Full Description


Recently renovated to high standard while retaining original features, this stunning 7 bedroom property is set on the edge of a village with views across fields, vineyards and a lake.

The central, 3m high entrance from the South-West facing terrace leads through to a light-filled double living room on the left, with working fireplace and beautiful wood floors. On the right is a spacious dining room with another fireplace, wood floors and a South-West aspect. A wide central hallway is a key feature of the property leading to all the rooms on the ground floor. It includes various bookcases and places for art and shows off the original terracotta tile flooring found throughout many of the rooms on this level. At one end of the hall, and next to the dining room is a stunning kitchen with a gorgeous island, and working fireplace, all renovated in 2018. Hidden behind a concealed door is a practical laundry room. The kitchen leads into a cosy living space, with another fireplace and double doors leading out to the terrace.

Still on the ground floor, there are 3 rooms based around a private inner courtyard with its feature olive tree. The first is the master bedroom with walk-through dressing area and separate lavatory, and one of the most stunning bathrooms we have seen, with bespoke cabinetry, italian shower, feature bath and lavatory. The second courtyard room is an office, again with original flooring, and the third is a guest bedroom with shower and lavatory. Finally, at the end of the main corridor, is a further bedroom with en suite shower room.

The stairs lead up to the first floor with lavatory, bathroom, games room, a lovely children's room with several beds, another shower room and 3 further bedrooms.

Outside is a covered parking area for up to 3 cars, and a barn that is currently used for wine-making, including a chais, an aging room and several storage areas as well as a large workshop. There is potential to continue hobby winemaking if further vines are planted, or perhaps to convert the barn into one or two guest annexes or gites (subject to necessary permissions).

Directly outside the house is the South-West facing stone terrace of over 100 square metres, overlooking the natural gardens with mature trees and views across to the village and its church. Perfect for evening drinks or meals outside. The garden is flat and there is potential for a lovely swimming pool (subject to necessary permissions). There is a second terrace made of wood a little further away from the house, originally designed for an artist to use when capturing the surrounding countryside and nearby lake. The property comes with over 2.5 hectares of land, some of which has some remaining vines and the rest is pasture.

Just 20 km from Saint Emilion and 88 km from Bordeaux, this property would make a fantastic home or holiday property for a large family or for anyone who appreciates beautiful stone properties renovated with a serious amount of style and with quality built-in.
