Overview

Step through the wrought-iron gates of **Château de Meilhan**, where the golden hues of Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s countryside spill across 43,000 square meters of private domain—a sanctuary where history and modernity dance in perfect harmony. Built in 1790 as a testament to elegance, this **461 m² masterpiece** was lovingly restored in 2021, its original soul preserved beneath a veil of contemporary luxury, all unfolding across a single, effortless level.

Here, **fifteen sun-drenched chambers** unfold like the pages of a forgotten novel, each of the **ten bedrooms** cradling its own private sanctuary of marble and light—en-suite baths whispering of indulgence, where morning sun filters through tall, heritage windows. The château’s bones hum with stories: **five independent dépendances**, ripe with possibility, stand ready to become ateliers for artists, a spa bathed in lavender and steam, or a grand salon where laughter from *cousinades* or wine-tasting soirées lingers into the star-strewn night.

Outside, **two sweeping terraces (122 m²)** beckon—one for dawn’s first café crème as mist curls over the vine-kissed hills, the other for twilight apéritifs beneath a sky ablaze with Bordeaux’s famed sunsets. The land itself is a living canvas: rolling meadows, dappled with wildflowers, stretch toward the horizon, where the only interruption is the distant chime of a village church or the rustle of cypress trees in the *mistral* wind.

This is a château **not just to inhabit, but to reimagine**. A **turnkey legacy** for the visionary—the couple dreaming of a boutique *hôtel particulier*, the investor seeking a canvas for wellness retreats, the family yearning for a gathering place where generations weave new memories into ancient stone. The bones are here: **energy-efficient brilliance (Classe Climat A)**, a location cradled by convenience (a **five-minute drive** to rustic bistros and doctors, **ten to *écoles maternelles***), and a financial grace note—**honoraires à la charge du vendeur**, leaving your dreams unburdened.

Meilhan is more than an address; it is an **invitation to write the next chapter** of a 234-year-old love affair with the land. The energy of the past pulses through its veins, yet every modern comfort—from the silent hum of underfloor heating to the seamless flow of its single-level design—ensures life here is as effortless as it is enchanting. The numbers? A mere **€3,543–4,793 annual energy spend**, a whisper against the value of waking each day in a place where time slows, and the soul expands.

This is **not just a château**. It is a **provenance**, a **promise**, a **palette waiting for your brushstrokes**. The question is not whether you can afford the dream—but whether you dare to claim it.
