Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This small estate comprises a main house, two smaller houses, barn and well planted gardens with swimming pool. It is in a highly desirable location in the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, one of Bordeaux's better known wine appellations. The property is on the edge of one of the region's prettiest villages and is surrounded by equally charming towns, hamlets and magnificent countryside.

The main house covers three floors, with cellars and original kitchens on the ground floor. Above that, and opening into the gardens, are the principal living rooms and a bedroom suite, while on the top floor are three bedrooms and bathrooms plus a further sitting area. There is also a barn and laundry room attached to the house.

In the gardens are two guest cottages, each with two bedrooms. The larger cottage is two storey and has a pigeonnier while the smaller one, created from a coach house, is on one level and opens onto the property's entrance courtyard where you will find a turning circle with central water feature.

The grounds are secluded and gated with a wide selection of well chosen trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. The gardens gently rise from more formal areas adjacent to the houses to a lawned terrace with swimming pool and finally, to a meadow at the upper level.

The area is well known for its wine chateaux, but there are also several very attractive bastide towns nearby where you will find markets, entertainments and everyday shops and services. Slightly further away you will find trains and autoroutes giving quick and easy access to the magnificent city of Bordeaux.

The property is currently a much loved family home, but it lends itself to the possibility of becoming a gite or chambres d'hotes business or even a small events venue - subject, as always, to the appropriate approvals being obtained.
