Castle Montauban (82)

An 18th-century Italian-style chateau with tree-dotted grounds and a swimming pool, 50 minutes from Toulouse. The property extends over 1.5 hectares; its history spans nine centuries. It comprises a chateau consisting of an avant-corps and a prominent wing, an independent building with several vaulted rooms at its base, a terrace overlooking the parklands with a long swimming pool bordered by an annex, the caretaker's cottage of approx. 100 m² and a 1930 theatre. The main entrance is through the east gate. Framed by two high brick pillars topped by terracotta pinecones, the large automated gate opens onto a gravel courtyard providing parking for several vehicles. To the left, a path runs across a generously wooded stretch of garden, winding its way down to the lower part of the grounds. Two stone sphinxes and several terracotta putti adorn the balustrade of the first terrace. In the south-east corner of the terrace stands an independent square 15th-century lodge, parts of which are listed. Several doors to the right of the entrance provide direct access from the courtyard to the main section of the chateau. To the west of the property, a more discreet gate leads to the other part of the grounds. To the right, the elongated swimming pool is bordered by an annexe building with brick and pebble walls, a technique traditionally used in the region. A terrace hidden from view stretches out from this building. The driveway leads to a large terrace with a terracotta tile floor offering a panoramic view over the wooded valley.

Castle Castillon-la-Bataille (33)

A historic gem between Castillon-la-Bataille and Saint-Émilion Overlooking the hillsides of Castillon-la-Bataille, famous for the 1453 battle that marked the end of the Hundred Years’ War, the château spans 112 hectares of vineyards, meadows and woodland, just a few kilometres from Saint-Émilion. Built from the 14th century onwards and remodelled in the 19th century, this exceptional estate combines history and prestige. Its architecture, typical of the 15th century with its steeply pitched roofs of flat tiles and three corner towers—one of which houses a chapel—makes it a rare example of Bordeaux’s heritage. The grounds, surrounded by walls and round towers, offer breathtaking views of the valley. An exceptional château and outbuildings The main body of the château, listed as a historic monument (ISMH) since 1996, comprises 30 rooms spread over three floors, featuring an inverted ship’s hull-shaped roof structure and a spiral staircase. The ground floor is organised around two drawing rooms, a library and a large dining room, whilst the first floor comprises eight bedrooms. The main courtyard, opening onto the outbuildings and a former wine cellar, leads to a swimming pool with a pool house and a tennis court. A few hundred metres away, a detached house completes the property. The estate enjoys a preserved setting, nestled between vineyards and forests, whilst being close to schools, shops, an 18-hole golf course, an equestrian centre and a TGV station. A renowned vineyard in the Côtes de Castillon AOC The 24-hectare vineyard is situated on clay-limestone soils with outcrops of flint, ideal for producing wines with character. The vineyard, planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, benefits from an optimal planting density (3,500 to 5,000 vines per hectare) and an average vine age of 30 years. The winery, dating from 1863 and listed on the ISMH, is organised over two levels for gravity-fed processing, featuring temperature-controlled concrete vats (45hl to 300hl) and six 150hl stainless steel vats. Sustainable viticulture and the estate’s organisation offer unique flexibility for future owners. A unique living environment, blending history and modernit. Less than an hour from Bordeaux, 1½ hours from Arcachon and in the heart of a region rich in history, this property represents a highly promising investment. It combines the charm of a beautiful historic residence with current economic activities centred on the vineyard and woodland. It also lends itself to tourism-related activities such as wine tourism, nature-focused wellness, biodiversity and horse riding, not to mention events, capitalising on the appeal of Castillon-la-Bataille. This exceptional estate awaits the opening of a new chapter in its history.
