luxury farmhouse for sale Gironde, France

Not far from Bordeaux, a house full of character, requiring full renovation, in 4-hectare grounds. At the end of a gravel driveway framed by pear trees, the house stands overlooking the valley. This characterful semi-detached house has two-storeys visually separated by a belt course and is situated in a hamlet away from the hustle and bustle of the town. It was built using good quality millstone. Under a roof made of Marseille flat tiles topped with a ridge cap frieze, its red rendered façades are dotted with ashlar-framed windows with shutters on the ground floor and louvred shutters on the upper level. The original marble fireplaces and straight stripped or chevron patterned wooden flooring are still present in some rooms. There is a wine storehouse adjoining the house. The entire building needs to be completely refurbished. The house is set in a rural environment, surrounded by grounds with horse chestnut, spruce, Holm oak and acacia trees. The grounds also play host to apple and fig trees. A swimming pool can be installed in the gardens. The rest of the grounds used to be planted with vines and it may be possible to sell them off separately.
