Superb 18th Century Château in the Heart of the Vineyard

Property Description

About 20 minutes from Capestang, this beautiful 18th-century château is truly one of a kind and steeped in history. It has been carefully restored over the years, keeping its original features and authentic character while adding modern comforts. The result is a home that combines elegance, comfort, and impressive, spacious interiors.

The property is made up of three completely independent living spaces, offering great flexibility, with the option to reconnect some areas if desired.

The main residence, located in the left wing, features stunning, light-filled reception rooms, including a large living room opening onto the grounds and a high-end, fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, there are several generous suites and bedrooms, along with a remarkable library featuring an elegant Eiffel-style staircase leading to an artist's studio with beautiful views over the grounds. There is even a lift for added convenience.

The right wing houses a second, charming home, with its original stone staircase, cosy living areas, and bedrooms that can be arranged to suit your needs.

An independent guest house completes the property, ideal for hosting visitors or running a rental business. It offers spacious living areas, a fitted kitchen, and several comfortable bedrooms.

There is also a large two-level outbuilding with further potential for a conversion project.

Outside, the estate sits in a peaceful natural setting. The lush grounds enhance the château's façade, and the olive grove set slightly apart provides a practical parking area. At the rear, a large shared courtyard completes the outdoor spaces.
