Detached House & Established Gîtes, St Emilion, Gironde

Property Description

With origins dating back to the 14th Century, this collection of buildings, now a beautiful country house & gîtes, have a great sense of history with character features throughout.  Fortunately certain recently installed modernisations mean this is now a significantly more comfortable place to stay than it would have been 500 years ago and the property is in excellent condition.  With swimming pool pretty gardens and a lovely secluded location not far from St Emilion, if you are looking for an income generating property, this would be great contender.

The main house has a great entertaining space and 3 double bedrooms.  There are two gîtes up and running and the third requires finishing but the utility works have been completed.  

There is a total 322m2 habitable space across the buildings.  Here’s the current arrangement:

The general condition of the property is excellent, the roof is sound and the septic tank is compliant with current regulations.  The main house has double-glazing, gas central heating and wood-burning stoves

Outside:

The land covers and area of 3799m2 and, should you have any wayward wandering dogs, it is fenced.  The main house and the two rental gîtes have private terraces and the 12 x 6m swimming pool is in the communal area of the garden.  

The garage is an open stone building and there is also an outdoor kitchen area and a well.

Location:

The property is situated in the hamlet of Puisseguin, deep in the bucolic Gironde countryside.  The riverside town of Castillon is a short drive away and very much an ‘on-the-up’ town with an energetic Mairie and a thriving community.  However, it’s probably the proximity to St Emilion that will be the main draw for visiting guests and that is just a 10 minute drive away.  Other towns and villages in the area that are well worth exploring include Pomerol, Lussac, Coutras, Montpon and Saint Étienne.  The centre of Bordeaux is just an hour away, either by train or car and it’s a 1hr 15min drive to Bordeaux airport.
