House in Macau
Macau, Arrondissement de Bordeaux
Fabulous renovated 18th-century wine chteau with its own vineyard, listed as a residence belonging to the Bordeaux aristocracy, situated in its own grounds in the Haut Médoc appellation, just 22kms from the centre of the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux and a short walk to 2 villages with restaurants, cafés and shops. The property’s small vineyard is currently producing around 2,500 bottles of its own wine every year. The chteau itself boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are on the ground floor with the beautiful master suite with its own dressing room and sumptuous bathroom to the first floor. There are a further 3 bath or shower rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen, a huge living/dining room, a library, a TV room, a spacious office with mezzanine plus another large room with fireplace waiting to be restored. In the grounds are wealth of outbuildings including the old stable block with original cobbled floor, a charming old greenhouse, a stunning water tower and 3 individual properties which are currently rented out (a future owner would need to reapply for the necessary permissions). To the side of the chteau, with their own entrances are a small guest house with one bedroom and a large 3 bedroom house with their own independent entrances. Both need renovating (subject to necessary permissions) but could generate a further attractive rental income. The gardens, including an orchard and fish pond surround the chteau, which is entered by its own large wrought iron gates. It is rare to find such a magnificent chteau with its own vineyard in the Haut Médoc appellation plus a substantial rental income so close to the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux and viewing is highly recommended.

France
Property for sale in France is cheapest where rural depopulation has been sharpest, and dearest along the south coast and in the Alps. Prices run from around €30,000 (£26,000) to over €2m, though only 169 homes sit under €100,000.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine holds the largest share of rural stock, with Dordogne the most searched part of it. Use the filters to narrow by region, price and property type.
Why buy property in France
France offers more variety than any other market we cover, and the two ends of it behave very differently. Prices run from around €30,000 for a village house needing work to over €2m for a chalet in the Trois Vallées, with 1,663 homes inside a €300,000 budget. Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Normandy, Brittany and Occitanie carry the rural and small-town stock, while Provence, the Riviera and the Alps sit well above. Purchase costs add roughly 7% to 8% on a resale property, most of it the notaire fee, and the sale becomes binding after a ten-day cooling-off period.

Can foreigners buy property in France?
Yes—foreigners can buy property in France with no general restrictions on non-residents.
The purchase is handled by a French notary (notaire), who verifies title, prepares the deed, collects taxes, and registers ownership. You’ll typically need valid ID, proof of funds, and (if financing) lender documents.
Most buyers sign a preliminary contract first, then complete at the notary a few months later. If you’re buying from abroad, you can often complete using a power of attorney arranged through the notary.
For complete information on buying a property in France, download our France Buying Guide.
What is the buying process in France?
A typical France purchase follows:
(1) offer accepted,
(2) sign the preliminary contract (often compromis de vente or promesse de vente) with key conditions (e.g., mortgage approval),
(3) buyer cooling-off period (commonly 10 days for non-professional buyers),
(4) notary due diligence (title, charges, planning, pre-emption rights),
(5) arrange finance/insurance and transfer funds,
(6) sign the final deed (acte authentique) at the notary and receive keys,
(7) registration is completed by the notary. Avoid paying large deposits before the notary confirms terms and protections.
Most estate agents in France will be equipped to assist you with this process. We strongly recommend seeking an independent legal assistance such as a lawyer who specialises in French property purchases.
