About this Property
Character and charm at every turn in this 18th century property with 4 separate buildings surrounding an exquisite courtyard with garden rooms and heated swimming pool.
It is a property which is perfect for entertaining. The main property of 280m2 has generous living areas, there is a 2 bed guest annexe, a two bed gite, and a huge summer house and covered terrace which could equally serve as a gallery or a yoga studio. The property is very versatile being a wonderful space for friends and family to enjoy, as well as offering the possibility as a chambres d'hotes or gite.
The main house is steeped in history and belonged to a French writer who had the vision to create the setting of the property around the private and secluded courtyard.
A double entrance door leads to an entrance hall with terracotta floors, a beautiful stone staircase leading to the first floor and a stone staircase leading to the wine cellar. The lounge has a wood floor, large stone fireplace and a French door leading to the garden. The dining room has a wood floor, two large windows and a stone fireplace and leads to the wonderful 75m2 kitchen/breakfast room with Gironde tile floor. The kitchen has a particularly warm feel about it with a stone fireplace, pretty kitchen cabinets, generous breakfast area and a 10m2 larder/laundry. To complete the downstairs accommodation there is a bedroom with ensuite shower room.
The first floor has a large window on the facade and access to the roof terrace overlooking the garden. There are two generous size bedrooms each having feature stone fireplaces and each having ensuite bathrooms. A staircase leads to an attic that could be converted subject to the necessary permissions, and covers the entire area of the main house.
The gite is approximately 75m2, it has a kitchen/living room of 42m2 which would benefit from a little updating, two bedrooms and a shower room. It has its own private garden with a glorious magnolia tree.
The guest annexe is approximately 55m2 with two bedrooms and a shared shower room.
The summer house is approximately 138m2 and currently used as a summer kitchennete, dining area, lounge and games room. There is also a good size garage and a workshop/store.
The garden rooms are very pretty and the swimming pool area has a backdrop of rose covered stone walls. It is a magical property.

Aquitaine
If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.
