Historic Castle Overlooking Garonne Valley with Expansive Grounds

About the Property

An iconic 15th-century castle in southern Gironde, this property, built in flamboyant Gothic style, offers 1,500 m² of living space and a remarkable panorama overlooking the Garonne Valley. Located only 45 minutes from Bordeaux and its airport, the estate is set within a high-quality landscaped environment, featuring gardens, centuries-old trees, pools, and fountains. The castle, owned by the same family since 1594, is arranged around two wings in right-angled projection, punctuated with towers, including a remarkable hexagonal tower and a chapel tower. The interior boasts spacious reception rooms, a library, a dining room, and a billiard room adorned with Cordovan leather decor, alongside approximately thirty rooms, many of which are bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Period elements such as parquet flooring, moldings, fireplaces, and woodwork attest to the authenticity and nobility of the place. Significant outbuildings, totaling approximately 1,500 m², complement the ensemble, including an orangery, former stables converted into a reception hall, a barn, a 17th-century dovecote, a workshop, a garage, and an ice house, offering exceptional potential for various projects. Historic Monument protection applies to this castle, providing a rare base for a prestigious private residence, hotel, or event project, although renovation work is needed to fully reveal its potential. Additional hectares can be purchased separately. Price: €1,700,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by Patrice Besse.
