Vineyard Château with Strong Development Potential Close to Bordeaux
Set on an elevated plateau opposite the famed slopes of Saint-Émilion, with the River Dordogne lying between, this distinguished estate is centred on an elegant château of noble origins. Built in 1763 as the hunting lodge of the Marquis de Guinot, its classic stone architecture, symmetrical façade, and refined proportions give the property a graceful presence in its commanding position.
Inside, the château offers a sequence of generous, light-filled rooms that retain their original charm, with period fireplaces, traditional local floor tiles, and wooden panelling. Long views stretch across the surrounding landscape. Several unused rooms—once occupied by estate workers—now invite transformation into guest suites, offices, or creative spaces. The expansive loft area also provides potential for additional accommodation or leisure facilities, subject to the necessary permissions.
The château’s stone cellar houses the estate’s historic winery, complete with traditional concrete wine tanks—an atmospheric reminder of its viticultural heritage.
Outside, mature gardens are beautifully planted, with established trees providing shade, structure, and a sense of timeless calm. Numerous stone barns and former agricultural buildings surround the château, offering excellent versatility for storage, workshops, or future conversion projects.
The property is sold with over twenty hectares of vines situated on the plateau, currently cultivated under a yearly tenancy. This arrangement would allow the new owners to enjoy the prestige and landscape of a vineyard estate without the responsibility of daily management—or, alternatively, they could decide to revive the winery and commercialise the estate independently.
Though peaceful and rural, the château enjoys excellent accessibility: local amenities are close by, and Bordeaux’s outskirts can be reached in around twenty minutes.
A rare opportunity to acquire a historic former hunting lodge with mature grounds, substantial outbuildings, vineyard land, and exceptional views, in one of the region’s most sought-after settings.

Opening Hours
By appointmentDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
