EXCLUSIVE TO CHRISTIES INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE: Nestled in the picturesque region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, this stunning eight-bedroom chateau, built around 1545, has remained within the same aristocratic family until the late 19th century. Over the past two decades, the chateau has undergone extensive renovation and redecoration, offering generous living spaces, all captured within a enthralling 1.68 hectares (4 acres of walled parkland). The grounds feature expansive outbuildings, including recently refurbished meeting rooms with guest accommodation, a climate controlled wine cellar, a swimming pool, an ornamental fish pond complete with carp, and a diverse array of mature gardens, each with its own unique theme. The estate has a 30m deep natural well to which a pump has been attached drawing up water feeding the automatic watering system that runs for 9 hours through the night maintaining a green and verdant atmosphere to the park year- round. Conveniently located near the Canal de Garonne, where Rick Stein filmed his French Odyssey—remarking, "from prunes to snails, he found plenty to eat along the way" this chateau is surrounded by a beautifully preserved natural environment and is in close proximity to a marina. It is approximately one hour from the vibrant city of Bordeaux and its international airport, with easy access to a railway station and private airfields in La Réole, Marmande, and Libourne. This enchanting property which is sold fully-furnished, perfectly combines comfort, architectural elegance, and an idyllic location.
