SOLD BY GROUPE MERCURE FORBES
In the Gironde, in the Entre-deux-Mers region of Capian, 28 km from Bordeaux train station and 8 km from the Abbey of Sauve-Majeure, this former wine château is situated in the heart of the historic Bordeaux vineyards on the plateaux overlooking the Garonne valley. Built on the ruins of a former fortified farm, as evidenced by the wooden spiral staircase in the living room, the manor house has been transformed over time into a comfortable, middle-class country house spanning 340 m2 on two levels, with the possibility of converting the attic space (R+2). It also includes, on the other side of the courtyard, a second, completely independent house of 240 m2, converted into the outbuildings, mostly on one level, and just as comfortable as the main house. The property also includes former wine storehouses (540 m2), stables (176 m2) and a storage shed (200 m2). The property is set in the heart of a 17.2 hectare estate that includes a lake (a wetland in summer), parkland, a former orchard and around fifteen hectares of woodland. The vines have been sold separately
