Acquiring a Château with Vineyard Becomes Affordable

The renowned architect François Thoulouze deployed his genius to design 32 prestige residences combining authenticity and traditional character with natural materials using space and light in a prodigious manner. Built using a magical formula, stone façades, exposed beams, extra-high ceilings and spectacular views, each property makes the most of the volumes, ably supported by the textures of the existing buildings.

Although some may appear similar, no two properties are identical. However, each one distinguishes itself through its proportions, a generous lounge, a high-specification kitchen, luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, superb appliances and accessories of every kind. Almost all properties come with private terraces and Mediterranean-themed gardens, shrubs and aromatic herbs. In many cases, a spa or private pool comes with the residence. The final result is synonymous with style and refinement.

Leisure Enjoy a pleasant moment browsing the newspapers in the lounge. Share an impromptu meal in the brasserie. Take in the spectacular view of the large communal pool, surrounded by Mediterranean flowers and aromatic herbs. Relax\ with a book in your garden whilst enjoying figs from the orchard freshly picked with a delicious Sauvignon from the cellar.

Challenge your neighbours to a game of petanque or clay court tennis. You can sip an aperitif on the terrace overlooking the vines and follow with an outdoor barbecue. Take a dip in the hot tub after a day of enjoying the exciting energy of the vintage … If you wish to reserve a table with a chef or a driver,\ the on-site concierge ensures you get the maximum from your stay.

With uninterrupted wine production for several centuries, the land around Saint Pierre de Serjac is recognised as a terroir for producing exceptional wines. Today, the cellar, fully renovated by the Bonfils family, can be proud to feature among the most successful French wines. The final result is a superb range of elegant wines, with all owners sharing the annual yield – estimated\ at approximately 20 cases per property.

Advantages and Benefits You wish to use your property whenever you want and without limits (summer, spring, autumn and winter, short and long stays) but you want to ensure everything is taken care of when you are not there … To this end, a full service operating all year round is provided, elevating the château to a premier destination for holidaymakers.

With its superb location, quality accommodation and excellent facilities, strong demand is expected and owners who choose to rent their properties for the majority of the high season can expect a net rental yield of around 4%.

Managing a second home can be a challenge (paying the bills, pool cleaning, garden maintenance, fixing a burst pipe or broken tiles). In this privileged site, all of this is taken care of by a service tailored to client demand ensuring total peace of mind and a hassle-free property acquisition experience, allowing you to relax whilst enjoying your property.

Prices Prices (fully furnished) range from €385,000 for a two-bedroom property up to €725,000 for a more spacious property with private garden and pool. The average price per square metre is approximately €4,700/m².

Location Despite a deliberate and successful isolation achieved in splendid fashion, the Château is only 5 minutes from the villages of Magalas, Pouzolles and Puissalicon. Of distinct character, the surrounding villages all offer the services and amenities you might expect from a dozen restaurants, cafés and bars. Add a lively market, supermarkets and dozens of clubs and societies and you will quickly find yourself immersed in a very active community life.

The immediate environment also offers a vast range of leisure facilities. The golden beaches of the Mediterranean are a 25-minute drive through the vineyards and picturesque villages of Hérault. Sea fishing, line or fly, is commonplace. The region is a paradise for gastronomes with its many vineyards to explore and markets offering the best local produce. And for the days when you feel the urge for urban life, the Château is under 20 minutes from Pézenas or Béziers and Montpellier, known as ‘the most exciting city in France’, can be reached in under an hour.

In conclusion, close to the beaches and with remarkable ease of access, the estate is a magnificent vineyard with stunning views near Béziers, Pézenas and Montpellier. The buildings are substantial character properties with splendid views and the gardens are equally beautiful, allowing you to escape for a moment. These prestige properties to a very high standard offer quality managed through services and facilities on site. Renting is facilitated through a system perfectly adapted to client needs. There are no restrictions on use or resale (unlike furnished rental for example).

Prices are 25% cheaper than what one might find for a comparable estate and about half of comparable sites on the Côte d’Azur or in Italy. This Château represents a rare opportunity to invest in a unique quality property whilst enjoying permanent access to a superb holiday home – a safe investment and a source of pleasure for generations to come.
