Luxe Living: FRENCH CHATEAU

Owned by the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages, this historic 18th-19th century neo classical chateau is situated 40 minutes from Bordeaux. The property can trace its historical roots back to the first century AD when a Gallo-Roman villa first occupied the hill top site. The 10-bedroom estate is nestled amongst the rolling hills of the French countryside. The property is approached by a long, tree-lined drive and is framed on either side by sprawling vineyards. With gorgeous views and equipped with commercial wine making machinery, this is an enophile's dream home. It has been a wine estate since before the French Revolution and also includes an estate manager's house. With so much romance, elegance and beauty... I think I'm in love!
