luxury house with panoramic view for sale Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts, France

This former cognac farmhouse was completely rebuilt with respect for its original 19th-century architecture. A project completed in 2010, the current owner has spared no effort or expense to make it extremely practical and energy efficient. At that time, an example of progressive and ecological thinking, resulting in a minimal cost of energy and water consumption, mainly thanks to the installation of underfloor heating with a geothermal heat pump, a rainwater circuit with a collection tank of 24,000 liters, a built-in air ventilation system, good insulation and high-quality double glazing. Given the current energy crisis, this is an absolute plus. On the ground floor there is a spacious living area that opens onto an immense south-facing terrace, from where you have a phenomenal view of the lower rolling hills and the estuary of the Gironde, where on a nice day you can see the ships passing by. Furthermore, an office, a garage/workshop and a fitted kitchen with staircase to the lower level where we find the wine cellar and technical room and from where we also have access to the garden, the authentic bread oven and a covered parking and storage area. On the second floor there are 4 bedrooms and 4 ensuite bathrooms, all south facing and with the same breath-taking view. The property is on 1.5ha, located amidst the vineyards of the Côtes de Blaye on the one hand and the emblematic appellation of Cognac on the other, just 45 minutes from Royan. All amenities at less than 5 minutes and Mirambeau at 9 km.
