Château de Cottens Between views & vineyards
Once upon a time....le Château de Cottens.
Edified in the 18th century, on foundations that date back to the 16th century, this historic residence is the ideal place for those who dream of becoming a Châtelaine or Châtelain. Currently comprising 5 apartments with 20 rooms, the Château is a jewel of undeniable charm, nestled in the beautiful vineyards of the village of Begnins, with breathtaking views of the lake and Mont Blanc. The building, with 700 m2 of living space, has retained some of its original architectural features, giving it a definite old-world cachet. Trumeaux, peristyles and exceptional woodwork are there to tell the story of the place. This one-of-a-kind property - to be renovated - benefits from an expansion reserve of 1'000 m2 floor, offering a most interesting renovation potential to its future purchaser.It should also be noted that the property has a commercial use, which could prove useful to a future buyer wishing to open the premises to the public through a commercial activity.
The annexes
An ancient tower provides access to the various floors of the Château, right up to the dovecote at its highest point. The building features a wine press and former stables, which are just waiting to be renovated. A garage for various collector's cars, offices or new accommodation - anything is possible. The Château has its own water source.
Exteriors
The Château is accessed via a beautiful, unobtrusive driveway lined with large, centuries-old trees, leading to its inner courtyard with a period fountain at its center. The park then divides into two main sections, to the south and west of the Château, totalling over 10,000 m2 of land. The gardens are laid out on different levels and offer both relaxation and reception areas, with magnificent views of the lake and Mont Blanc. There is also a one-hectare vineyard, producing a highly prized local wine.
