The Domaine de Lavagnac - 200 hectares (500 acres) of natural luxury

The Golf Course

The 18-hole 'International' golf course is set to become one of the finest in France. It has been designed by celebrated golf course designer Ray Hearn - and will be quite radical in its approach. Unlike most modern courses, it will work with the natural topography of the land, using every natural curve and undulation in the terrain to create a very challenging course.

The Golf Club

A large Golf Club will be built to accompany the course. It will be open to all - and will boast a sun terrace with views over the course, and a wine bar and brasserie. There will also be a golf shop and an underground golf buggy park - and a 'Golf Academy' with practice areas.

The 5-Star Hotel

The Château de Lavagnac is known as the 'Versailles of Languedoc' - and its large, beautiful parlous and terraces will soon be converted and transformed into a luxurious 5-star hotel. The hotel will also offer a gourmet restaurant, and a 'champagne terrace' with views over the surrounding vines.

The Luxury Spa

A luxury spa complex will be built in the converted bergerie of the chateau- and looks set to be one of the largest and most luxurious in the south of France. It will boast an indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms and a full range of treatments. Tennis courts will be built nearby.

'La Place'

An entire village will be built within the domain that will host shops, cafés and restaurants - as well as a children's play area.

The Vineyards

The estate hosts hundreds of acres of vines - which produce some of the best wine in the region. The vineyards will continue production - and owners and their guests will be invited to get involved in the wine-making process.
