About this place
This property emphasises its prime location, set in a serene hamlet with stunning vineyard views, yet it is conveniently only 5 km from the Lamothe-Montravel train station with direct access to Bordeaux, just a 45-minute journey away. Bergerac airport is 40 minutes by car, making travel easy for both residents and visitors.
The house, built approximately a century ago and retaining much of its original charm, offers good general condition and a practical layout, predominantly on the ground floor. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, which integrates a breakfast/living area of 34 m² and features an inviting open fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. Large French doors lead out to the covered terrace, where you can enjoy views of the swimming pool.
Accommodations include a spacious sitting/dining room of 37 m², a cosy 10 m² room complete with a wood stove, a utility/laundry room of 10 m², and a downstairs bedroom of 38 m², accompanied by an adjacent shower room and WC (6 m²). Upstairs, a mezzanine of 12 m² leads to two additional generous bedrooms (48 m² and 27 m²), which share a shower room and WC (6 m²), all connected through separate staircases that enhance the uniqueness of the layout.
The farmhouse is less than a five-minute drive from essential services like a supermarket, medical centre, veterinary clinic, and pharmacy. Every Sunday, the vibrant market in Lamothe-Montravel offers local produce, while the renowned wine region of Saint-Émilion, 20 km away, is perfect for exploring quaint streets and enjoying exceptional wine tastings.
