LITTLE VERSAILLES – Wine estates of 85 HA

This historic château set in 35 ha of parkland – yet only 25 mins from Avignon – is one of the region’s most beautiful residences.

LITTLE VERSAILLES

The château was completely rebuilt in the early 19th century. Neoclassical in style and in a slightly elevated position, it enjoys a superb setting among mature trees. The grandiose hall in the main part of the building opens into 5 spacious historic rooms, featuring period marblework, columns, ceilings and caisson windows. A beautiful grand staircase leads to 6 bedrooms, each decorated in its own style. The majestic south façade opens onto a terrace with a grand staircase and balustrade, while the château’s magnificent park boasts a swimming pool, pool house and tennis court.

VINEYARD

The wine production takes place 5 mins from the château, with a 50 ha appellation vineyard cultivated by the owner and tenant farmers. This comprises 3 main plots standing on complementary terroirs, with Grenache and Syrah as the chief grape varieties. One part of the vineyard is in good condition, while another section requires renewal.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

This château of exceptional quality would make a unique setting for a home, or the foundation for a first-rate wine tourism centre (receptions, events, holiday lettings).

CELLAR & ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS

A traditionally equipped winery at the heart of the vineyard allows wines to be produced, aged and stored on site. This estate also incorporates storehouses, tasting cellars and an office. Further outbuildings adjoining the château would lend themselves to developing a prestige wine tourism activity. Approximately 1,000 m² of floor space available.
