House in Blaye

This property of over 5 hectares in a single block, formerly a wine-growing estate, enjoys beautiful views overlooking the Blayais countryside.

The Arcachon-inspired house comprises 10 main rooms, including a large living room extended by a veranda with views of the Gironde estuary, five bedrooms and four shower rooms.

The outbuildings include a guest house in need of renovation, wine cellars and a closed shed.

The possibility of acquiring other plots would allow for the creation of a high-quality 14-hectare vineyard in the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation.

Possibility of building a swimming pool and creating a second gîte.

The main house has approximately 228 m² of living space:

The living room opens onto a veranda leading to a terrace overlooking the countryside. The 11 m² kitchen, which needs renovating, is accessible from the outside.
