Light-Filled Chateau
An elegant mid-19C chateau with independent guest cottage set in a delightfully quiet corner of the Gascon countryside with pretty views over neighbouring vineyards.
A central driveway leads through a sweep of parkland and an enchanting first view of the chateau. The accommodation has light and well-proportioned rooms with fine oak parquet floors and marble fireplaces in all main rooms and the recent addition of a more informal living room and private study. A master suite occupies the entire second floor with two dressings rooms and bathrooms and a roof terrace with enchanting views. Attractive swimming pool area with pool house with arched openings and covered terrace.
The property is ideal as a holiday home for a large family and with the potential for high end rentals or chambres d'hotes activity. The guest cottage is a standalone unit and further space that could be developed in the adjoining barns. A new owner should budget for partial rewiring and non-urgent redecoration as well as upgrading the drainage system. The property is offered for sale fully furnished and equipped, including designer soft furnishings and country antiques.
