French Fairytale
Set in open countryside and approached by a long drive, this handsome and particularly spacious and airy 19 century Mansion or « Maison de Maitre » reveals itself. It’s the principal house in the area, finely built and professionally restored, remodeled and extended, combining original features with modern comfort with four bedrooms on the first floor and 2 bathrooms.
It is privately situated in an elevated position with uninterrupted views over the vineyards towards a fantastic lively village with shops.
The accommodation has pleasingly generous proportions with large rooms on both floors with period and new features blending to create a timeless atmosphere. The large kitchen/diner has arched French doors with a limestone surround which open onto a south facing terrace. The even larger ‘salon’ opens up via 3 French doors onto the garden and pool area. In addition to the efficient central heating system, there are 3 good quality wood burners for cosy winter evenings.
For when friends and family visit (and they will!!) there is a completely independent, high-end guest cottage with two bedrooms. This could also be rented out for some pocket money during the summer months…It is attached to the large barn at a discreet distance from the main house for maximum privacy.
The garden area of approx 2 hectares is relatively low maintenance and the swimming pool is well situated in a separate area to the south with breathtaking views. Together with the fantastic pool house, this is THE place to be in spring, summer and also our ‘indian’ summer (Gascon autumn)!
Rarely does one come across such beauty and refinement.
