You might be tempted to interrupt lazy hours under the wonderful vast covered terrace with a canoeing trip on the river just a few metres away. But then you'll probably prefer to stay put and enjoy the lush flowery garden tasting some of the best wines in the world - all local of course. |

Location |
| This "Fronsadais" farmhouse with its distinctive gables dating from 1780 is situated in a peaceful riverside residential area on the outskirts of Coutras (3km). Coutras has all facilities (including three supermarkets) and a twice-weekly market (Wednesday and Saturday). It also offers a public tennis court, riding stables, bike hire and river boat trips. The town of Libourne (20km) has a wide selection of shops and a good Sunday morning market. The medieval city of St-Emilion (20km) has a large variety of restaurants offering wine-tasting opportunities and châteaux tours. There are two 18 hole golf courses at Cameyrac and Beychac-et-Caillau (both 40km) and there is a leisure lake at St-Christophe-le-Double (12km). The sandy beaches of Arcachon and Lacanau are about one and a half hours' drive away. |

Exterior |
The property stands in spacious walled grounds, an idyllic setting with pleasant views of the river l'Isle. At the rear of the property is the swimming pool surrounded by timber decking edged by a low wall on two sides, one with a drop of about 1.25 metres. From the pool area, a slope leads down to lawns that edge the bank of the river where fishing is possible. A fence stops access to both the pool and the river edge. Two two-person canoes (life jackets provided) are available for exploring the river's course.
One of the main features of this property is the exceptional covered terrace which runs the full length of the house, within which there is a dining area, a barbecue and table tennis. Between the pool and the terrace there is a gravelled area (ideal for playing boules) which is shared by large "Trees of Heaven" and overlooks the swimming pool, garden and the river.
The owners occupy a small house adjoining the main building, well separated by tall bushes. Because of the proximity of the river, careful supervision of small children is necessary. |

Interior |
| The interior, which has been recently modernised, is attractive and comfortable. The large kitchen is well equipped and has a large dining area; there is a separate dining room with seating for twelve persons. A shower room with a wc and a cloakroom are also on the ground floor. On the first floor are six bedrooms, two doubles and two twins each with an suite bathroom with a wc. Two of these bedrooms have a balcony overlooking the terrace, and the other two bedrooms (twins) share a bathroom. |
