castles with pool for sale Gironde, France (page 2)

Just 20 minutes from Bordeaux, in the heart of the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation, this 19th-century château embodies the timeless elegance of Bordeaux’s grand estates. Nestled within 2.8 hectares of preserved grounds, this rare property offers an exceptional lifestyle surrounded by landscaped parkland, organic vineyards, and absolute tranquility. Steeped in history, the château is part of Léognan’s emblematic heritage and retains all the nobility of its stone architecture and slate roof. Fully restored, the property offers approximately 623 m² of living space with remarkable volumes throughout. From the moment you enter, the light-filled reception rooms open generously onto the park. The ground floor features a spacious and welcoming eat-in kitchen as well as a ground-floor suite. The upper floors comprise 5 suites and 2 additional bedrooms, offering ideal comfort for a large family residence or a refined hospitality project. Noble materials, impressive ceiling heights, and the charm of period architecture have been beautifully preserved while incorporating modern comfort and amenities. The property also benefits from several outbuildings and ancillary spaces offering exceptional potential. At the rear of the château, a one-bedroom annex apartment (T2), entirely in need of renovation, could become an independent guest apartment, caretaker’s house, office space, or premium rental accommodation. The full basement already includes an office with waiting room, a workshop, and a wine cellar with direct access to the garden. These spaces are perfectly suited for professional use, artistic activities, a wellness area, or private tasting lounges. In addition, the recently renovated and elevated roof structure reveals an impressive attic level of more than 125 m² ready to be converted. Additional suites, an independent apartment, reception areas, or an exclusive wine tourism project could easily be envisioned. Outside, the landscaped grounds feature century-old magnolia trees, a swimming pool, and one hectare classified under the prestigious AOC Pessac-Léognan designation, suitable for confidential vineyard cultivation. Peacefully set with no close neighbors and only minutes from local amenities, the estate enjoys a location that is both discreet and highly accessible. The château also offers rare technical features for a historic property: air conditioning, heat pump system, recent gas condensing boiler, three independent access points, and parking for more than 10 vehicles. Its excellent energy performance rating of C is a remarkable asset for a residence dating from before 1948. Perfectly suited as a prestigious family estate, the property also lends itself beautifully to luxury guest accommodation, private events, wine tourism experiences, or exclusive retreats. Thanks to its strategic location between Bordeaux and Arcachon, and depending on the chosen business model (luxury seasonal rentals, private events, wine tourism, or guest house activity), additional annual income potential could reasonably be estimated between €60,000 and €150,000. What we particularly love: the unique history of the estate, the authentic 19th-century character, the elegance of the volumes, and the rare feeling of living in a confidential château surrounded by vineyards just moments from Bordeaux.
