Saint Emilion Property
€550,000
An elegant early-19th-century house with 340m² of living space, river views and more than 4,000m² of grounds near Saint-Émilion
An elegant early-19th-century house situated around ten minutes from Saint-Émilion, offering approximately 340m² of living space with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, set within 4,272m² of grounds.
The property retains much of its original character, including tall windows and doors, wooden floors, decorative mouldings, fireplaces and a particularly beautiful stone staircase with iron balustrade and worn timber handrail. Generous reception rooms and high ceilings give the house a sense of scale without making it feel overly formal.
A number of important works have already been carried out, with the roof, electrics and plumbing reportedly redone in 2016. The property is also connected to mains drainage, while fibre internet is available.
There are, however, still areas to investigate. The windows are single glazed, the fireplaces require restoration and the listing records the heating as “None”, despite a radiator being visible in the photographs, so the current heating provision would be something to clarify.
Outside, the setting is particularly appealing. The house sits on the edge of a village with views towards the river, two vehicle entrances, a small dovecote and substantial old stone ruins within the grounds. Those ruins add enormous atmosphere, although any future plans for bringing them back into use would need to be considered carefully from both a structural and planning perspective.
At €550,000, this is a property that combines period architecture, substantial space and a highly desirable location close to Saint-Émilion, while still leaving enough unanswered questions to make a proper viewing essential.
