Aquitaine, Gironde, Arsac, France

The chartreuse features elegant blond stone facades enhanced with immaculate grey wooden shutters. A vegetable garden sits to one side of the house, a lawn with vines to the other whilst a swimming pool and courtyard with luxuriant vegetation surround the rear of the property. The classic rectangular chartreuse layout offers ground floor living including 2 sizeable bedrooms and 3 adjoining reception rooms with a working fireplace. A newly refurbished kitchen includes a bright breakfast area looking onto the courtyard. 3 additional bedrooms make up the upper floor.

The 3 bedroom gîte is a separate building to the chartreuse and has potential for year long rental. From spring to autumn, rental is primarily to tourists looking for the proximity to Bordeaux, the Médoc wine Chateaux as well as Atlantic beaches. During the winter, rental demand is high from companies looking to house their employees close to Bordeaux. Current rental revenue is available on request. The gîte has a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, 2 shower rooms each with wc, 1 independent ground floor bedroom and 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor. The centre piece of a double glazed veranda is a stone fireplace, perfect for chilly evenings.
