A landmark of regional architectural heritage, this château in southern Gironde is a magnificent medieval residence perched on a promontory overlooking the Garonne valley. Its construction dates back to the 15th century, around 1480, on the initiative of the lords of Castets en Dorthe, in a flamboyant Gothic style. Owned by the same family since 1594, the property comprises two buildings forming a right angle, flanked by several towers — notably a richly decorated hexagonal tower to the east and a rectangular tower housing a chapel on the north-east corner. The château's surroundings are remarkable: gardens, ancient trees, ponds and fountains create a landscape of great beauty. The façades and roofs of the château, as well as its dovecote, were listed as Historic Monuments by decree on 4 August 1978. Fees at seller's expense.

An estate to be restored, with outbuildings and 4.5 hectares of meadows and vines, 45 minutes from Bordeaux, on the outskirts of a village in the Gironde area. The estate is located in the heights of the village of which it is part, near to a street that runs past it. However, it is sufficiently far from any form of noise pollution. An earthen drive running past an hedge of hornbeams leads directly to it. The property is not fenced or walled, which would be superfluous, given the location set back from the road, the natural protective screen formed by the vineyards as well as the peace and quiet of the area. It is located in a semi-rural area, on mainly flat land, as is the case for the surrounding villages, standing between the Garonne River and its canal. This massive and noble stone residence with a tiled roof can be seen from the road, partially hidden by the estate’s rows of vines. It is made up of a rectangular main building with an adjoining, one-storey outbuilding set at a right angle to it, to the right-hand side of the house, on the eastern side, which is used as a store and a garage. Opposite, a hut houses the water pumping system, very near to the well. The grounds, including several hundred-year-old trees and notably a cedar planted in 1875 as well as copses of more recently planted shrubs, is made up of lawns stretching from the walls of the house to the vines to the northeastern side of the property. They account for approximately a third of the 4.3-hectare estate. The rest is made up of two plots of cultivated vines, separated by a tarmac road. The property has been in the same family since 1844 and is a recognised element of the region’s heritage, as proved by its classification as a picturesque site for the last 50 years by the local authorities.

In the heart of prestigious Grand Cru Classé vineyards, this magnificent 19th-century property of over 700 sqm has been fully restored and sits within a 2.5-hectare park featuring century-old magnolia trees. It offers a swimming pool, a chalet, and a carport. Spread across three levels, the residence comprises on the ground floor: an entrance hall, three reception rooms, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, and a suite with bathroom. This level also includes a 48 sqm apartment with living room, kitchen, bedroom, and shower room. On the first floor, three suites with shower rooms, two additional bedrooms, and a bathroom provide generous accommodation. The lower level offers a spacious office, a workshop, a wine cellar, and a room to be fitted out, opening onto the park. A large parking area accommodating several vehicles completes this exceptional property.

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.
