Duras, Aquitaine 47120

Ideally located close to the historic hilltop town of Duras, renowned for its magnificent château and vibrant selection of shops, bars, and restaurants, this charming property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the southwest French countryside. Set within 9028m² of picturesque grounds, theses two properties provide exceptional flexibility, whether as one substantial family residence or as a main house with independent guest accommodation. Combining character with modern comfort, the property benefits from both gas central heating and a heat pump system providing hot air conditioning, discreetly distributed throughout both houses via an integrated vent system, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. The main house is full of charm and character, offering a welcoming kitchen and a double aspect, vaulted sitting/dining room centred around an impressive feature open fireplace, creating a warm and atmospheric heart to the home. A ground-floor double bedroom and a spacious full bathroom suite complete this level. Upstairs, a striking mezzanine overlooks the principal living space and has been thoughtfully used by the current owners as a versatile relaxation and workspace. This floor also offers two further double bedrooms and a family shower room, perfectly suited to family life or hosting guests in comfort. The attached second property offers charming and flexible accommodation, ideal for guest use, extended family, or potential rental income. Full of character, it comprises a welcoming kitchen with an original fireplace, a comfortable sitting room, three double bedrooms one currently arranged as a home office and a family shower room. In addition, there is a further versatile space currently enjoyed by the owners as a covered outdoor dining and entertaining area, perfect for long summer lunches and evening apéritifs. An attached hangar further enhances the practicality of the property, offering excellent storage or potential for additional uses depending on requirements. In addition to the hangar, the property also benefits from an original stone wine chai, still housing its authentic wine barriques and rich in character and history. This atmospheric space offers excellent potential and, should the barriques be removed, could easily be transformed into additional workshop space, creative studios, entertaining areas, or further usable accommodation depending on individual requirements. This property represents exceptional value for money offering substantial living space, extensive grounds, and remarkable flexibility in a highly desirable location.
