This charming four-bedroom colombage farmhouse is practically a blueprint for what most people looking to move to rural southwest France are looking for. It is situated in 6 ha of delightful countryside, secluded but not isolated, surrounded by woodlands, fields and vineyards. There are no close neighbours and yet it is only five minutes to the local shops. It comes complete with an immaculate three bedroom gite, a swimming pool, numerous outbuildings and is ready for you to move into and start your idyllic new pastoral existence. You don't have to be too rural however - the property does come with a wonderfully private sundeck and a hot tub! The main house has a habitable surface area of approximately 140m2, but this could quickly be very nearly doubled if you converted the large attic, and the gite has a habitable surface area of approximately 120m2. Although you can move in immediately, there are still plenty of renovation possibilities to keep new owners occupied. The house is set around a lovely courtyard off of which are two rooms which could be converted into additional bedrooms. There is a fantastic old armagnac chai, very nearly the size of a tennis court, a cute little colombage bread oven which is currently being converted into a stylish one-bedroom studio with ensuite bathroom, not to mention a large poulailler and porcherie (chicken coop/pigsty). All this rural perfection can be found just a few minutes away from the market town of Estang.
