Description
Built in around 1750, the chateau has been well maintained and improved by its owners and is set in a tranquil location around local vineyards.
The estate is comprised of:
Principal Chateau: With 550m2 of living space and six bedrooms, the chateau also boasts a homely living room, kitchen, separate dining room, office and sunny snug lounge. On the second floor there are six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a laundry room. The roof has been recently renewed and insulated.
Detached Cottage: This former ‘Pigeonnier’ has four bedrooms, kitchen and lounge with mezzanine level. It has its own private terrace - so is ideal for guests or family.
Caretaker’s apartment: Attached to the end of the chateau, this apartment, which requires updating, has a lounge/kitchen and one bedroom. Ideal for guardian’s accommodation.
Heating is provided by open fireplaces, wood burners and gas-fired central heating.
Grounds: The estate extends to 5 (12 acres) hectares, set mostly to lawn. A long tree-lined drive offers an excellent arrival experience, leading to the Chateau’s cast-iron entrance gate. The swimming pool is tucked away to the rear of the property and has a recent heat exchanger.
A entrancing summer kitchen with Japanese garden is a lovely spot for summer dining, with covered veranda offering welcome shade.
In addition there is a three car garage, and converted shelter for a tractor and other gardening equipment.
The Chateau is within walking distance of one of the area’s most renowned vineyards, where you can taste and buy superb Red, White and Rosé wines.
A couple of local bilingual schools are within 30 minutes, offering the French curriculum and iGCSEs.
The nearest TGV (high speed train) station is available from Libourne with a two hour connection to Paris.
The Atlantic coastal and beach attractions of Arcachon and Dune de Pyla are within two hours’ by car, and the ski resorts of the Pyrenees are around four hours. The Mediterranean seaside resorts of Narbonne and northern Spain are six hours by car.
The airport of Bergerac is just a 10 minute drive, and Bordeaux around 1 hour 25 minutes.
