This wonderful property has been very recently renovated to a first-class standard and offers an elegant and tranquil countryside lifestyle.

Originally built in 1741 this turnkey chateau has its own historic chapel - as well as a useful caretaker’s cottage.

Set in 18 hectares (43 acres) of land, this charming domaine has a 9 hectares of AOC Bergerac / Montravel vines with panoramic views over the valley. A very promising vineyard, given the many successes achieved by this well-known Margaux and Pomerol winemaker and his family.

The principal Chartreuse has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. This building can be divided in two - each side with a separate entrance and kitchen - providing privacy for guests or staff. The main kitchen is superbly appointed with modern appliances and units, with a wealth of exposed oak beams.

A bedroom on the ground floor - and an elevator to the first floor - provide flexible accommodation and access.

The beautiful flooring throughout is a mixture of new stone, antique stone and original timber. The fireplaces have been restored and provide excellent focal points in each room.

On the first floor there are two principal bedrooms, with views over the grounds, a dressing room and a bathroom.

The two ‘wings’ of around 600 m² are a combination of unrenovated barns, workshops and garages. They could be transformed to provide further accommodation, a wine-making area or even an indoor pool.

The caretaker's cottage has also been thoroughly modernised, with a large kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

All electrics, plumbing and drainage have been completed to the latest standards, along with double-glazing throughout. A new oil-fired central heating system has also been installed.

The grounds are set mostly to lawn, with a few mature trees. The quaint chapel, complete with altar, has listed status and is in good condition. An attractive swimming pool (12m x 5) has been recently installed.

The vineyard has been recently planted (five years ago). One parcel for red wine has been planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc and Merlot. The white wine section offers Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. All areas are 7000 plants per hectare in density.

The nearest village is just a couple of minutes by car, and has a small supermarket, bar and school. The famous wine town of St Emilion is 26km away, and he larger town of Bergerac is 20 minutes away has an airport and a bilingual school offering French and UK curriculums. The city of Bordeaux, with an international airport and TGV connection to Paris is 45 minutes away by car.
