Property Description
The Château and Monastery is a magnificent building dating back partly to the 12th Century. The property was a monastery from its early beginnings, but was used as private accommodation from 1791 until 1993 and then used again from an order of monks until recently. Large parts of the building are of great historical significance and the outside wall with the crenels as well as some parts in the Château are listed as a historical monument.
This magnificent and exceptional property is in a beautiful countryside setting, surround by 59 hectares of which are 15ha of parkland and woods, 30ha of arable farmland and today 4ha of operational vineyard. A river partially forms a natural boundary. At one point this property was an operational winery with about 40ha; the wine cellar offers enough space to elevate the own wine.
This unique property offers a vast potential to the next owner and would transform particularly well into a hotel or wellbeing retreat, wedding venue, conference centre, corporate headquarters, school, multiple lodgings, vast private home or a combination of the above. If you have a similar project in mind and are considering the south of France then this property should be on your shortlist.An incredible property comprising numerous buildings set around a series of courtyards and a cloister. There are some habitable parts with more than 20 bedrooms, whilst huge space could be renovated and converted into living areas. The most imposing element is a South facing Chateau built in the style of French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc which is in need of restoration. Other buildings include a new accommodation block, built in a style which is sympathetic to the rest of the property; two further stone-built accommodation units, a chapel, a chapter house, former stable, kitchens, dining rooms, offices, workshops, farm buildings and an enormous wine production facility. Many aspects of the property have been restored by the monks, using traditional techniques and materials to stunning effect; of particular note is the cloister they have built using stone and wood which they sourced, cut and fashioned by hand to a professional standard. Further restoration has been undertaken in order to have accommodation to host guest.
There are dozens of rooms within the property of varying sizes from huge refectory and large chapel to bureaus and former monks’ cells converted into good size bedrooms. With no immediate neighbours the property is surrounded by flat farmland planted partly with vines, a lovely country side setting. The nearest village is just a couple of kilometres away, a popular market town only a short drive as well as the Mediterranean Sea and various international airports.
