One double bedroom and a family bathroom also sit on this level, while upstairs are four more bedrooms (three with their own ensuite) offering flexible accommodation for up to 10 guests.
Outside, the large lawned garden is dotted with croquet and boules courts, a trampoline, a hammock strung beneath the trees, and a whimsical play caravan for little adventurers.

A converted barn offers endless fun come all weather types, home to a games room with table tennis, table football, darts, pool table and even a train set.
Maison Semoussac is on a country road in rural landscapes between Bordeaux and the Atlantic coast, just five minutes by car from Saint-Ciers-du-Taillon with its bakery, restaurant and grocery store. You’ll find more extensive amenities and restaurants in nearby Mirambeau, and sandy beaches, vineyards, a popular waterpark and the celebrated Zoo de la Palmyre all within reach for wonderful days out.
For those seeking relaxed country living with every comfort and convenience, Maison Semoussac promises a truly memorable family escape.
Located in the open countryside of south-west France, on a country road leading to local villages, Maison Semoussac offers a wonderful escape with far-reaching views of fields, vineyards and woodlands. Perfectly positioned between the Atlantic coast and some of the region’s most celebrated wine destinations, this charming home invites guests to experience the best of both worlds - French countryside and easy access to exceptional cultural and coastal attractions.
A short drive brings you to Saint-Ciers-du-Taillon (4.5km), where you can pick up fresh bread, essentials or enjoy a meal at the local restaurant. For a wider range of dining options and amenities, the market town of Mirambeau (8.5km) is just ten minutes away by car, home to four restaurants, a supermarket and all you’ll need during your stay.
Nature lovers will be drawn to the beautiful walks along the Gironde estuary, where quiet trails reveal salt marshes, migratory birds and panoramic river views. A scenic drive leads to the sandy beaches of Meschers-sur-Gironde (38km) or the lively seaside town of Royan (48km), both perfect for a sun-soaked day by the sea between a 40 to 50-minute drive.
Meanwhile, Zoo de la Palmyre (60km), around an hour away, is an exceptional wildlife conservation park, renowned for its care and wide range of species — a real hit with children and adults alike. Families may also enjoy a day out at Les Antilles de Jonzac (22km), a tropical waterpark just 25 minutes from the house, offering pools, slides and spa facilities.
Wine and history enthusiasts will relish a day trip to the unesco-listed village of Saint-Émilion (80km) and Libourne (73km), where medieval streets and prestigious vineyards offer a quintessentially French experience. Alternatively, spend a day discovering Bordeaux (78km), just over an hour away, with its elegant architecture, vibrant riverside quays and world-class wine bars.
