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 only 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 manor house gradually reveals all its grandeur. Completely hidden from the road, it offers an exceptionally private setting where the timeless charm of a distinguished period home 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 all the defining features of Bordeaux's finest period homes: impressive ceiling heights, original parquet flooring, stone and marble fireplaces, period joinery and wonderfully 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, centred around an impressive stone fireplace, forms the true heart of the home.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to six spacious bedrooms, including a beautiful principal suite with its own private bathroom. Three further bedrooms benefit from en suite bath or shower rooms, while two additional bedrooms complete the accommodation.

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, creating the perfect setting for hosting family and friends throughout the year. A beautiful vaulted wine cellar completes the property.

Set discreetly away from the main house, a former stone barn has been entirely renovated in a refined 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 an elegant hospitality business in one of the region's most sought-after locations, just moments from Saint-Émilion.

The enclosed landscaped gardens form a beautiful green haven, home to magnificent mature trees, an orchard, a vegetable garden and an original 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, expansive lawns and a variety of mature planting 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.
