In eastern Gironde, this remarkable property occupies a peaceful and preserved setting at the end of a private lane, sheltered from surrounding nuisances. The château stands in an elevated position overlooking the Dordogne valley and is surrounded by 15 hectares of land held in a single block.

Despite its secluded setting, the property is conveniently situated just 10km from shops, a supermarket, schools, railway station and cinema. A golf course is approximately 16km away, while Bordeaux is around one hour by car and Saint-Émilion approximately 30 minutes.

There is also the possibility of acquiring up to 50 hectares in a single holding around the château, together with additional outbuildings.

The principal residence is a handsome classical château, presented in excellent condition and offering high-quality fixtures and fittings. Its proportions, layout and generous natural light make it particularly pleasant as a family home while also lending itself naturally to entertaining.

The entrance hall is particularly impressive, with a sweeping double-flight staircase forming the architectural focus. From here, the ground floor extends into a large dual-aspect sitting room, a spacious dining room and a generous kitchen.

Also on this level are a more intimate sitting room, a study/library, laundry room, utility room and a WC with wash hand basin.

A stone staircase descends to the basement, where there are several useful rooms including a wine cellar, boiler room and a large television/cinema room, providing a substantial additional leisure space.

Bedrooms
The first floor can be reached either via the principal double staircase or a separate stone staircase positioned at one end of the château.

A long landing and corridor lead to six bedrooms. Four are suites, each benefiting from beautifully appointed bathrooms with both bath and shower facilities and twin wash basins.

The remaining two bedrooms share a bathroom, providing a total of six bedrooms with a particularly comfortable arrangement for family and guests.

Independent House
A separate 130m2 house provides valuable additional accommodation. In good condition, it retains a number of attractive period features, including parquet flooring, traditional Gironde terracotta tiles and a fireplace.

The house comprises three bedrooms and is well suited to accommodating guests, extended family or a guardian, while maintaining a useful degree of independence from the principal residence.

Outbuildings and Grounds
The château is surrounded by 15 hectares of land in a single holding. The property also includes a stable, a large garage of approximately 80m2 with an impressive 8m ceiling height, and additional barns.

The substantial garage offers considerable flexibility, whether for vehicle storage, a workshop or conversion to another use, subject to the necessary permissions.

The possibility of acquiring up to 50 hectares in total, together with further outbuildings, makes it possible to create a considerably larger estate centred around the château.

Summary
This elegant classical château combines a peaceful position overlooking the Dordogne valley with excellent access to local amenities, Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion. The spacious principal residence provides six bedrooms, four suites, generous reception rooms and a cinema room, while the independent house and extensive outbuildings add considerable flexibility.

The possibility of acquiring additional land and buildings offers scope to create a substantial private estate, subject to the intended use and necessary permissions.
