Large 4 bedroom detached house with river views and private garden. Pool. Fully renovated. Close to village.
This house is in an amazing location – looking out over the river Garonne, with constantly changing views at different times of the day and seasons of the year.
It is an absolute haven for peace and quiet as well as being a bird watcher’s paradise. It is also close to the Entre Deux Mers Canal – perfect for cycling, walking and running. This breath-taking property with stunning views is nestled on the outskirts of a small, lively village with all amenities. The village overlooks the valley of the Garonne and the Canal. The property is of exceptional quality.
This house would make an ideal permanent or holiday home: with 4 double bedrooms and lots of entertaining space, it is a very bright and airy home.
This house has amazing views all around. It is just 300 metres from the centre of a beautiful and unspoilt village. Although the house is situated within walking distance from the village, it is far enough away to allow for the peace that the local wildlife adores. There is a wide range of wildlife that frequents the immediate area around the property, including deer, red squirrels, coypu as well as numerous birds such as woodpeckers, black kites, buzzards, kestrels, jays, kingfishers, hoopoe and amazingly bright yellow golden orioles.
This house is extremely versatile: it would make a perfect lock and leave holiday home with 4 double bedrooms, each pair at opposite ends of the house with a shared bathroom, and 2 fabulous socialising spaces on each floor. Alternatively, it would be suitable for a permanent family home, with lots of space, outdoor dining area and a manageable garden.
The outsdoors and pool area is perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, entertaining and provides you and your guests with spectacular views across the river. There is an island just offshore that provides a home for numerous species of egret, grey and purple herons, cormorants, gulls, sandpipers and many other birds. The view is constantly changing with variations in light and the different seasons. The Garonne River is directly on the migration route of many birds including osprey which are often seen as they migrate south in July and August.
In front of the house, just 40 metres away, is the Entre Deux Mers canal. The canal lock and the wharf the other side are close enough to enable you to moor your boat, and be able to walk to it! The canal is bordered by a walk/cycleway, the 'Voie Verte', that is excellent for running, cycling, walking or just watching the world slowly wander by.
The village of Mas d'Agenais has a beautiful Roman church, dating back to 292 AD, which houses a Rembrandt original. There is also a bakery, a couple of bars and restaurants and an excellent shop that sells everything almost around the clock. There is as a covered marketplace at the centre of the village.
Close by is the spa-town of Casteljaloux, which has all the necessary amenities, such as shops, schools (primary & college), sports facilities, cinema & restaurants. Also close by are Marmande and Tonneins. In addition to the International Airports of Bordeaux (98km) & Bergerac (81km) access to the A62 autoroute at Marmande is just 15km away, and the railway station SNCF at Marmande. The beautiful beaches of Archachon, Mimizan Plage, and the surfing beach at Biscarosse are all approximately 150km. This area is very popular with tourists. There are a number of locations where boats and kayaks can be hired. Locally, there are many cycling and hiking trails, with 46 well-known walks. The house comes as a complete ‘turnkey’ housing solution with all quality furniture, fixtures and fittings, televisions, CD and video players (with the exception of a few personal items) included in the asking price.
Entering into a huge ground floor living room from the riverside façade, there is a shower room to the right, and a door to the garage and utility room. To the left is a snug and the kitchen beyond.
In the corner of the living room is an oak staircase which opens onto a second large living room. The bedroom corridor to the left has 2 double bedrooms with a shared bathroom, as does the corridor to the right
Leaving the kitchen through the side door, there is a large decked sun terrace which buts up to the swimming pool and has a covered veranda for al fresco eating. The terrace leads to a path that passes around the front of the house. At a lower level, is a garden laid to lawn, with an enclosed orchard with cherry, walnut, elderberry and fig trees to the right.
The house has been fully renovated, with the work finishing in 2018, and as a result this is an extremely spacious and airy property.
