4 Bed House for sale
Saint-Emilion, Gironde, Aquitaine, France
Full Description
In a peaceful village in the Saint-Émilion area, the gates open onto a beautifully landscaped garden enclosed by stone walls. Beyond the flowering borders, the house reveals its south-facing cut-stone façade, while the view extends over the surrounding countryside and vineyards.
Built around 1850 and comprehensively renovated in 2016, this 245 m² residence combines the charm of a traditional bourgeois house with the comfort of a contemporary home. Its original proportions, stonework and generous volumes have been carefully preserved, while underfloor gas heating, air conditioning, double-flow ventilation, home automation, an electric vehicle charging point and a micro wastewater treatment system provide modern-day comfort. The renovation has been carried out to an exceptional standard, with meticulous attention to detail.
The ground floor revolves around a generous living and dining area of almost 75 m², running through the house and filled with southern light, with a fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a heated veranda. Upstairs, four double bedrooms include two suites with private shower rooms, offering comfortable accommodation for family and guests.
Outside, almost 2,000 m² of south-facing gardens, enclosed by stone walls, create a wonderfully private setting. The 12 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool is heated by a heat pump and accompanied by a pool house with a living area and shower room, which could readily be adapted as an independent guest accommodation. A well, pétanque court and double garage complete the property.
A rare combination of character, exceptional renovation and a privileged setting, with the added advantage of being within easy reach of everything: the Saint-Émilion golf course is just 5 minutes away, local amenities 10 minutes, the TGV railway station 25 minutes and Bordeaux Airport 45mn minutes.
A property best appreciated in person: the southern light, the stone and the garden tell the rest of the story.
