A spectacular living space
The centerpiece of the house is its superb 59 m² living room, bathed in light thanks to its large windows overlooking the garden.
Its cathedral ceiling, reaching a height of approximately 5.50 m, creates a truly exceptional sense of volume and space. Particular attention has been paid to lighting to highlight the volumes and architecture.

Location
Located somewhere near the village of St Estephe, amidst the vineyards and châteaux of the Médoc. Two towns with supermarkets are nearby. A doctor's office is a 10-minute drive away; the two towns are Pauillac and Lesparre-Médoc. Buses run on a fixed schedule for getting around.

Access
Located an hour from Bordeaux, I chose this area when I bought the land before building simply because I wanted a quiet village, free from disturbances and nuisances. You are 1 hour and 15 minutes from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport and 10 minutes from Pauillac with its train station and SNCF rail access, with traffic-free access to Bordeaux via the dual carriageway that opened two years ago.

Interior
The house is like new.

Exterior
Everything is in the description, but the garden has really taken shape. Thanks to the automatic watering system fed by a drilled well and the robotic lawnmower, which saves me from what I consider unnecessary work. All the plants in the back garden are evergreens. I appreciate having greenery around me in winter. The terrace is raised on pedestals. It's sheltered by the roof extension and, of course, well-lit.

Additional Details
Additional information: Thermal insulation compliant with RT 2012 standards, enhanced sound insulation, electricity consumption €130 per month (I heat to 23°C in winter and cool to 25°C in summer; I like comfort). Property tax €636 per year. And of course, an A-rated energy performance certificate (DPE) and an A-rated energy efficiency rating.
