In a little hamlet on the edge of the Dordogne River, Le Mas de Fronsac invites you to experience country living at its most authentic. This beautifully restored mas offers a relaxed holiday abode with a private swimming pool overlooking one of France’s most famous rivers.
The home’s architect owner has meticulously reimagined the interiors, resulting in an elegant two-storey layout where original features meet thoughtful design. Cool stone floors, exposed beams and pretty windows create an airy, welcoming atmosphere, while spaces like the music room, contemporary kitchen and elegant dining area lend personality and charm. Four inviting double bedrooms, two of which enjoy air-conditioning, are spread across the upper floor, including one with a little balcony overlooking the river.
Outside, the grounds unfold like a private park, with expansive lawns shaded by mature trees and framed by river views. The 10-metre pool sits beside a sun terrace lined with loungers, while a dining area, courtyard breakfast nook and barbecue encourage lingering lunches and al-fresco meals on summer evenings. For leisurely afternoons, the boules court promises friendly competition. A private pontoon on the river invites quiet moments of fishing or watching the world drift by.
Le Mas de Fronsac enjoys a privileged setting just over a 10-minute drive from the market town of Libourne, with its traditional food markets, supermarkets and lively café culture. Wine lovers will find themselves in the heart of Bordeaux’s right bank, with the legendary vineyards of Saint-Émilion only 20 minutes away. Bordeaux itself, with its grand boulevards, wine-bars and museums, is only a 45-minute drive. For coastal day trips, the golden sands of Arcachon, the Dune of Pilat and the surf-friendly shores of Lacanau are all within reach.
Whether you’re reconnecting with family or simply seeking a riverside escape, Le Mas de Fronsac offers space, style and a timeless sense of place in the heart of southwestern France.
Please note, the sliding pool cover in the photos has now been removed and replaced by an alarm.
