Farmhouse and gites near Bordeaux for sale

‘Le Pas des Aigles’ is a pretty stone house that was originally built for a winemaker. Today it comprises 2 gites and separate owners quarters, set in 1.2 hectares of secluded gardens with a fenced pool.

The local village is small but with many amenities, including a school, baker, butcher and grocer. The nearest supermarket and chemist are a few minutes drive.

The farmhouse is situated on the edge of a peaceful village between on the edge of the forest, 50km north of Bordeaux, and an hour’s drive from Royan, Cognac, St Emilion, Angouleme and Arcachon.

Bordeaux is easily accessed by air from Gatwick, Luton, Southampton, Norwich, Bristol, Manchester, Heathrow and East Midlands, by train via Eurostar/TGV, and we are 10 minutes from the A10 Paris/Bordeaux motorway.

The gites have been run as a successful business for the past 15 years, with continous active marketing and a much praised comprehensive website.

There is scope for further renovation; an old cottage which currently houses the gardening equipment could make an ideal studio apartment or granny flat (60m2), there is a large stone barn without a roof, and a further 50m2 in the main house set over 2 floors that is ripe for development.
