Beautiful 17th C. Property near Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion (Gironde department)

Ref.4448 : French property with swimming pool for sale near Bordeaux.
In the countryside, at the end of a 400 m driveway, you pass through a majestic stone gate and enter this hamlet, built out of sight and out of mind, surrounded by trees and meadows. A hamlet of privacy, peace and tranquillity enclosed by rubble stone walls.

This 1.7-hectare country estate dates back to the 17th century. The size and number of outbuildings suggest that the property held an important status and role in the region. Inscriptions on the walls and ornamentation also provide an insight into the historical occupation of the site.

When you arrive at the property, you'll discover a group of buildings in an enchanting setting, with lovely walks in the woods or along the stream.
The location and programming of the site make it ideal for a variety of private and/or professional projects.
