Situated on a peaceful country lane in a hamlet with a handful of other properties, yet only 3 minute's drive from the beautiful hilltop bastide of Duras with its schools, commerce, vineyards and breath-taking views, this property really does benefit from the best of both Worlds.

This is a quintessentially French farmhouse that has undergone a complete renovation, yet retains many original features and oozes charm from every stone. It has very large living spaces, notably the kitchen-diner, living room and Master bedroom so would make a wonderful family home or a fantastic option for extended family or could even be run as a B&B. There is already an excellent 1-bedroom gite in the adjoining barn to the rear of the property with tenants in situ generating annual income of 6,600€. There is the possibility to create a second bedroom in the gite and also to convert the enormous barn into further gites, subject to local planning consent.

The property is located in a wine-lover's paradise, in the heart of the Cote de Duras wine region. These wines are very similar to their neighbouring and much-renowned Bordeaux wines, but are much better value!

In summary, an ideal and sought-after location for this stunning property, whether for a holiday home, a permanent home or indeed an income-generating holiday let.
Early viewing is essential.
