Situated on 1.7 hectares of land at the end of a long, private driveway, this beautiful property is the perfect French country retreat. An historic estate, dating from the beginning of the 17th century, it has been lovingly restored by the current owners, blending traditional materials and craftsmanship with contemporary style.

The property has two large houses set around a central courtyard, numerous outbuildings and extensive gardens with mature trees, private woods and a stream. It offers a haven of peace and tranquillity yet is only minutes from a busy market town and within easy reach of Bordeaux and its international airport and direct TGV link to Paris.

The elegant and spacious main house offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, perfect for hosting a large family or friends. Contemporary finishes combine with the many original features, such as spiral stone staircases and traditional fireplaces. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances and ample counter space, is ideal for preparing meals. The spacious dining room provides the perfect entertaining space, with lovely views to the garden through the large, original windows. The living room is ideal for relaxing evenings or for taking time out during the day. A laundry room, office, studio/workshop and wine cellar complete this exceptional home.

The second house is currently run as a very successful holiday rental business, which could easily be continued by a new owner. It offers large, open-plan living spaces on the ground floor, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a private, south-facing, walled garden. Exposed stone walls, oak beams and natural wood flooring ensure a warm, contemporary feel throughout.

Outside there are a variety of spaces from which to appreciate the perfectly maintained gardens and abundant nature. The pool area, a private oasis for relaxation and fun, has a large (10x5 metre) saltwater pool surrounded by stone walls, climbing roses, a wisteria-covered pergola and hornbeam hedge. The orchard is planted with apple, apricot and cherry trees, while ancient walnut trees line the driveway and expansive lawns provide space for outdoor activities. Alternatively, you can stroll through the private woods and listen to the stream that meanders through the property.

A large, well-preserved barn awaits conversion and provides a fantastic development opportunity, whether as a workshop, leisure space or additional guest accommodation.

Ideally located, this unique property is just 20 minutes from the charming town of Saint-Émilion, renowned for its world-class wines, 40 minutes from Bordeaux, with its rich history, vibrant culture and world-class dining and shopping, and little more than an hour from the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic coast.
