Medieval Village House with Guardian Cottage and Pool

Characterful stone house in a historic medieval village, comprising a 220m2 main residence, independent 50m2 guardian cottage, private courtyard pool and garage. With four bedrooms in total, period features, garden and elevated views over vineyards and the Garonne valley, the property is just 35 minutes from Bordeaux.

Situated in the heart of a remarkably well-preserved medieval village in the Entre-Deux-Mers, this property combines historic surroundings with an unusually convenient village lifestyle. The village stands on a cliff overlooking the Garonne, with elevated views across the surrounding vineyards and river valley.

Once an important medieval commercial centre, particularly for the wine trade, the village is now a lively and genuinely inhabited community. Local festivals, live music and traditional markets contribute to its year-round atmosphere, while everyday amenities are within walking distance. These include a bakery, butcher, tabac, grocery shop and several restaurants and bars, many with terraces overlooking the historic square.

The village has its own railway station, providing access to Bordeaux in approximately 35 minutes, while the city is also readily accessible by road. The surrounding Entre-Deux-Mers wine country, the vineyards of Sauternes and the banks of the Garonne are all within easy reach.

Main Residence
The principal house provides approximately 220m2 of accommodation arranged over three levels, combining original stone features and architectural details with modern comforts.

On the ground floor, a bright living area and kitchen form the heart of the house, with the kitchen extending towards a glazed veranda. This provides direct access to the walled garden and allows the living spaces to benefit from views over the private outdoor area.

An original stone staircase leads to a mezzanine level, where a secondary sitting room/library provides an additional space for relaxation or working. This level also gives access to the rear entrance, laundry room and parking area.

A second staircase leads to a spacious bedroom accompanied by two bathrooms, while a third staircase provides access to two further bedrooms. The arrangement gives the house a particularly interesting sense of space, with several independent circulation routes and areas that can be used according to the needs of the household.

Guardian Cottage
The separate 50m2 guardian cottage is completely independent from the main residence, with its own entrance and private terrace. The one-bedroom accommodation is well suited to visiting family or friends, a guardian or caretaker, or potentially as a rental property.

Garden, Pool and Garage
The property includes a private walled garden with a courtyard swimming pool, providing a secluded outdoor area in the centre of the village. A garage, capable of accommodating one or two cars, is an increasingly valuable feature for a property in such a historic village setting and provides useful additional storage.

Features
The property benefits from a dual heating system combining gas central heating with an energy-efficient Frisquet heat pump. Both the main house and cottage have double glazing, while high-speed fibre internet and mains drainage are also connected.

Summary
This is an unusual opportunity to acquire a substantial historic village property with independent accommodation, outdoor space and private parking, while remaining closely connected to everyday French village life. The combination of a spacious main residence, guardian cottage, pool, garage and exceptional position overlooking the Garonne valley makes it particularly well suited as a permanent home, second residence or property with rental potential.
