Description

Set in peaceful countryside close to the historic towns of Duras and Monségur, this remarkable residence stands on the foundations of an ancient medieval castle and retains fascinating reminders of its defensive past, including its impressive moat.



Beyond the entrance gates, the property is surrounded by almost 1.2 hectares of mature grounds, with magnificent established trees creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting.



Offering approximately 335 m² of accommodation, the property combines impressive proportions with authentic period character. The substantial 32 m² solid-wood kitchen features a beautiful period fireplace, while the magnificent 90 m² reception room is a real highlight, with soaring ceilings, exposed timbers, a substantial stone fireplace and traditional terracotta flooring.



A second, more intimate sitting room retains an original bread oven and fireplace. The ground floor also includes a generous 30 m² bedroom, an office, shower room, separate WC and useful storage.



Upstairs, a striking 29.5 m² mezzanine overlooks the principal living space. There are four further bedrooms and a bathroom with WC, with period features throughout including exposed stonework, beams, fireplaces and decorative oak panelling. A 26 m² attic offers additional potential, subject to any necessary permissions.



Outside, the swimming pool is surrounded by terraces, including two covered areas ideal for summer dining and entertaining, one supported by substantial stone pillars. An ancient well provides another reminder of the property's long history.



Modern comforts include double glazing, wood-burning stoves, internet connection, an electric entrance gate and outdoor lighting.



A rare and captivating historic property combining the atmosphere and architectural character of a medieval residence with generous living space, beautiful mature grounds and a swimming pool.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
