Everything you could wish for is embodied in this exceptionally stunning 18th Century four-bedroom stone farmhouse with its beautiful surroundings, independent cottage, orangery and superb pool. It stands in a quiet rural setting of 3.5 acres not far from the Garonne river, yet it has good access to some busy French towns making it ideal as a family home or a holiday investment.
The house with its generous living space and the one bedroom cottage is approached along a tree-lined avenue. A large terrace at its rear overlooks a beautiful mature garden, with lake, swimming pool, summerhouse, greenhouse and an orangery.
The fine old farmhouse has some typically characteristic features such as exposed beams and timber floors, but everywhere has been improved and maintained to a very high standards.
With such an impressive area of land and a large stable facility the property has lots of potential especially for horse lovers who would also reap the benefit of endless country rides through woods and across meadows.
It is situated about 8km from the pretty village of Cocumont which has all the essential local facilities. All major services, however, including shops and excellent restaurants can be found in the larger town of Marmande, just 20 minutes drive away. The beautiful city of Bordeaux, with its international airport is only an hour away by car, and Arcachon, on the Atlantic coast, with its wonderful beaches can be reached within 90 minutes.
