About this property
Set among six hectares of vines and open countryside in the heart of Gironde, Domaine Peyrayey is a relaxed abode just 15km from Bordeaux’s historic centre. This traditional stone house sits within a working wine domaine, where wide lawns and open skies create an easy, unfussy atmosphere for up to 8 guests. The setting is charmingly simple, with the space and freedom to settle in, slow down and soak up the French sunshine.
Accommodation is spread across two floors, with an open-plan kitchen and dining area leading directly to the garden. The living room feels informal and welcoming, with Wi-Fi and TV for relaxed evenings in. There are four comfortable bedrooms, including a ground-floor double with courtyard access and a private shower room, as well as a large family bathroom upstairs. It’s an unpretentious space with everything you need for a laid-back stay.
Outdoors, the property really comes into its own. The private pool, set 50 metres from the house, is perfect for cooling off after leisurely lunches on the terrace. The large, lawned garden invites picnics and games, while the on-site tennis court is a great addition for guests looking to stay active.
Just 2km from the small village of Yvrac and close to the outskirts of Bordeaux, the location gives excellent access to some of southwest France’s most celebrated destinations. Daily essentials are just a short drive away, while Bordeaux’s vibrant city centre, Libourne’s riverside charm and the vineyard-clad slopes of Saint-Émilion are all within easy reach. The Atlantic coast is also a tempting day trip, where pine forests, lakes and vast sandy shores promise outdoor adventures and ocean breezes.
Whether you're exploring grand châteaux, sampling regional vintages or simply enjoying the space to unwind, Domaine Peyrayey offers a relaxed base where the pleasures of wine country meet the simplicity of rural living.
Set in six hectares of vineyards and open countryside, Domaine Peyrayey enjoys a superbly connected location in the heart of southwest France’s wine country, only 15km from Bordeaux’s city centre. 2km from the village of Yvrac, this wine-producing estate (home to the rental property, vineyard office and owner's home) offers a great base with easy access to the cultural riches and gastronomic pleasures of nearby towns and cities.
You are a short drive from everyday essentials including a bakery, supermarket and pharmacy. Other large supermarkets and a selection of restaurants can be found a little further afield, ideal for stocking up or enjoying a relaxed evening out. Just 8km away, the riverside suburb of Lormont is worth a visit for its scenic Garonne views and green spaces.
Bordeaux itself is a captivating city renowned for its grand 18th-century architecture, vibrant riverfront and world-class wine heritage. Stroll through the historic centre, a unesco World Heritage Site, where elegant boulevards, leafy squares and striking landmarks like the Place de la Bourse and the Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André reflect the city’s rich past. Bordeaux is also a dynamic cultural hub, home to acclaimed museums, theatres and a thriving food scene, with everything from bustling markets to Michelin-starred restaurants. For a change of scene, Libourne (26km) by the banks of the Dordogne is also loved for its gastronomic restaurants and wonderful markets.
Wine lovers are particularly well placed here, with easy access to some of France’s most revered wine regions. Saint-Émilion (33km), a unesco-listed medieval town famed for its prestigious vineyards, is just half an hour away. For those keen to explore further, the Médoc peninsula beckons with its iconic wine châteaux in Margaux (38km) and Pauillac (66km), offering superb tasting experiences amidst beautiful vineyard landscapes.
For a superb day out, head west for just over an hour towards the Atlantic coast where the freshwater lakes of Lac d’Hourtin-Carcans and Étang de Lacanau offer calm waters and sandy shores ideal for swimming, kayaking or simply soaking up the natural beauty. The lively beach at Lacanau itself is a favourite for surfers and features sweeping dunes, Atlantic waves and relaxed beachfront dining. There are some lovely cycling and horse-riding opportunities through the forest near the lakes and shore.
Whether you're discovering the secrets of Bordeaux's wine routes, exploring heritage towns or simply unwinding with good food and wine, Domaine Peyrayey's convenient location offers a great French escape at the crossroads of culture and countryside.
