Elegant Château Near Saint?Émilion
Located just a short distance from the celebrated village of Saint-Émilion, this charming 19th?century château offers an inspiring blend of history, character, and versatility. Surrounded by peaceful countryside and rolling vineyards, it presents a rare opportunity to create a spacious and flexible home in one of France’s most admired regions.
Originally built in 1860, the property began as a single dwelling, with a substantial extension added later to form the larger main residence seen today. The earlier section was more recently arranged as a guest house, offering independent accommodation for guests or potential rental income (To continue the activity, the future owner will need to undertake their own administrative procedures). Importantly, this space can be effortlessly reintegrated into the main home, restoring the building into a generous, flowing family residence if desired.
Inside, the principal living areas are elegant and welcoming. A classic entrance hall opens into an attractive reception salon, complemented by a dining room, a study, and a family kitchen that leads directly to the gardens. The home’s character is enhanced by wooden double?glazed windows, which respect the original aesthetic while offering improved comfort.
The upper accommodation includes a principal bedroom with a private bathroom, an additional en suite bedroom, and further guest rooms. At the top of the house, extra rooms and a spacious attic offer scope for conversion into further living space (subject to any necessary permissions ), ideal for those seeking to expand or reshape the layout to suit their lifestyle.
The grounds extend over more than half a hectare and include several traditional outbuildings such as a barn, a former chai, a dépendance, and a garage. These charming structures present appealing possibilities for workshops, creative spaces, or storage.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, the château enjoys excellent proximity to everyday conveniences—shops, schools, restaurants, and other services are close by, with a TGV station and international airport easily accessible.
With its rich history, adaptable layout, and generous proportions, this property represents a wonderful opportunity to create a distinctive home near one of France’s most iconic wine?growing regions—whether as a grand family residence, a home with guest accommodation, or a sensitively modernised retreat.

Opening Hours
By appointmentDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
