This stunning 19th century chateau has been in the same family for several generations and there is a great sense of history with the original features intact. With beautiful gardens, productive woodland & useful outbuildings, there is so much potential here. Conveniently located in a quiet position yet with good access to road, rail & airport networks.
The accommodation at the main Maison de Maitre style house is arranged across three floors. Whilst the decor may not be to everybody's taste, the classic high-ceilings / large windows design of all the main reception rooms and bedrooms make the property so light and spacious and with a great sense of grandeur.

The current owners have had a lot of maintenance work done. The roof has been completely redone, the woodwork is perfect with excellent insulation and they have also installed a heat pump to heat the house. The resulting DPE rating of C is very unusual for a property of this age and size. The electrical fuse boards have also recently been installed with modern 'breakers'.
The grounds of the property cover approximately 17 hectares, made up as follows:
Large swimming pool & surrounding terrace
A poplar grove of about 7 hectares (1000 trees ready in 3 years)
Irrigated land of 8 hectares
The chateau's private park of 2.19hectares
The house is in a quiet location, close to the lovely riverside of town of Port Saint Mairie. There is a train station at Port Saint Marie and good access to both Bordeaux and Agen. The airports at Bergerac, Bordeaux and Toulouse are all within 90mins from the property.
