Mauberts is a 4 bedroomed stone house set in the picturesque rolling countryside of the Sainte-Foy-la-Grande / Bordeaux wine region. Its décor reflects the owner's travels around the world. The house is set in a peaceful location to the side of a quiet country lane. The front of the house looks onto the swimming pool with open fields and woods beyond.
In the immediate surrounding area are acres of vines, trees, rolling fields and sunflowers. The closest boulangerie (bakery) is about 2km away. There is a vineyard very close by for wine tasting and purchases. It's conveniently located approximately 5 minutes by car from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande on the Dordogne river. Sainte-Foy-la-Grande is a lovely example of a bastide town and boasts an array of excellent restaurants catering for all tastes and pockets. It also hosts a superb very popular bustling and colourful Saturday morning market as well as all the usual amenities such as supermarkets, banks and so on.
Mauberts is within easy distance of both the heart of the Dordogne valley, with its breathtaking views and its numerous tourist attractions, and in the other direction, the beautiful city of Bordeaux. Just beyond Bordeaux is the fantastic Atlantic coastline, which boasts the highest sand dunes in Europe and some of the best beaches.

M Andre is an absolutely charming gentleman. He was kind and considerate and genuinely concerned for our welfare in a way that most owners are not. He clearly cared for the property beyond the normal. The pool was cleaned daily - and always very early in the morning as he did not wish to disturb anyone. Everything worked and was well maintained. He is by far the best owner we have had.

Propery in the middle of vineyards. A chateux is at the end of the road with good wine. The property is child friendly and located in a peaceful area.
