Hilltop Country House with Numerous Outbuildings, Duras, Lot-Et-Garonne

Description

This immaculate, hilltop country house with 2 gîtes and numerous outbuildings enjoys uninterrupted views of the Château of Duras. In all, there are 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 4 reception rooms and the property occupies a plot of just under 6 acres, including a large pool and a pétanque court.

Dating back, in part, to 1706 this sublime stone property includes two fully-functioning gites. It is perched on a ridge with fantastic views across the Dropt Valley towards Duras. The main house has two large bedrooms, a downstairs winter sitting room, a huge bathroom with bath and shower, a large country kitchen and pantry leading out to an extensive and elegant part-covered roof terrace overlooking the valley with steps down to a large wine-cellar and an immense summer sitting room. 

The larger gîte has a sizeable sitting room with many original features on the ground floor and also a bedroom. Upstairs there is a kitchen, a bathroom and two further bedrooms. It has a private garden and parking space. The smaller gite has a kitchen/living room with a wall-mounted sound system, a bathroom and a large bedroom. This gite also has dedicated parking. 

Outside is a beautiful swimming pool which is enclosed and alarmed, a barbecue area suitable for summer events, and a petanque court - all situated to take advantage of the views. The grounds extend to 23,550m² (5.82 acres) and there are 2 wells and a large garden shed. There is also a barn used for garden storage with an attached workshop, and another larger barn with stables and a mezzanine floor. 

The property is a short drive from the bustling bastide towns of Duras, Monségur, Eymet and Sainte Foy la Grande. It is 40 minutes from Bergerac Airport and 75 minutes from Bordeaux.
