m² of living space across three levels and retains numerous period features: hand-carved stone fireplaces, polished chestnut panelling, characterful staircases and vast reception rooms flooded with natural light and countryside views. The property also conceals a secret passage, a former chapel and original Napoleonic graffiti.

Since 2002, the château has undergone careful renovation including oil-fired central heating, updated electrics and plumbing, and fibre-optic installation.
