Property Description
Located 25 minutes from Dax is this 17th Century château property to restore, with 1500m² of living space plus a wine storehouse and outbuildings. Constructed in early 17th Century and completed in 1624, it is comprised of five sections with the central area serving four wings. The roof is constructed in the form of a dome and topped by a belvedere. The landscaped grounds covers 4.3 hectares (10.6 acres).
In 1206, the ruling land owners had a fortified town built on the site which had previously been chosen by the Romans for a campsite. The current, more comfortable dwelling replaced the old fortress at the beginning of the 17th Century.
The building is made up of five pavilions with the central section serving the others. The domed roof is surmounted by a belvedere. Banners outline each of the three floors. The north facing facade has an extra floor due to the slope of the land on that side.
Pediments and dentils adorn the windows and rooftops. The central area and its attached east wing appears to date from 1624. The two west wings appear to be subsequent. The other east wing predates this and was no doubt constructed initially to replace the fortress on the site.
The first floor is occupied by a reception room with a beautiful, golden coffered ceiling and an imposing fireplace with sculpted wooden mantelpiece.
The chateau is classified as a Historical Monument and offers possibilities for numerous projects for receptions, seminars etc.
You will appreciate the robustness of this building from its walls of solid local stone to the new roof framework and slate covering, work which carried out in respect of artisan traditions.
The facades and roofs have been restored. The interior of the building is to be restored. The chateau possesses several remarkable elements: the staircase of the central pavilion, the vaulted ceilings of the grand basement room, fireplaces, woodworks and floorings.
The wine storehouse is to restore, measures 400m² and is situated to the south-west of the chateau. It's loft has 135m² of space in the form of a rectangle (27x5m).
Continuing to the south of the property and outbuildings offer 600m² of space (75x8)..........................................
