Chateau in Villefranche-sur-Saône

Nestled among vineyards and rolling hills, Mercure – Forbes Global Properties presents this exceptional château of approximately 2,000 m², a living testament to the rich history of the Beaujolais region.
Its elegant silhouette crowns a 2.8-hectare estate, blending meadows, a partially wooded classified park, and an old golden stone wine press building — a unique setting, both peaceful and full of character.

The Château – 1,282 m² of Living Space

From the moment you enter, the tone is set: grand volumes, abundant natural light, and an timeless atmosphere.
The spacious reception rooms, lounges, dining areas, and generous bedrooms invite you to host, to dream, and to imagine new stories within these historic walls.
The top floor is entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters, offering five bedrooms and convertible attics, preserving the charm of a bygone era.

Heritage enthusiasts will appreciate all the details that make a historic home so captivating: mosaic floors, Toledo ceramics, sculpted fireplaces, herringbone parquet floors, finely crafted woodwork — elements that reflect the craftsmanship of another time.

Outbuilding and Potential

Facing the château, a 366 m² former wine press building spreads over two levels. It currently accommodates offices, workshops, storage areas, and a generous 157 m² space ready to be reinvented according to your projects.
The property, already organized into two apartments and two professional units, offers exceptional flexibility, suitable for a variety of project types.
