Description

A45821GUH33 - **Wine Château in the Fronsac Appellation – 24-Hectare Estate with Production Facilities, Outbuildings and Strong Development Potential**

In the heart of the Fronsac appellation, this wine estate extends over approximately 24 hectares and offers a rare, coherent property comprising a character château, residential buildings, outbuildings, reception areas, wine cellars, a full vat room and a structured production facility.

The total built area represents approximately **2,513 m²**, distributed between residential accommodation, annexes, operational buildings, reception areas, offices, wine cellars and vat rooms. The estate is particularly well suited to a heritage, wine, wine-tourism, events or hospitality project, subject to the necessary administrative authorisations.

The residential part offers approximately **670 m² of living space**. It includes the main château, arranged over a ground floor and two upper levels, as well as two additional dwellings. The château itself represents approximately **334 m²**, spread over several levels, with generous volumes and a layout offering scope for a contemporary reinterpretation according to the future owner’s requirements.

Two independent dwellings complete the residential accommodation.
The first dwelling, located on the east/south side, offers approximately **164 m²** and includes a kitchen, a living/dining room, hallway, three bedrooms, a shower room, a garage and circulation areas.
The second dwelling, located on the east/north side, offers approximately **172 m²** and includes a spacious kitchen/living/dining area, three bedrooms, a bathroom with WC, a garage and circulation areas. A covered outdoor area of approximately **40 m²** completes the residential section.

The property also benefits from two reception rooms currently in use, allowing private events to be hosted. These spaces provide an interesting foundation for the development of a reception, events or wine-tourism activity. The outbuildings and ancillary buildings also offer further development potential, such as accommodation, tasting areas, reception spaces, spa or wellness facilities, subject to the required planning and administrative approvals.

The operational buildings are substantial and well structured. They include a barn of approximately **196 m²**, as well as an operational building of approximately **730 m²**, comprising staff facilities, an equipment storage area, a workshop, and bottle storage areas both at ground level and in the basement. These volumes support a significant wine-producing activity and also offer opportunities for reorganisation depending on the intended project.

A dedicated reception and office building offers approximately **181 m²**. It includes a veranda, two offices, sanitary facilities with archive space, two tasting rooms and a small kitchen. This configuration is well suited to welcoming clients, tastings, direct sales or the development of a professional activity linked to wine and tourism.

The technical wine-production area consists of wine cellars and vat rooms representing approximately **696 m²**. It includes stainless steel vats, enamelled and temperature-controlled concrete vats, several barrel cellars, including a large barrel cellar, as well as a bottle cellar. The announced vat capacity is approximately **2,530 hl**, with complete production facilities allowing for vinification, ageing, storage and commercial distribution.

Current production is estimated at approximately **100,000 bottles per year**, mainly export-oriented. The declared grape varieties are predominantly **Merlot**, complemented by **Cabernet Franc** and **Malbec**. The estate therefore offers a structured wine-production base in the Fronsac appellation, with positioning that allows for continuation of the existing activity, an upmarket repositioning or a new commercial strategy.

Outside, the property benefits from a preserved environment, a swimming pool and a pond, enhancing both the appeal of the estate and its potential for private or tourism-related use. The layout of the buildings, the available volumes and the overall consistency of the site make it particularly well suited to a global project combining a prestigious residence, wine production, reception facilities, wine tourism or heritage investment.

A development simulation is mentioned, with an operational urban planning certificate currently in progress. As the property is not currently operated as a tourism business, any future projects involving accommodation, expanded reception use, spa facilities, hotel activity or conversion of outbuildings will require the appropriate checks and administrative authorisations.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
