on the outskirts of bordeaux – an elegant bioclimatic architect-designed house in the heart of nature
just 12 kilometers from bordeaux, in one of the most sought-after villages of the entre-deux-mers region, this exceptional architect-designed residence offers a rare combination of contemporary elegance, environmental excellence and an outstanding quality of life.
set within a remarkably preserved natural environment, the property enjoys absolute privacy and a peaceful atmosphere while remaining within easy reach of bordeaux and all its amenities.
completed in 2015, the residence sits at the heart of a magnificent landscaped estate extending over more than 8,000 sqm. entirely enclosed and beautifully maintained, the grounds provide a sense of exclusivity and serenity rarely found so close to the city.
a backdrop of mature woodland and a gently flowing stream creates a picturesque setting of remarkable beauty, where nature takes centre stage throughout the seasons.
every aspect of the property has been designed to enhance its connection with the surrounding landscape, offering a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, space and light.
the house itself extends to approximately 165 sqm of beautifully appointed living space, conceived around generous volumes and an abundance of natural light.
the architectural design favours fluid circulation and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living areas, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming.
at the heart of the home lies an impressive reception area of approximately 65 sqm. bathed in sunlight through expansive bay windows, this spectacular space combines a refined living room and elegant dining area, centred around a contemporary wood-burning stove that serves as both a design feature and a source of warmth during cooler months.
the proportions are perfectly balanced, offering a setting equally suited to intimate family moments and stylish entertaining.
adjacent to the reception room, the separate porcelanosa kitchen reflects the same commitment to quality and design. functional yet elegant, it benefits from premium finishes and generous workspace, while an adjoining utility room provides additional practicality for everyday living.
the private accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort and privacy for both family and guests. the principal suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with its own shower room and private wc.
three further bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring both a bathtub and walk-in shower, as well as an additional separate wc.
one of the property′s most appealing features is the exceptional relationship between the interior and exterior spaces. large floor-to-ceiling glazing allows natural light to flood the rooms while framing uninterrupted views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
during the warmer months, the terraces become natural extensions of the living areas, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle perfectly suited to the region′s climate.
designed according to advanced bioclimatic principles, the residence combines aesthetic appeal with outstanding environmental performance. its ideal south-facing orientation maximises natural light and passive solar gain throughout the year, while excellent insulation ensures remarkable thermal efficiency.
an elegant sunshade system, pellet stove and solar-powered hot water installation further contribute to the property′s impressive sustainability credentials.
the result is a home that delivers exceptional comfort in every season while maintaining very low energy consumption, reflected in its excellent energy performance rating of class a.
the outdoor amenities are equally impressive. a vast terrace surrounds the magnificent 10 x 4 metre saltwater swimming pool, creating a stunning setting for relaxation and entertaining.
overlooking the valley and woodland beyond, this elevated position provides a constantly changing panorama of natural beauty and spectacular sunsets. whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting summer gatherings with family and friends, the outdoor spaces offer an exceptional quality of life.
the front section of the estate is equally charming, featuring a beautifully planted orchard garden with numerous fruit trees that reinforce the property′s authentic countryside character. the grounds provide ample parking for several vehicles in addition to a secure lock-up garage, ensuring practicality without compromising aesthetics.
adding further value, the property benefits from remaining building rights, offering future owners additional development potential should they wish to expand or further enhance the estate.
despite its peaceful and secluded setting, the residence remains conveniently connected to local amenities. village shops and essential services are only minutes away, while nearby transport links provide easy access to bordeaux, its international airport, high-speed rail connections and renowned cultural, gastronomic and wine destinations.
rarely does a property achieve such a harmonious balance between architectural quality, environmental consciousness and natural beauty.
combining contemporary luxury with a privileged rural setting, this outstanding residence presents a unique opportunity to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle at the gateway to bordeaux.
- what we love: the breathtaking views across the valley, the extraordinary quality of natural light throughout the home, the complete privacy of the setting and the seamless integration of sustainable design with refined contemporary living.
