35 MINUTES FROM BORDEAUX – MAGNIFICENT 18TH-CENTURY CHARTREUSE & ITS 15TH-CENTURY ESTATE - 6 HECTARES – OUTBUILDINGS – SWIMMING POOL – EXCEPTIONAL RENOVATION
Less than 20 minutes from the Aquitaine Bridge, with very quick motorway access to the centre of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to present, as an exclusive preview, one of the most remarkable properties in the region in many respects.
We are delighted to offer for sale a true 18th-century Chartreuse, approached via a majestic plane-tree lined driveway leading to a splendid entrance courtyard and its classic and elegant U-shaped layout.
The property underwent an outstanding renovation in 2022–2023 by a renowned Bordeaux architect, making it an extremely rare offering on today’s market. The restoration combines very high-end features and finishes while preserving the property’s original period elements.
Located in a charming and authentic village surrounded by vineyards and within walking distance of local shops, this exceptional estate offers approximately 750 sqm of living space, divided between the main Chartreuse (approx. 450 sqm) and its outbuildings (approx. 300 sqm).
The estate extends over 6 hectares in a single block, featuring a pond, a beautifully designed kitchen garden, and several peaceful areas dedicated to relaxation. A stunning 14 x 7 metre swimming pool with its walled garden provides complete privacy within the oldest part of the estate dating back to the 15th century. Here you will also find a very elegant pool house with a summer kitchen and shower room, all set within a beautifully landscaped environment created by the current owners. The atmosphere evokes a Tuscan spirit, with cut stone architecture and cypress trees, offering absolute tranquillity and ideal sun exposure.
Living areas:
The main house features an elegant entrance hall, an impressive 65 sqm reception lounge, a cosy adjoining winter sitting room, and a luxuriously equipped eat-in kitchen with a FALCON range cooker, reflecting a charming “gentleman farmer” spirit. The adjoining dining room is perfect for hosting large and convivial gatherings. A functional utility room and a spacious gym complete this level.
Sleeping accommodation:
On the ground floor, the Chartreuse offers a generous guest bedroom with its own shower room, as well as a magnificent master suite featuring a bespoke oak dressing room and a bathroom with both shower and bathtub, enjoying beautiful and private views over the estate grounds. A refined office completes this level and could easily be converted into a third bedroom if required.
Upstairs:
Two additional bedrooms and a shower room.
The ultimate luxury of this Chartreuse lies in its unique architecture, allowing for almost entirely single-storey living, creating a wonderful sense of space while maintaining a comfortable and human-scale layout.
The outbuildings, located in the wings of the property, include a beautifully preserved former wine cellar, a closed garage, and two large storage spaces that could be converted into independent accommodation if desired.
A major asset of this remarkable estate: the property includes two vineyard parcels, currently maintained and managed by a neighbouring winemaker, allowing the owners to enjoy a small private wine production without the constraints of managing the vineyard themselves.
The property is connected to high-speed fibre internet.
What we love:
• Immediate proximity to Bordeaux
• The authenticity and rare elegance of a genuine Chartreuse
• A complete and refined renovation
• A private, bucolic and preserved park
• The exceptional potential of this remarkable estate
