‘Le
Bonheur’
(Happiness) is a beautifully restored 18th Century
farmhouse set perfectly in an acre of tranquil private grounds
in sunny South-West France.
It is in an
idyllic
position within the undulating Bordeaux countryside, with vineyards all
around and down a short lane that only services three properties, so is
tranquil, secluded
and private
without
being remote. From the breakfast terrace, it has beautiful views across the
10x5m private pool and a small vale to the local
Church and vineyards on
one side, and across the Duras vineyards on the other. The area is one
of
the most lovely in France, with lots to do and
see.
Le Bonheur has been
carefully and
tastefully
restored, with original oak beams &
restored
stone walls throughout. The idyllic 10x5m pool is surrounded by a large
terrace with elaborate lighting and
has
a
purpose built BBQ area at the shallow end of the pool. Le Bonheur sleeps
8-10 (plus cot) in its four twin/king bedrooms (also has a separate bedroom
area upstairs with another 3 twin beds). In addition to the the new Master
en-suite with walk-in shower and patio doors to the pool, it also has two
lovely
bathrooms and a modern stunning 6x9m kitchen with the latest appliances, all
set around a central island. Cot, highchair and linen are provided for your
use.
The
Originality
of the properties’ 18th Century heritage has been combined tastefully
with the very latest in modern
amenities and technology. It is
fully equipped with a dishwasher, large American Style fridge/freezer
with water/ice dispenser,
microwave, washing machine, 55-inch LED full HDTV,
HD
FreeSat
TV, Blu-ray/DVD, CD players, Hi-Fi, full-size BBQ, high quality outdoor Table
Tennis. The
local
town for your baguette and croissant needs is Taillecavat, which is a short
walk away. The pretty Bastide towns of Duras, Monségur, & Eymet, with their vibrant weekly markets, are only a few minutes by car
- If you can drag
yourself away from the lovely private pool with its fabulous panoramic views
over the local
countryside, then there is so much to do. The areas boasts
excellent
restaurants, vineyards, wine-tasting, shops, golf, tennis, riding, fishing
and enchanting local French
markets. St Emilion is around 40 mins, with
Bordeaux & its 115 kms of beaches around an hour.
