Description
Set in the heart of an unspoilt natural environment, this magnificent 14th-century château offers an exceptional lifestyle alongside a small hobby vineyard.
This leisure vineyard, covering a total area of approximately 10 hectares, including 1.25 ha under the Bordeaux Supérieur AOP, appeals for its harmony between heritage, nature and small-scale wine production, ideal for a discerning enthusiast or for developing a wine tourism business.
The Château:
With a total floor area of approximately 800 m² spread over three levels, the château has been renovated and elegantly decorated, offering a refined and authentic living environment.

The château is sold with most of the furniture, excluding personal effects.
Outside, a superb 12 x 6 m saltwater swimming pool, fitted with a dome allowing for swimming out of season, completes the property.
There are two secondary houses of approximately 90 m² (5 rooms) and 130 m² (4 rooms), with the potential to use one house as a caretaker's residence in addition to operating a guesthouse.
