This singular home, built in 1970 by an antiquaire from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, is more than just a residence - it’s a piece of living history. Originally, the property consisted only of a modest outbuilding where vineyard workers would gather for lunch. Today, it reveals a rare charm: antique woodwork, an 18th-century door, hand-crafted Gironde tiles, and a beautiful period fireplace.
Every detail - from Italian vases to the custom kitchen by Cuisine Française - reflects a refined eye and deep respect for heritage. Set at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway that winds through a lush 6000 m² park, this home offers a sense of arrival as timeless as the house itself. A place where authenticity and elegance come together in perfect harmony.
Some places carry a presence the moment you arrive - a quiet sense that time has shaped them with care. This is one of those places. Before we speak of rooms or features, we invite you to step into its story - a story rooted in craftsmanship, heritage, and the subtle beauty of things made to last.

A Taste of Bordeaux Living
Imagine waking up in the heart of wine country, surrounded by sunlit vineyards and the gentle hum of nature. This home sits within the Domaine de Mayat, where third-generation winemaker Francis Lagarde planted his roots in 1979 and built his winery a decade later. His 45-hectare vineyard stretches across the right bank of the Dordogne, producing Bordeaux and Southwest appellation wines that embody the soul of the region

Buying your wine next door, straight from the vineyards, has its perks. But when it’s time to entertain, bread, cheese, and charcuterie are just as essential.

Whether shopping in Bordeaux or sightseeing in Sarlat, the winding vineyard roads will get you there - smoothly and beautifully.

A few words from the current owner
A Place to Cherish
“What I love most about this home is the quiet - it’s peaceful, yet close to everything. The open rooms with high ceiling give a wonderful sense of space, and there’s always room for friends - we’ve hosted up to 35 around the table in the main room. But my favorite memories are watching the grandchildren learn to swim in the pool, their laughter echoing through the garden. It’s a place where life unfolds gently, and joy finds you in the simplest moments.”
