Imagine mornings without a rush, lunches that stretch into the afternoon and warm evenings beside your own pool. Near Duras, this former wine estate offers the space to make country living your own.
With seven bedrooms, generous living areas and approximately 17.22 hectares of land, there is room for family, friends and new adventures. The vineyard connects the property to its wine-making past, while the terraces and pool invite you to spend more time outdoors.
This estate has previously welcomed guests through a chambre d’hôtes and hosted art workshops. Its former wine chai retains much of its equipment, offering a glimpse of another chapter in its story.
Perhaps you want a substantial home where everyone can gather. Perhaps you dream of welcoming visitors, running creative retreats or exploring the property's wine heritage. The possibilities are yours to investigate.
Some updating is needed, but for someone with imagination and a clear vision, this could be the beginning of something special: a life shaped around the countryside, good company and a little more freedom.

Duras sits among the rolling countryside and vineyards of Lot-et-Garonne, where village markets, local wine and leisurely lunches are part of the appeal of south-west France.
Its historic château overlooks a characterful town of traditional streets, independent shops and places to stop for a coffee or something to eat. Beyond the town, country lanes connect neighbouring villages, vineyards and the wider Gascon countryside.
Life here offers plenty of reasons to get outside, discover local producers and explore at your own pace. The agent reports that a nearby village with a grocery shop and popular restaurant is around three minutes away by car.
For anyone seeking a rural home or a base for welcoming visitors, Duras offers a balance of countryside surroundings and access to everyday amenities.

What would you do with a former wine estate, seven bedrooms and space to think differently?
The existing layout could suit a substantial private home for family and friends, or provide a starting point for investigating guest accommodation. The property's former chambre d’hôtes operation and history of art workshops also offer inspiration for a possible retreat or creative venture.
The vineyard and retained wine-making equipment connect the estate to its agricultural past. Buyers could investigate the existing vineyard management arrangement and whether wine production or another land-based activity might be viable.
These are possibilities, not guaranteed income streams. Commercial use, planning requirements, equipment condition and operating costs would need independent investigation. The attraction is the chance to shape the next chapter around your own interests and ambitions.

the accommodation

The approximately 297m² house offers seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms across two interconnected living areas.
The former guest accommodation includes five bedrooms with private bathroom or shower-room facilities, alongside a guest sitting and dining room, kitchenette and doors opening towards the pool terrace.
The owners' area includes an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, a separate living area, an office and two further en-suite bedrooms upstairs. Two staircases provide flexibility in how the spaces are used.
An atelier, utility and boiler room and additional WC facilities complete the layout, offering scope to adapt the accommodation to private living, visiting family or a potential h\ospitality project.

Outdoor space

The grounds extend to approximately 17.22 hectares, including a vineyard currently managed by a local vigneron. The pool and terraces provide space for outdoor meals, relaxing in the sunshine and gathering with friends.
The former wine chai retains much of its wine-making equipment, while a large agricultural hangar and other outbuildings offer extensive covered space. These could be useful for storage or other suitable activities, subject to their condition and any necessary permissions.
Photovoltaic panels contribute to the property's energy arrangements. The land and buildings give the estate much of its character, but parts of the grounds would benefit from attention. Buyers should assess the work required and establish the terms of the current vineyard arrangement before deciding how they want to use the estate.
