Nestled on 1.7 hectares of pristine land at the end of a long, private driveway, this stunning estate is the epitome of a French countryside haven. This historic property, dating back to the early 17th century, has been meticulously restored by its current owners, seamlessly blending traditional materials and craftsmanship with modern elegance. The estate comprises two expansive houses surrounding a central courtyard, numerous outbuildings, and lush gardens adorned with mature trees, private woodlands, and a gentle stream. It offers a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity while being just minutes away from a bustling market town and within easy reach of Bordeaux, its international airport, and direct TGV connection to Paris. The grand and spacious main house features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideal for hosting a large family or guests. Modern finishes are beautifully integrated with original features, such as spiral stone staircases and traditional fireplaces. The fully equipped kitchen, boasting modern appliances and generous counter space, is perfect for culinary enthusiasts. The expansive dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining, with picturesque views of the garden through large, original windows. The living room is perfect for relaxing evenings or leisurely daytime breaks. Completing this exceptional home are a laundry room, office, studio/workshop, and wine cellar. The second house is currently operated as a highly successful holiday rental business, which could easily be continued by new owners. It features spacious, open-plan living areas on the ground floor, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a private, south-facing walled garden. Exposed stone walls, oak beams, and natural wood flooring create a warm, contemporary ambiance throughout. Outside, a variety of spaces invite you to enjoy the meticulously maintained gardens and abundant natural beauty. The pool area, a private retreat for relaxation and fun, boasts a large (10x5 meter) saltwater pool surrounded by stone walls, climbing roses, a wisteria-covered pergola, and a hornbeam hedge. The orchard is home to apple, apricot, and cherry trees, while ancient walnut trees line the driveway, and expansive lawns offer ample space for outdoor activities. Alternatively, you can wander through the private woodlands and listen to the stream that winds through the property. A large, well-preserved barn awaits conversion, presenting a fantastic development opportunity, whether as a workshop, leisure space, or additional guest accommodation. Ideally situated, this unique property is just 20 minutes from the charming village of Saint-Émilion, famed for its world-class wines, 40 minutes from Bordeaux with its rich history, vibrant culture, and world-class dining and shopping, and a little over an hour from the stunning beaches of the Atlantic coast.
