Encircled by vines and open countryside, Maison Baleyssagues captures the easy elegance of rural life in south-west France. This architect-designed, single-storey residence stretches across 225 square metres, where pretty shuttered doors open onto beautiful gardens and extensive views beyond.
The interiors are light-filled and carefully composed. A high-ceilinged salon with a piano and library encourages slow mornings, while the dining room and well-equipped kitchen invite convivial evenings over regional wines. Each of the three ensuite bedrooms opens directly to the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly. Thoughtful touches such as a Bluetooth speaker, Wi-Fi and shaded dining terrace with a Weber barbecue enhance the stay with understated luxury.
At the heart of the garden lies the stunning heated pool, a unique shape framed by lavender and flowers. With sun loungers arranged across a generous terrace, this is a space for lingering, whether with a good book or a leisurely swim beneath the wide blue sky.
Just five minutes away by car lies Duras, a fortified medieval town rich in heritage and local colour. Its weekly market bursts with regional produce, while the imposing château offers panoramic views across the Dropt valley. Here you are in the heart of the Côtes de Duras appellation with many local domaines waiting to be visited. Wine-lovers also note Saint-Émilion, Bergerac and the famed Entre-Deux-Mers wine region are all within easy reach, offering excursions steeped in culture, gastronomy and history.
Whether you’re planning slow summer days by the pool, vineyard visits or lively summer night markets beneath the stars, Maison Baleyssagues offers an idyllic base in one of France’s most rewarding regions.
