Castle Bergerac (24)

An 18th-century château, dating from around 1750, set in grounds covering over 7.6 hectares. There are places that keep their secrets better than others. On that day, it was the tranquillity of the place that struck me above all else. The château came into view at the bend in a driveway, imposing and serene, as if it had always stood there. I knew that this visit would be unlike any other: some places are not simply visited, they are experienced. The main house offers 600 m² of living space (829 m² in total) across four levels: entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, 46 m² reception lounge, 33 m² library and billiard room, a bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a 43 m² orangery opening onto the grounds and the swimming pool. The upper floors feature several suites with bathrooms or shower rooms, some with dressing rooms or private lounges, and studio-style spaces suitable for kitchenettes, ideal for extended families or rental use. The basement houses two vaulted cellars totalling 70 m². The 1.9-hectare landscaped park, planted with remarkable trees, directly surrounds the château and ensures its privacy, featuring a swimming pool, a well and a spring. Just a short walk away, on the other side of the path, over 5.7 hectares of woodland and meadows extend the estate and frame the horizon. Four terraces (353 m²) offer unobstructed views of the countryside, and a solar tracker completes the picture. A rare property, for a buyer who appreciates the spirit of the place and the value of heritage I would be delighted to show you around this estate and tell you all about every corner of it.

Castle Sanary-sur-Mer (83)

Exclusive! In the heart of Provence and discreetly nestled a few steps from the port of Sanary-sur-Mer, between TOULON and MARSEILLE, with easy access by road, stands majestically this castle, a true historical witness since its creation in the 14th century. The curtain walls, old vaulted arch and watchtowers evoke its past as a religious building (chapel) and agricultural (old mill), while in the 19th century, this place disrupted an entire economy and became the cradle of the AOC BANDOL. An emblematic place of the region and residence of illustrious personalities such as Hugues Rose (General). The last modifications date from the 20th century, thus preserving this regional and French emblem through the ages. The castle, with a living area of approximately 800 m2, faces south and extends over a park of 6800 m2. Several distinct spaces blend harmoniously: on the château side, two large courtyards shaded by two centuries-old plane trees, on the other, unspoiled nature, with its immense medlar trees, separated by a bucolic garden that inspires nostalgia and relaxation. The château extends over three levels, organized around the 100 m2 winery where time seems to have stood still. You can still smell the aromas of wood aged by grapes. You can still hear the bottling of liters, the movement of the staff in the middle of September in a damp coolness that characterizes such a special dawn. A neglected machinery is displayed as if in a museum. A rounded tower adds character to the architecture in the southeast section. On the ground floor, the entrance hall offers a glimpse of the old barrels of the master's home. Each room on this level offers numerous layout possibilities. A first kitchen and a dining room open onto an outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining. A large living room adorned with moldings and cement tiles seduces with its charm. The ascent to the first floor encourages contemplation, with its light-filled windows offering breathtaking views of the park. A cloakroom, ideal for exhibiting works of art, leads to one of the key rooms of the house: the study, all vaults culminating at 4 meters in height and its stained-glass windows, for the sake of privacy, in the past, many geopolitical and economic decisions were made. Five bedrooms are located on this level, as well as several water points. The top floor offers great potential for development, with the possibility of renovating seven bedrooms and several bathrooms, at least. To the west of the castle, an imposing terrace of approximately 70 m2 opens this monument to the longing views of the Sanary hills. To finish in apotheosis with this keep, this central round tower, serving as a lookout, which offers a 360o view and gently lets us rest our eyes on its big sister of the Port. In short, this property offers a rare opportunity to write one's name in the history of the region and the country while benefiting from an exceptional setting. This Sanaryen jewel with undeniable charisma awaits careful renovation.
