Médoc Atlantique - Character Longhouse - 4.5 Hectares

Some places change the way you live. This is one of them.

Just 6 km from the ocean beaches of Montalivet and Soulac-sur-Mer, this 1870 stone longhouse extends across nearly five hectares in one continuous plot: century-old oak woodland, open meadows, landscaped orchard and abundant wildlife. A private and preserved estate, designed to match the scale of your ambitions.

The property comprises three independent accommodations offering approximately 220 sqm of living space, 6 bedrooms and one dormitory, 6 bathrooms and up to 22 sleeping arrangements. The main house, covered summer kitchen, masonry-built swimming pool and immense two-storey barn create a generous setting designed for entertaining on a large scale: family, friends, equestrian enthusiasts and guests alike.

The meadows are currently maintained by a neighbouring farmer, meaning virtually no upkeep is required.

The renovation has been carried out with great care and attention to detail. New roofing, stonework, wood, lime-rendered walls and pine flooring preserve the soul of the property while offering modern comfort throughout. Nothing needs to be done.

What you create here is entirely up to you: a family estate where several generations can live together without compromising privacy, an intimate reception venue nestled among the pine trees, a lifestyle retreat for surf and cycling enthusiasts, an equestrian property, a guesthouse business, or simply - finally - space for yourself.

And space is precisely what makes this property so rare. In just a few years, owning five hectares less than ten minutes from the Atlantic Ocean will become almost impossible to find. Should the woodland or meadows ever become more than you require, it is worth noting that this type of wooded or agricultural land can easily be resold separately and remains highly sought-after in the area.
