19TH-CENTURY CHÂTEAU & EXCEPTIONAL VINEYARD ESTATE

98 HECTARES | 51 HECTARES OF VINES | LANGUEDOC

Set in unspoilt surroundings among vineyards, olive groves and a tree-lined park, this remarkable vineyard estate offers a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional property combining historic heritage, an enviable lifestyle and an established wine business.

Just 40 minutes from Montpellier and close to the A75 and A9 motorways, the estate is exceptionally accessible while retaining a peaceful atmosphere, away from disturbance.

AN ELEGANT CHÂTEAU WITH REFINED FEATURES

At the heart of the estate, the 19th-century château offers approximately 1,300 m² of living space over three floors. Fully renovated and redecorated over the past twenty years, it has preserved the charm and authenticity of its period architecture while incorporating fine materials, high-quality fittings and contemporary comforts.

The château is offered with most of its furnishings, which have been professionally valued and are included in the sale.

The reception rooms feature generous proportions, original parquet flooring, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, creating an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.

The property offers two reception lounges, a dining room and a music room, as well as two studies and ten bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, making it ideal for entertaining family and guests or developing a high-end hospitality business.

Central heating, double glazing, insulation and security have all been carefully designed to ensure optimum comfort throughout the year. A sauna completes the amenities.

Outside, a magnificent landscaped park, equipped with an integrated irrigation system, is home to a superb 15 x 10-metre swimming pool—an invitation to make the most of the Mediterranean way of life.

A FULLY EQUIPPED, OPERATIONAL WINEMAKING FACILITY

The estate has a large, well-maintained and fully equipped winery, with concrete, resin and refrigerated stainless-steel tanks offering a total capacity of approximately 9,000 hectolitres.

The facilities also include around fifty barrels, two closed-cage presses, bottling equipment and a wastewater treatment system that complies with current regulations.

Current production is approximately 4,000 hectolitres, offering the new owner genuine continuity of operations.

Several agricultural sheds and all the equipment required for cultivation, including a grape harvester, complete the property.

98 HECTARES OF TERROIR AMONG VINEYARDS AND OLIVE GROVES

The estate extends to approximately 98 hectares, including 68 hectares in a single block around the château, creating an impressive, unified landholding.

The vineyard comprises 51 hectares of vines in production, trained on wires and planted with a range of grape varieties, allowing for a varied output under several appellations: AOC Languedoc red and white, AOC Pézenas, IGP Pays d’Oc and IGP Côtes de Thongue.

Managed using sustainable farming practices, the vines offer interesting potential for conversion to organic farming. Approximately 90% of the vineyard benefits from a drip-irrigation system.

The estate also has nearly 1,000 olive trees in production, offering further development potential, subject to replanting.

EXCEPTIONAL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

A substantial, separate farm complex requiring renovation opens up new possibilities, with the potential to create up to five flats, subject to the necessary permissions.

With its elegance, high-quality facilities and extensive vineyard, the property is ideally suited to the development of a major wine tourism venture, including charming accommodation, private events, tastings, direct sales and wine-related experiences.

A RARE PROPERTY IN THE HEART OF LANGUEDOC

Combining the prestige of a historic residence with an established wine business and tourism development potential, this estate represents a particularly rare opportunity for an investor, wine professional or buyer looking to bring an exceptional project to life in the south of France.

Sale price excludes stock and advances on crops. Most of the château’s furnishings are included in the sale.
