Elegant & Prestigious Chateau with Outbuildings & 2 Hectares of

Property Description

A prestigious chateau with origins dating back to around 1240AD; the original owners were connected to the French Royal family and lived on the estate for over 600years, enjoying prominent governmental positions in both Bordeaux and the medieval town of Bazas. Stonework belonging to the original chateau can still be found in the gardens today. The current chateau was constructed around 1780 in the french baroque style, including elements of Roccoco design to the interior and exterior. The chateau currently offers a large light & airy entrance hall, a kitchen/breakfast room, 4 large reception rooms and a ground floor master suite. On the 1st floor there are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms - with a further room to renovate should further accommodation be required. From the entrance hall there is a concealed staircase leading to the lower ground floor vaulted original kitchens, which retains the original fireplaces, stone ovens and Butlers' wine store. There are 4 further rooms off this historical marvel that are currently used for storage and as a boiler room. There is also access to the ground floor pool side garden. Multiple outbuildings including stables, garaging and a Pigeonnier, which would make a fabulous summer kitchen (next to the swimming pool), are situated around a large courtyard with separate access. There is also a guest house which is in need of renovation, currently separated into 2 apartments. The property is set in 2 hectares of mature grounds with wonderful far-reaching views across the Garonne valley.
