Breathtaking views

We came across this lovely plot for sale totalling 18 hectares, with fantastic views over a valley of vineyards. It is 50 kilometres from the wine city of Bordeaux, in the foothills of the Saint-Émilion hills and on the same clay-limestone plateau where those beautiful, mineral wines come from. A unique geographical location about which we will tell you more later. - TEXT + IMAGE EDITORS

Or use it as pasture for the horses that roam here! There are also 2 hectares of forest and a large pond - of 3,500 square metres. So here you are surrounded by nature in all its beauty.
