Set in almost half an acre, the gates open onto a beautifully landscaped garden enclosed by stone walls. Beyond the flowering borders, the house reveals its south-facing cut-stone facade.
Built around 1850 and comprehensively renovated in 2016, this 219 m2 residence combines the charm of a traditional bourgeois house with the comfort of a contemporary home.
Its original proportions, stonework and generous volumes have been carefully preserved, while underfloor gas heating, air conditioning, double-flow ventilation, home automation, an electric vehicle charging point and a micro wastewater treatment system provide modern-day comfort.
The renovation has been carried out to an exceptional standard, with meticulous attention to detail.
The ground floor is centred around a generous living and dining area of almost 75 m2, running through the house and filled with southern light, with a fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a heated veranda.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms include two suites with private shower rooms, offering comfortable accommodation for family and guests.
Outside, almost 2,000 m2 of south-facing gardens, enclosed by stone walls, create a wonderfuly private setting.
The 12 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool is heated by a heat pump and accompanied by a pool house with a living area and shower room, which could readily be adapted as an independent guest accommodation.
A well, petanque court and double garage complete the property.
A rare combination of character, exceptional renovation and a privileged setting, with the added advantage of being within easy reach of everything: the Saint-Emilion golf course is just 5 minutes away, local amenities 10 minutes, the TGV railway station 25 minutes and Bordeaux Airport 45 minutes minutes.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
