Aquitaine, Gironde, Monsegur, France

Ref. KM1022 - Dominating the beautiful surrounding Aquitaine countryside from its elevated position, this magnificent Chateau with history dating back to the 15th Century is superbly located about an hour by car (or c.20 mins by helicopter) from Bordeaux and Bergerac airports.
The region is noted for its sunny microclimate, favoured by wonderful cool breezes from the Atlantic.
Renovated and finished to an exceptionally high standard, the Chateau offers classic French historic charm & prestige, but combined with all the comforts of a luxury modern residence.
With panoramic views over vineyards, orchards and meadows, the Chateau is located in the centre of its estate (around 23 acres), approached from front or rear by long driveways, and offers complete seclusion & privacy; however, several of the lively historic towns of the Bastide region are nearby, with a wide choice of restaurants, markets, shops and all other practical & leisure amenities.
The main building offers spacious accommodation including 2 large salons (one equipped with a discrete home cinema system), dining room, breakfast room, bar, 7 bedrooms + bath/shower rooms, kitchen, pantry, and linen storage room. Furniture and other contents are available under separate negotiation.
An impressive detached courtyard complex includes stables, garaging for up to 9 cars, a custom-built exercise/games annexe, offices, workshop, store rooms, laundry cleaning & storage facilities, and boiler & pump room.
Within the courtyard is the 39ft x 19.5ft swimming pool (with Roman ends), with extensive open and covered terraces and a pool house incorporating summer kitchen, shower & wc facilities and storage for pool furniture.
The property also includes a guest/guardian cottage, with fully-equipped kitchen/dining room, salon, utility room, boiler room/store, 3 bedrooms and 2 bath/shower rooms.
The grounds are attractively landscaped with a range of trees and plants, and there are numerous individual terrace areas. A further 35 acres (approx) of adjacent meadows, with superb potential for equestrian use, are available by separate negotiation; in the centre of this land there is also a large barn with an existing small cottage and planning permission to create a spacious additional residence if required.
