Between the Garonne and the Lot, a maison de maître for sale in Lot-et-Garonne takes on the colour of pink brick or limestone, with front steps, shutters and a dovecote nearby: it was the home of wine-store owners, prune producers, grain merchants and the magistrates of Agen, Marmande and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. This section takes a wider view: all the fine residences of the department, notables' houses, contemporary villas and architect-designed properties, belong here as soon as the living space exceeds 300 m² or the price nears a million euros, provided they are neither chateaux, nor manor houses, nor historic monuments. Here are the maisons de maître and fine residences for sale listed by private owners, agencies and notaries.
The page presents real price benchmarks for the large residences of the Agen area, the type of properties on sale at the moment, the palette of local materials, the districts where supply is concentrated and the checks to make before committing, with particular attention to floods and clay soils.

Maisons de maître form the core of the segment tracked by our observatory: houses with more than 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, sold above €1,000 per m², recorded in the DVF database of the French tax administration. These benchmarks frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: a small village bourgeois house or a chateau sold with 30 ha of parkland fall outside this scope.

Rustic brick, fired in the tileworks of the valley, forms the façades of the Garonne plain, while the blond limestone of the Fumel area and of the surroundings of Villeréal clads the residences of the north. The maisons de maître are often organised around a central block of three or five bays, with a cornice of stacked tiles, curved tile roofs and a balustraded staircase. The large farmhouses of well-off growers, with their timber frames filled with cob, belong in this section once their scale and comfort bring them close to fine residences.
The dovecote, square on stilts or built as a tower, remains one of the signs of an estate; it comes with wine stores, prune-drying sheds, a caretaker's cottage and grounds planted with plane trees and cedars. Around Agen, Boé and Bon-Encontre, contemporary villas and architect-designed properties, with a pool and pool house, complete the recent supply. Former coach houses and stables, now converted into garages, workshops or a family guest annex, add flexibility of use.
The Agenais, around Agen and Layrac, offers the largest number of fine residences and of properties close to services. The Garonne valley, from Tonneins to Marmande, has broad merchants' houses on the river; the Lot valley, from Villeneuve-sur-Lot to Penne-d'Agenais, suits lovers of hilltop villages; the Duras country and the Villeréal area, on the edge of Dordogne, attract foreign buyers. The Albret, around Nérac and Casteljaloux, remains the most affordable area.
The department has one TGV station, at Agen, which links Bordeaux, Toulouse and Paris. The A62 motorway follows the Garonne from one end of the department to the other, which puts both regional capitals within a morning's reach and explains the interest of buyers who still work in town. Buyers often weigh Agen, the more urban option, against the hill communes nearby, where the same floor area costs noticeably less and quiet is guaranteed.
The Garonne and the Lot are closely monitored: flood-risk prevention plans govern the extension of riverside residences, and your insurer will ask for the zoning. The department is strongly exposed to shrink-swell movement of clay soils; stepped cracks, doors that close badly and warped floors need examining, as does the soil survey required for any new build or extension. Wells, old septic tanks and buried pipework on ancient estates also deserve a check, since plans are rarely kept and the compliance of the drainage is verified at the sale.
In bastide towns such as Nérac, Monflanquin or Villeréal, the surroundings of protected buildings dictate the render colours and joinery allowed. When the property includes plum orchards or vines of Buzet or Duras, the status of tenant farming, the SAFER pre-emption right and the classification of the parcels influence the negotiation. On a recent villa, ask for the pool permits and the warranties still running. Ask the notary to check any easements crossing the grounds, such as a right of way for neighbouring farmland.
