Castles / chateaux
19th century chateau with its former wine storehouses in 6.4 acre parklands
Location
Set on a hill dominating the Garonne and Bordeaux, town of art and history classified as a World Heritage site by Unesco in 2007.
On the outskirts of a village with 3,000 inhabitants, much appreciated for its location and quality of life.
Description
6.4 acres of parklands crisscrossed with driveways winding between the various species of one hundred year old trees. Several rows of vines are a reminder of the property’s wine-growing history; the season’s vegetables grow in the vegetable garden.
A high stone wall prevents the buildings in the centre of the parklands from being overlooked.
The chateau
Built in the middle of the 19th century on the foundations of an older building, the cellar of which still remains, the building spans a ground floor and two stories.
Rendered rubble stone walls, doors and windows framed with dressed stone, baluster balconies and a slate roof are proof of the quality of the construction of the building.
Inside, the layout of the rooms has been cleverly thought out, the decoration is refined without being ostentatious.
With no expense spared, everything has been restored, refurbished and redesigned over the last five years: rendering, roof, insulation, heating, sanitation, access control, etc.
Approx. total of 8,070 sq ft of living space:
Ground floor: entrance via a gallery running from one end of the building to the other and leading to all the reception rooms: two lounges on either side of the large dining room, billiards room. Small dining room, study, conservatory, vast kitchen, toilet and utility rooms.
1st floor: a gallery similar to that on the ground floor leads to 3 spacious bedrooms, each with a dressing room and bathroom, 1 study.
2nd floor: 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 1 large room.
