Elegant Maison De Maître House between Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion

Property Description

Nestled in the heart of a charming village, in a peaceful and unspoilt setting, this remarkable property enjoys a privileged location just 10 minutes from Saint-Émilion, 15 minutes from Libourne, and 35 minutes from Bordeaux and its international airport.

Hidden behind an elegant wrought-iron gate, at the end of a long driveway winding through beautifully landscaped grounds with magnificent century-old trees, this elegant 18th-century Girondine home gradually reveals all its grandeur. Completely hidden from the road, it offers an private setting where the charm of Maison de Maître blends seamlessly with a warm and welcoming family atmosphere.

Offering over 700 m² of living space across the principal residence and a beautifully renovated independent guest house, the property has retained the defining features of Bordeaux's finest period homes: impressive ceiling heights, original parquet flooring, stone and marble fireplaces, period joinery and generous proportions.

The main house, extending to approximately 540 m², is centred around a magnificent through entrance hall, enhanced by a striking stone staircase. Three elegant reception rooms, bathed in natural light, flow effortlessly, while the spacious family kitchen, dominated by an impressive stone fireplace, forms the true heart of the home.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to 4 generous bedrooms, of which 3 are en-suite and 2 further bedrooms.

Designed for entertaining, a superb reception room of approximately 70 m² extends the main living spaces. Opening directly onto the garden and swimming pool, it features a bar, a wood-burning stove and a large dormitory, providing the perfect setting for hosting family and friends throughout the year.
A beautiful vaulted wine cellar completes the property.

Away from the main house, a former barn has been entirely renovated in a contemporary style. Exposed stonework, original beams, polished concrete floors and expansive glazing create an elegant and light-filled atmosphere. The impressive open-plan living area, centred around a spectacular kitchen with a large central island, opens generously onto the gardens, while upstairs two spacious bedroom suites each benefit from a private shower room and direct access to an elegant external gallery overlooking the park and the village church.

The property offers a total of nine bedrooms and eight bath or shower rooms, providing exceptional flexibility as either a substantial family home or for a hospitality business in one of the region's most sought-after locations, just moments from Saint-Émilion.

The landscaped enclosed garden forms a beautiful green haven, home to magnificent trees, an orchard, a vegetable garden and well.
To the rear of the house, the north-facing aspect provides welcome shade throughout the summer months, allowing the terrace, summer kitchen and 10 × 5 metre swimming pool to be enjoyed in complete comfort. A pétanque court and expansive lawns complete this exceptional outdoor setting.

A rare period property offering outstanding family and lifestyle appeal, together with excellent hospitality potential, in one of the Gironde's most desirable locations between Bordeaux, Libourne and Saint-Émilion.
