Nestling on the heights of a hillside overlooking the Garonne, this confidential property offers its guests a unique view of the valley, embracing in a single glance the reflections of the river and the rows of poplars in the distance. The grounds of around 1.5 hectares comprise a main courtyard, a terraced garden encircled by an elegant stone balustrade, and a shady garenne inviting you to take a stroll.
The main house, a beautifully proportioned stone Girondine, spans almost 600 m² of living space over two stories. There is a succession of generously proportioned reception rooms (lounge, dining room, library), twelve bedrooms, preserved period features (parquet flooring, fireplaces, mouldings) and a timeless charm. In the dining room, the transoms above the doors feature subtle bas-reliefs illustrating the Fables of La Fontaine, a delicate nod to the spirit of the place and to French culture. The living rooms open onto the terrace, shaded by hundred-year-old lime trees, where the light dances between the leaves and the memories.
A little further away, a vast outbuilding of more than 600 m² houses two dwellings, a former wine storehouse, a tobacco drying room and attics… all spaces that can be reinvented for a family, artistic or tourist project. Further down, the remains of an orangery await rebirth.
Behind its peaceful façade, this place hides a thousand stories: local roots, travelling hospitality, the living memory of an art of living. Just 4 minutes from La Réole TER station (35 minutes from Bordeaux Saint-Jean) and close to all amenities, the property combines the intimacy of a country estate with the accessibility of a place to live just outside the city.
As Michel Serres, philosopher and native of the Garonne, once said: ‘Nature here is a school of complexity’. And even more: ‘The Garonne is the river that taught me to think’. These words have a special resonance here, where the light of the Entre-deux-Mers illuminates the past and inspires the future.
