Boucheyrou (farmhouse)

Home description

Stay in your very own, completely private house in France, no owners living nearby, nothing shared and over 2.5 acres of grounds surrounded by sunflowers and open fields, plus a beautiful floodlit pool for your exclusive enjoyment.

Although very private, with a 100 yard driveway, the tranquil property is not isolated.

The house has been very well restored by French artisans and is equipped to a very high standard. The high ceilings and rooms of generous proportions give the house an airy feel.

Outside there is a 30' floodlit swimming pool with roman steps which is exclusively used by our holidaymakers. A barbecue, garden furniture including sun loungers, bikes, soft tennis and boules are provided together with a full size table-tennis table in a huge attached barn. Large areas of the garden are mown regularly by our caretaker and the rest is left to encourage the wildflowers and grasses.

English caretakers. Owners' second home.

And large swimming pool
French country kitchen with large fireplace

Miramont which has a beautiful large lake with sandy beach, canoeing, wind surfing, fishing and tennis is 15 minutes away. There is a second lovely lake just above Duras at St. Sernin. Miramont has a lively market on
Mondays which is well worth a visit. Marmande, ten minutes in the other direction, is the large local town with a very interesting market on Saturdays and others during the week. The town has two cinemas, a museum, good quality shops and restaurants. Seyches is our local village and is a short bike ride away. Here in the pretty square with its banana trees can be found one of the best family run, cheap restaurants in the area. There are also small shops, a post office, bank, small supermarket and a tennis and a boules court. There is a major supermarket within 7 minutes on the way to Marmande - open lunchtimes. Do visit Duras with its famous chateau and lakes.

The area is wonderful to explore with all of the Bordeaux chateau names within easy reach and excellent local wines at Duras and Tonneins. There are also many good restaurants ranging from local good food to haute cuisine, and all the usual holiday occupations available such as tennis, swimming, golf, canoeing, horse riding etc. We have compiled a file of suggestions to help you enjoy your holiday and our visitors continually add details of things they have discovered.
