A Visionary Home Like No Other
Designed in 1977 by the celebrated architect Legrix de la Salle, this remarkable single-storey home in Pompignac is far more than a house — it’s a statement. The striking combination of terracotta walling, exposed wood and a steel structure gives the property a timeless, mineral aesthetic that feels both bold and harmonious with its natural surroundings. At the heart of the home, a flower-filled patio acts as a natural light well, drawing the outside in and giving every room a sense of warmth and vitality. The generous 80m² living and dining room faces predominantly south, bathed in sunshine and anchored by a traditional fireplace with a sunken seating area — the perfect place to gather on cooler evenings. With five bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, a laundry room, and modern electric heating updated in 2020 and 2022, this is a home that balances character with comfort, awaiting a new owner to bring it gently into the present day.
Your Private Lake Is Ready to Be Reborn
For fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, the real headline here is the land. Spanning over seven hectares, the estate encompasses beautiful mature woodland, a natural spring, and — most excitingly — a one-hectare pond that has dried up and is simply waiting to be restored. Imagine stocking it with carp, pike or tench, creating your own private fishing retreat in the Gironde countryside. With the infrastructure of a pond already in place and a natural spring on site, bringing this water feature back to life is an entirely realistic project, and one that would transform this estate into something truly extraordinary. Whether you dream of early morning casts from the bank, lazy afternoons on the water, or simply the beauty of a lake view from your terrace, this property offers it all.
The Gironde — Where the Countryside Meets the Good Life
Pompignac sits in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Gironde, one of the most celebrated wine-producing areas in the world. Just a short drive from Bordeaux, this is a location that offers the very best of rural French life without isolation. The nearby town of Montussan provides everyday amenities, while the UNESCO-listed city of Bordeaux is just 20 minutes away, offering world-class restaurants, culture, and international transport connections. The area is known for its rolling vineyards, charming medieval villages and unhurried pace of life — making it an ideal base whether you’re looking for a permanent home, a family retreat, or an investment with exceptional potential.
Lifestyle Potential Beyond the Ordinary
Beyond the lake and the landscape, this property has genuine versatility. The 170m² outbuilding represents significant potential for conversion — whether as gîtes, a bed and breakfast, a workshop, or additional guest accommodation. The wine cellar adds a distinctly Bordelais touch, while the renovated swimming pool ensures summer entertaining is already taken care of. This is a property that invites you to dream big, and with a plot of this scale and quality in Gironde, the canvas is exceptional. Offered at €735,000, and described as a property with rare natural qualities on the market, this is an opportunity that discerning buyers will not want to overlook.
