furnished castle for sale Saint-Marcel-sur-Aude, France

Just 20 minutes from Béziers, in the heart of a preserved landscape of Languedoc, this remarkable estate with a characterful castle, built in 1830 as a hunting lodge, stands within a continuous 56-hectare estate, which includes a vast vineyard surrounding the property.Offering approximately 521 m² of living space, the castle currently requires renovation work which presents a rare opportunity to reveal the full potential of this exceptional historical residence. Despite the passage of time, many original decorative elements have been preserved, giving the place remarkable authenticity and charm: glazed tiles, a monumental stone staircase, marble fireplaces, French parquet floors, ancient mosaics, and an integrated chapel attest to its rich architectural heritage.The vineyard extends over 56 hectares, including 44.8 hectares of producing vines, 4 hectares to be replanted, and approximately 7 hectares of land and park. Irrigated over 30 hectares, it is planted with emblematic grape varieties of the South of France: Merlot, Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds, Sauvignon and Chardonnay for whites. Classified as IGP Pays d'Oc, it benefits from controlled yields and an immediately operational production facility. The current harvest is delivered to the cooperative cellar, while the existing facilities allow for the resumption of its own production and brand.The property includes generous reception spaces, 11 bedrooms, 5 shower rooms, as well as a vast basement converted into a cellar.The outbuildings greatly enrich the property with three independent accommodations (95 m², 95 m², and 70 m²), two of which are currently rented annually and one operated as seasonal rental. The former hunters' hall, the old stables, and an impressive 660 m² winemaking cellar complete this rare heritage.A rare property, where the prestige of an estate with a historical castle combines with the scale of a true vineyard estate. An exceptional opportunity to create a top-notch private residence, a charming hotel, an exclusive reception venue, or a reference winery.Puisserguier – Hérault Quick access to A9 and A75 TGV station and airport 25 minutes awayThis description has been automatically translated from French.
