This magnificent and extraordinary chateau, built in 1887, is located in the greater Montpellier region in the Languedoc-Roussillon area.
It is nestled in the heart of a beautiful 4.5 hectare bicentennial park. Not only the exterior, but also the interior is quite captivating.
All the period features have been carefully preserved, while modern comforts have been added.
The charm is overwhelming with its authenticity, such as the high ceilings, the beautiful original floors throughout, 10 beautiful fireplaces, large doors, staircases, and more.
The rooms are spacious and very bright; each offers a view of the beautiful green setting, and on the upper floors, the landscape is presented in all its splendour.
The living room, formal dining room, and library open directly onto the terrace, which provides access to this beautiful park and unique garden. Almost all rooms have a bathroom or shower room with wc and are individually decorated.
The parkland offers lovely, interesting strolls amidst the large number of different species such as pines, Atlas cedars, holm and white oaks, lime trees, etc. , as well as typically Mediterranean shrubs, herbs, and flowers such as oleander, broom, jasmine, lavender, wild asparagus, orchids, poppies, and many others.
There are also various plantations; in fact, the entire grounds have been maintained organically for the past 30 years.
Around thirty olive trees allow you to produce your own olive oil.
About 1,500 vines bring friends together every year for the harvest and, of course, to taste the wine later.
In other corners of this vast space, there are plantations of various species of nuts, citrus fruits, and, of course, a vegetable garden. The property's flora and fauna are truly exceptional, in addition there is a bird population of approximately 70 species, some of which are extremely rare.
Although this extraordinary chateau is located in a marvellous setting, major transport hubs, cities, and the sea can be reached within 20 minutes to an hour. Shops and restaurants just a few minutes away.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
