Character Stone Mill with 3-Star Gîte, B&B, Pool and Workshop Near Bordeaux, Saint Emilion and Blaye

Property Description

Summary
Character stone property near Bordeaux, centred around a former mill and offering approximately 275 sqm of living space on 2,632 sqm of private, landscaped grounds.

The property combines a spacious family home with an independent 3-star gîte, a separate B&B guest room, swimming pool, garage and workshop. The accommodation has its own access, allowing the owners’ private living space to remain separate from the tourism activity.

The gîte and guest accommodation have been operated for several years, generating an average gross annual turnover of around €20,000 over the last three complete years, with further potential for development.

A distinctive property with exposed stone, generous volumes and a strong sense of character, ideally located between Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and Blaye. Suitable as a main family residence with rental income, or for buyers looking to develop an established hospitality business.

Location
Located in Saint-André-de-Cubzac, in the Gironde, the property enjoys a strategic position between Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion and Blaye.

The area offers easy access to Bordeaux and its wider metropolitan area, while remaining close to the vineyards, historic villages and tourist attractions of the Right Bank. Saint-Émilion, Blaye and the Gironde Estuary are all within easy reach, making the location particularly attractive for a gîte and B&B business.

Saint-André-de-Cubzac provides everyday shops, services and amenities, while the surrounding countryside offers a quieter, more residential setting.

This combination of accessibility, local services and proximity to some of the best-known destinations in the Bordeaux region makes the property equally suitable for permanent family living and tourism activity.

Access
The property is easily accessible by road, rail and air.

Saint-André-de-Cubzac has direct access to the A10 motorway towards Bordeaux and Paris, with Bordeaux approximately 25–30 minutes away by car depending on traffic.

The town has its own railway station with direct TER services to Bordeaux Saint-Jean. Journey times are typically around 18–25 minutes, making Bordeaux easily accessible without a car.

Bordeaux-Mérignac International Airport is approximately 34 km away and can be reached by car in around 30 minutes.

The property is therefore well suited both to permanent living and to a tourism business welcoming guests arriving from Bordeaux, elsewhere in France or from abroad.

Interior
The interior combines the character of an old stone property with generous family living spaces and independent guest accommodation.

The main house is arranged around the former mill, which forms the most distinctive part of the property. One of the principal reception rooms occupies the volume of the mill itself, with exposed stone walls, visible beams, impressive ceiling height and a mezzanine overlooking the living area. A fireplace adds to the warm and traditional atmosphere.

The house also includes a fitted kitchen, several reception and family living spaces, six bedrooms across the property, and a combination of bathroom and shower-room facilities.

The independent gîte, measuring approximately 60 sqm, is classified 3 stars and has its own entrance. It provides a comfortable living area, kitchen, bedrooms and shower-room facilities, allowing guests to stay entirely separately from the owners.

A separate B&B guest room, also with independent access and its own facilities, provides additional accommodation without affecting the privacy of the main house.

An independent workshop completes the interior spaces and could continue to be used as an artist’s or craftsman’s studio, or adapted for a home office, consulting room or other professional activity.

Overall, the layout works particularly well for buyers wishing to combine a character family home with established holiday accommodation while maintaining a clear separation between private and guest areas.

Exterior
The property sits within approximately 2,632 sqm of private, landscaped grounds, offering several distinct outdoor areas for both family life and guest accommodation.

The swimming pool forms one of the main features of the garden, with the stone buildings and the distinctive silhouette of the former mill creating a particularly attractive setting.

A large terrace and covered outdoor area provide space for dining and entertaining, complemented by an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area. The garden also includes a pétanque area and several quieter corners for relaxing.

The layout of the grounds allows the owners and guests to enjoy the property independently, helping to preserve privacy while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for the tourism activity.

A garage and several private parking spaces are available within the property.

The combination of mature planting, stone architecture, swimming pool and generous outdoor living areas gives the property a strong sense of character and makes it particularly well suited to both permanent family living and holiday accommodation.

Additional Details
A particularly useful additional feature of the property is the independent workshop, offering a flexible space that could suit a wide range of uses.

It can remain a workshop for an artist, craftsman or creative activity, but could equally be adapted as a home office, consulting room, studio or professional workspace. Its separation from the main living areas makes it especially suitable for buyers wishing to combine home and professional life without sacrificing privacy.

The property also benefits from fibre internet, gas central heating with a condensing boiler, double glazing and a fireplace.

Mains electricity, mains water and mains gas are connected. Drainage is provided by an individual micro-station system.

The overall layout offers considerable flexibility, whether the property is used primarily as a family home, for hospitality, for professional activity, or as a combination of all three.

Revenue Generation
The property currently generates income through an established tourism activity combining an independent 3-star gîte and a separate B&B guest room.

Both guest accommodations have their own independent access, allowing the owners to maintain a clear separation between private family life and the rental activity.

The tourism business has been operated for several years and generates an average gross annual turnover of approximately €20,000 over the last three complete years.

The activity is currently run as a complementary source of income rather than as a full-time business, leaving further potential for buyers wishing to increase occupancy, extend the rental season or develop the hospitality offer.

The existing layout is particularly well suited to this type of activity, with independent guest accommodation, swimming pool, outdoor areas and private parking.

This provides an opportunity to acquire not only a character family home, but also an established and immediately usable income-generating activity.
