Magnificent historical turnkey hobby vineyard estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers region

Exclusive to Vineyards-Bordeaux. As specialists in Bordeaux hobby vineyard transactions, this estate is an outstanding archetype representing the perfect combination of vineyard lifestyle, location and a fully renovated chateau residence. Located close to the world famous St Emilion on an elevated position above the Dordogne valley, the chateau and vineyard are presented in excellent condition as a result of a meticulous renovation completed in 2017. Dating back to the 12th century, this historic vineyard lifestyle estate is set in approx. 6.35 hectares of which 2.6 hectares are planted with AOC Bordeaux vines. The Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon vines are well maintained and have an average age of 30 years. The vineyard produces a high quality Bordeaux Superieur red wine under its own chateau name. As is often the case with a hobby vineyard estate, all operational responsibilities have been outsourced with the annual production sold to the ‘Cave Cooperative.’ The château was built between the 12th and 18th centuries and is beautifully renovated and furnished. There are a total of 10 rooms, including 5 large bedrooms, all with their own shower/bath rooms. There are two living rooms, a large fully fitted kitchen with a wine cellar, a dining room, garage, study, a laundry room and a large secure parking garage. In addition there is a large attic room for additional sleeping accommodation, a games room or TV room. There is also ample storage areas including garaging, and basement storage. Set in beautiful gardens immediately adjacent to its vineyards, the estate includes a heated saltwater swimming pool, a tennis court, an orchard and woodlands. The chateau has a comfortable well organized floor plan arranged over 3 levels above a subterranean cellar. In addition there is a well appointed guest house with bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. The estate is sold turnkey, furnished, including a Château brand name as well as wine stock of approximately 3,000 bottles of recent vintages. The operational responsibilities are minimal with the farming outsourced to a local farmer and wine production under contract at offsite wine making facilities nearby. The net result is a small annual income.
