Full Description
This historic wine estate, named after a medieval fountain, was listed among the premier crus bourgeois of its wine-producing commune in the Côtes de Bourg in the 19th-century Feret guides. Separated from its vineyards about thirty years ago, it has since become a country home with a four-century-long history. At the end of the 20th century, it underwent a renovation that respected its original features.
The château, with 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, can comfortably accommodate one or two families or be converted into a guesthouse. Its 15,000 m² park, planted with noble tree species and designated as a natural area, features a pond fed by the fountain's inexhaustible water.
The blend of blonde stone and dark green shutters gives the château the appearance of a Tuscan villa in the rolling landscape of the Côtes de Bourg. An enthusiast of viticulture could restore the vat house and barrel cellar, which remain intact.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a caretaker's or guest house and large outbuildings that can accommodate five or six cars and one or two boats. Located 5 minutes from two towns, one of which is very touristic with shops and healthcare professionals, it is also 10 minutes from the Saint-André-de-Cubzac train station, providing access to Bordeaux in 10 minutes by Ter, and 10 minutes from the A10 motorway.
