A One-of-a-Kind Property in the Heart of Aquitaine
Tucked into over seven hectares of woodland and natural grounds near the village of Pompignac in the Gironde, this extraordinary architect-designed residence represents one of the most compelling lifestyle opportunities in southwest France. Designed in 1977 by architect Legrix de la Salle, the property blends terracotta walls with a wood-and-steel structure, creating a home that feels both rooted in nature and genuinely timeless. At its heart is a flower-filled patio that brings light and life into every corner of the 250m² single-storey home.
The House: Space, Character and Comfort
The interior layout is generous and practical in equal measure. A vast 80m² living and dining room faces south and features a traditional fireplace with pit — perfect for cool Bordeaux evenings. There are five bedrooms in total, including a master suite of 17m² complete with a dressing room, private bathroom and separate toilet. The remaining four bedrooms share a second bathroom. A separate kitchen, laundry room, wine cellar, and an attached garage complete the picture inside. Heating was updated with radiant electric systems installed between 2020 and 2022, and two air-conditioning units keep things comfortable in summer.
The Lake: A Rare Opportunity to Restore and Enjoy
For fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers, the headline feature here is undoubtedly the one-hectare pond. Currently dry, it presents a genuine and exciting project — restore it, stock it, and you have your own private fishing lake on French soil. A natural spring also runs through the grounds, further enhancing the ecological richness of the estate. Combined with the surrounding woodland, this is a property that offers genuine countryside immersion just minutes from urban amenities.
Location: The Best of Both Worlds Near Bordeaux
Pompignac sits just east of Bordeaux, close to Montussan and within easy reach of the city’s world-famous wine country, restaurants and transport links.
