A very handsome, exceptionally well proportioned 19th century château standing in its own 56 ha of parkland in a premier wine-making region only the 30 minutes from Bordeaux and on the doorstep of the world heritage site of St Emilion.
The property’s very generous proportions, including 470 sq.m of habitable space as well as a large gate house, a swimming pool and several sizeable outbuildings represent a fine example of real value for money and a very positive investment with great potential.
The three-storey, six-bedroom château itself has been maintained to a high standard and throughout it displays some superb period features such as the hand painted floor to the main entrance hall, several grand marble fireplaces and an intricately carved wooden chimney breast bearing a unique inset oil painting. Plus there is ample opportunity for the new owners to add there own personal touches and further enhance château’s excellent, sophisticated accommodation.
As you would expect with such an imposing château and estate, at its grand entrance there is a characteristic stone-built gatehouse which itself boasts six good-sized bedrooms plus a very large garage and workshop area. A broad driveway leads up to the main property passing through well-maintained formal gardens of about 1ha.
With the historic city of Bordeaux “just down the road” and several small busy towns and villages close by there is no shortage of basic commerce, sports and leisure potential of all kinds, as well as excellent restaurants and bars. Bordeaux has an international airport with regular flights that can connect you to all parts of the world and, of course, you can pick up the high speed rail service to Paris and fast roads to every other part of France.
