Renovated 18th Century Farmhouse in a Quiet Area in the Heart of Vineyards, Close to Shops on a Large Plot with a Well.

Property Description

Summary
The owners are too old to continue living in this small renovated farmhouse that they have owned since 1995. The house was almost entirely renovated in 2023: high-performance ecological insulation in winter and summer (the upstairs rooms remain cool in the middle of summer), efficient and economical heat pump. Possibility of installing a pellet or wood stove in the living room; large functional 17th century hearth in the dining room; new fully equipped kitchen. Ten-year warranty until 2033 on all renovated parts: roof, partitions, bathroom, all electricity with a three-phase Linky meter. It is a charming, slightly offbeat residence, on different levels but adaptable to disabled people for the ground floor. The surrounding land is planted with fruit trees. There is a small pond below the land and an old well still in use (watering pump). No vis-à-vis or immediate neighbors... Trees on one side and vines on the other; The small nearby road has very little traffic. You will be a five-minute drive from the small town next door and 15 minutes from a large shopping center; the banks of the Dordogne are 10 minutes away. Many walks and bike rides are possible. Saint-Émilion is a quarter of an hour away. A non-adjoining 2-hectare meadow with a pond permanently fed by a stream is accessible on foot (or on horseback!) in 5 minutes via an easement.
