Overview
In the golden, vine-streaked hills of Bégadan—where the Gironde’s gentle breezes carry the scent of oak and ripe Merlot—lies an estate of rare ambition. This is no ordinary property, but a **1,700m² canvas of possibility**, its soaring volumes and wide, sun-drenched openings whispering of a future as grand as its past. Here, within **5,900m² of meticulously maintained grounds**, the bones of a wine empire endure: **stainless steel vats gleaming with a 4,100-hectoliter capacity**, their cool surfaces humming with untold vintages, while sturdy concrete cuves stand ready with 645 hectoliters more. The land itself, **flat and generous**, welcomes tractors, trucks, and dreams alike—an invitation to craft, to build, to leave a mark upon Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s storied terroir.
But this is more than a winemaker’s domain. It is a **blank scroll for the visionary**—a place where the clink of glassware in a future tasting room might one day mingle with the murmur of guests in a boutique hotel, or where the quiet industry of a private estate could unfold behind wrought-iron gates. The **option to claim 12 hectares (30 acres) of rolling meadows** extends the horizon further still, a verdant expanse where morning mist curls over grass kissed by Bordeaux’s fabled sun.

And should you seek respite from your grand design, a **charming 140m² house—built in 1996 and nestled just steps away**—awaits. Its walls, warmed by decades of golden afternoons, offer a private sanctuary where the day’s ambitions can soften into evening’s repose. Here, the **practical poetry of the estate reveals itself**: the ease of access for machinery and guests alike, the seamless flow between labor and leisure, the rare marriage of **scale and soul**.
Bégadan, a village where time moves like the slow turn of a wine press, cradles this opportunity. It is a place for those who hear the call of legacy—not as a relic, but as a living, breathing **challenge to create**. Whether you envision a **modern château where artisanal wines earn global acclaim**, a **private compound where family and friends gather beneath century-old skies**, or an **entrepreneurial haven where passion meets profit**, this estate stands ready. The vats are filled with potential. The land, with promise. The question remains: **What will you pour into it?**
