Aquitaine, Gironde, Gauriac, France

A48057GUH33 - In Gauriac, a village in Haute-Gironde nestled on the right bank of the estuary, between Bourg-sur-Gironde (7 km) and the UNESCO-listed citadel of Blaye (9 km), this 1890 dressed-stone house stands out for its excellent general condition and quiet, private setting with no overlooking neighbours. The area, crossed by the famous Corniche road, offers remarkable views over the estuary, its islands and the Médoc, and is already home to several well-regarded tourist gîtes — favourable ground for a new hospitality project.

Ground floor
The entrance opens onto a fitted kitchen, extended by a dining room with its original Gironde floor tiles. A bedroom, also laid with the original tiles, completes this level. There is also a shower room, a WC with mechanical ventilation, a utility room and a hallway serving all the rooms. A fine solid-oak staircase, built into the hallway, leads upstairs. At the rear of the house, a 45 sqm open chai extends the living room — a lovely covered outdoor space, ideal for summer meals or a sheltered garden lounge.

First floor
The first floor has two bedrooms. Bedroom 2 benefits from a double-glazed French window fitted in 2021 and a fine 3.11 m ceiling height. Bedroom 3 completes this level, accompanied by a dressing room and a private bathroom (double basin, bathtub, bidet — in need of a refresh) with a separate WC.

The independent chai: gîte potential
Set apart from the house, with its own internal and external access, this old stone building comprises two rooms (32.74 sqm and 27.47 sqm) and a 28.68 sqm mezzanine, and already has its own fireplace. This generous, independent set of spaces represents a rare opportunity to create a fully self-contained gîte — a particularly relevant prospect given that the Gauriac area, on the touristic Corniche road, already attracts holidaymakers seeking characterful rentals along the estuary. This potential remains subject to the applicable planning authorisations, to be verified by the buyer.

Outbuildings and grounds
The 881 sqm plot, south-west facing, is fully enclosed and offers three outdoor parking spaces. The fully tiled terrace makes the most of the quiet surroundings. A well completes the grounds. The property is connected to mains drainage.

Fittings and comfort
Individual forced-air heating is complemented by reversible air conditioning. Hot water is provided by an electric cylinder. Windows are double-glazed, with wooden shutters. The house benefits from fibre-optic broadband and electrics in very good condition.

Works to be expected
The roof has recently been worked on: a new ridge and reworked covering. The upstairs bathroom would benefit from refreshing. No other major works have been identified.

In summary
A characterful 1890 dressed-stone house in excellent general condition, offering 135 sqm of living space, an open chai extending the living room, and an independent chai with a fireplace and rare gîte potential in this sought-after stretch of the Corniche road. A property to live in as a main or second home, with genuine potential for tourism development.
