Charming Nineteenth Century chateau / manor house close to the celebrated village of Saint-Emilion, offering an inspiring blend of history, character, and versatility.

Surrounded by peaceful countryside and rolling vineyards, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a spacious and flexible home in one of France's most admired regions.

Originally built in 1860, the property began as a single dwelling, with a substantial extension added later to form the larger main residence seen today. The earlier section was more recently arranged as a guest house, offering independent accommodation for guests or potential rental income (To continue the activity, the future owner will need to undertake their own administrative procedures).

Importantly, this space can be effortlessly reintegrated into the main home, restoring the building into a generous, flowing family residence if desired.

The principal living areas of the main house are elegant and welcoming. A classic entrance hall opens into an attractive reception salon, complemented by a dining room, a study, and a family kitchen that leads directly to the gardens.

The home's character is enhanced by wooden doubleglazed windows, which respect the original aesthetic while offering improved comfort.

The upper accommodation includes a principal bedroom with a private bathroom, an additional en suite bedroom, and further guest rooms.

At the top of the house, extra rooms and a spacious attic offer scope for conversion into further living space (subject to any necessary permissions ), ideal for those seeking to expand or reshape the layout to suit their lifestyle.

The grounds extend over more than an acre and include several traditional outbuildings such as a barn, a former chai, a dependance, and a garage.

These charming structures present appealing possibilities for workshops, creative spaces, or storage.

Despite its tranquil rural setting, the chateau enjoys excellent proximity to everyday conveniences-shops, schools, restaurants, and other services are close by, with a TGV station and international airport easily accessible.

With its rich history, adaptable layout, and generous proportions, this property represents a wonderful opportunity to create a distinctive home near one of France's most iconic winegrowing regions-whether as a grand family residence, a home with guest accommodation, or a sensitively modernised retreat.
