Vineyard Château with Development Potential

Historic 1763 château overlooking Saint-Émilion, set on an elevated plateau with mature gardens, extensive outbuildings and over 20 ha of vineyards. Offering grand reception rooms, conversion potential and an historic winery, this elegant former hunting lodge combines heritage, views and accessibility near Bordeaux.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property benefits from excellent accessibility: local shops and services are nearby, and the outskirts of Bordeaux can be reached in approximately twenty minutes.

Occupying an elevated plateau opposite the renowned slopes of Saint-Émilion, with the River Dordogne flowing between, this remarkable estate is centred on an elegant château of noble origin. Built in 1763 as the hunting lodge of the Marquis de Guinot, the property immediately impresses with its classical stone architecture, symmetrical façade and beautifully balanced proportions, commanding uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape.

The interior offers a succession of spacious, light-filled reception rooms, many retaining their original features such as period fireplaces, traditional regional floor tiles and refined wood panelling. Large windows frame long, open views over the countryside, enhancing the sense of space and serenity. Several former staff rooms, now unused, present exciting opportunities for conversion into guest suites, offices or creative spaces, while the vast attic level offers further potential for additional accommodation or leisure areas, subject to the relevant permissions.

Beneath the château, a stone cellar houses the estate’s historic winery, complete with traditional concrete vats—an evocative reminder of the property’s long-standing viticultural heritage.

The château is surrounded by mature, carefully planted gardens, where established trees provide shade, structure and a timeless sense of calm. Numerous stone barns and former agricultural outbuildings encircle the main residence, offering exceptional versatility for storage, workshops or future development projects.

The estate is sold with over twenty hectares of vineyard land located on the plateau, currently farmed under an annual tenancy agreement. This arrangement allows new owners to enjoy the prestige and beauty of a vineyard estate without the demands of day-to-day management, while also leaving open the possibility of reviving wine production and operating the winery independently.

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic former hunting lodge with extensive grounds, substantial outbuildings, productive vineyard land and exceptional views, in one of the most sought-after locations of the Bordeaux region.
