estate for sale Le Vibal, Aveyron

Fabulous renovated 18th-century wine chateau with its own vineyard, listed as a residence belonging to the Bordeaux aristocracy, situated in its own grounds in the Haut Medoc appellation, just 22 kms from the centre of the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux and a short walk to 2 villages with restaurants, cafes and shops. The property's small vineyard is currently producing around 2,500 bottles of its own wine every year. The château itself boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are on the ground floor with the beautiful master suite with its own dressing room and sumptuous bathroom to the first floor. There are a further 3 bath or shower rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen, a huge living/dining room, a library, a TV room, a spacious office with mezzanine plus another large room with fireplace waiting to be restored. In the grounds are wealth of outbuildings including the old stable block with original cobbled floor, a charming old greenhouse, a stunning water tower and 3 individual properties which are currently rented out (a future owner would need to reapply for the necessary permissions). To the side of the chateau, with their own entrances are a small guest house with one bedroom and a large 3 bedroom house with their own independent entrances. Both need renovating (subject to necessary permissions) but could generate a further attractive rental income.The gardens, including an orchard and fish pond surround the chateau, which is entered by its own large wrought iron gates. It is rare to find such a magnificent chateau with its own vineyard in the Haut Medoc appellation plus a substantial rental income so close to the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux and viewing is highly recommended.
