This superb property reveals its authentic character and exceptional terroir. Dating back to the early 19th century, this magnificent wine château proudly embodies the local heritage, with distinctive features such as the wash house and dovecote evoking a much earlier history, probably rooted in the 16th century.

This beautiful property comprises several spacious buildings, offering numerous opportunities for conversion and the creation of additional accommodation.

The chateau, built of local stone and recently renovated, has a canal tile roof in good condition.
The linear facade features 9 pairs of arched windows on the first floor, giving the building an attractive appearance.
The original single-glazed wooden joinery, some with small panes, is obscured by wooden shutters.

With a total surface area of 1,000sqm, the first floor of the château has been restored, while the upper floor will require complete renovation.

The ground floor: approx. 500sqm with 3.30m high ceilings, features a walk-through entrance leading to 6 reception rooms, a kitchen and sanitary facilities. The property has been well maintained, with moldings, picture rails, parquet flooring and fireplaces all in good condition.

The right wing of the château has offices, and the rest of the length, which surrounds the lime tree courtyard, has various rooms to be restored.
The left wing of the château has a boiler room in the first room, followed by a barrel cellar and rooms dedicated to wine production.

Numerous outbuildings are present to ensure the smooth running of the property's activities.

The vineyard is entirely grouped around the château, which makes it easier to farm, and the plots are easy to access and flat. The vineyards are far from residential areas, and are generally surrounded by woods or vines, which significantly reduces the risk of nuisance.
The production tool is therefore considered to be easy to use, and 'protected' from local residents. This configuration is rare.

Since 1986, the owner has been mapping the estate's terroirs and studying the interactions between soils, rootstocks and grape varieties to optimise the balance of the vineyard. The subsequent restructuring programme has resulted in an ideally planted 6-hectare vineyard spread over a clay-limestone terroir for the red wines. The grape variety of the 5 plots of vines is Merlot, ideal for producing quality red wines, and the plant density is 4,500 vines/ha.

This combination of vineyard, parkland and château, with its capacity to accommodate large numbers of guests in a very private setting, is ideal for creating a commercial event structure.
