Exclusive : an exceptional country estate in the heart of the Médoc's world-renowned vineyards nestled among the prestigious Grands Crus Classés of the Médoc, this remarkable stone-built Chartreuse offers a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding French estate in one of the world's most celebrated wine regions.
Set within approximately 11 hectares (27 acres) of beautifully landscaped parkland, gardens and woodland, the property extends to almost 850 sq m (9,150 sq ft), including 575 sq m (6,190 sq ft) of elegant living accommodation, just moments from the charming villages of Saint-Laurent-Médoc and Saint-Julien-Beychevelle.
Arrival at the estate is nothing short of spectacular. A magnificent 500-metre private driveway, lined with stately Italian cypress trees, leads to this distinguished residence, built in 1970 in the finest tradition of classical French architecture. Combining timeless elegance with generous proportions, the property offers an exceptional lifestyle in complete privacy.
Arranged over two levels, the residence comprises 18 beautifully appointed rooms, including 11 spacious bedrooms, designed to combine refined living with absolute comfort. The impressive stone façades, expansive terraces and large picture windows flood the interiors with natural light while framing uninterrupted views across the surrounding estate.
Guests may enter via elegant stone staircases on either the north or south side of the house, both leading to a grand central reception hall. From here, the home flows effortlessly into a magnificent formal dining room and an elegant south-facing drawing room, each featuring an authentic fireplace and opening onto panoramic terraces overlooking the park and rolling countryside.
The principal floor offers eight bedrooms, four bathrooms, three guest cloakrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a private study.
On the inferior level, the property provides four additional bedrooms, two shower rooms, a utility room, technical facilities, an extensive wine cellar and approximately 275 sq m (2,960 sq ft) of garages and ancillary spaces, presenting exceptional potential for a classic car collection, wellness facilities, staff accommodation or further bespoke development.
The grounds are equally impressive. The estate's mature parkland, woodland and landscaped gardens ensure complete tranquillity and privacy, while an automatic irrigation system supplied by both a private well and a borehole guarantees effortless maintenance throughout the seasons.
For those seeking an even more substantial estate, several additional acquisition opportunities are available.
Just 300 metres from the main residence, an attractive stone house of approximately 145 sq m (1,560 sq ft), together with 165 sq m (1,775 sq ft) of outbuildings, sits within its own one-hectare plot.
Furthermore, an additional 60 hectares (148 acres) of adjoining woodland and pasture, complete with private hunting rights, may also be acquired, creating a truly exceptional country estate.
Whether as a distinguished primary residence, an elegant family retreat, or an exclusive luxury hospitality venture, this remarkable property offers outstanding potential.
Combining architectural elegance, remarkable privacy and significant heritage value, this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional estate in the heart of one of France's most prestigious wine regions, just a short drive from the Atlantic coastline, the celebrated vineyards of the Médoc, the city of Bordeaux and its international airport.
