About this property
Surrounded by sweeping fields and wide-open countryside, Le Mas Gironde is a wonderfully secluded country retreat with no immediate neighbours, offering a real sense of privacy and freedom. Yet despite its peaceful rural setting, the charming market town of Monségur is just 2km away. It’s an idyllic combination for families and friends looking to relax, spend long days outdoors and enjoy time together without feeling overlooked.
At the heart of the home is its inviting private swimming pool and spacious covered terrace. During the warmer months, this area becomes a natural extension of the house – a wonderful setting for lazy lunches, evening aperitifs, barbecues and relaxed dinners that linger long after sunset. With plenty of space for dining, lounging and games, guests can spend entire days here, cooling off in the pool, playing music or simply unwinding in the shade while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Inside, this historic home has been transformed into a light-filled, contemporary space, where clean lines and modern comforts create a warm and sociable atmosphere. Glass doors connect the airy open-plan kitchen, living and dining area directly to the terrace and poolside, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow seamlessly together.
On the ground floor, a double bedroom with a sofa-bed and its own ensuite opens directly onto the garden, while upstairs you’ll find two further doubles, including one with a quirky mezzanine and cosy futon reached via a ladder. The family shower room provides practical comfort, while full air-conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout ensure every modern convenience is at hand.
Outside, extensive lawns and open farmland enhance the feeling of space and seclusion. Lounge beside the pool before enjoying a moonlit swim, challenge each other to giant Connect4 or darts beneath the terrace, or fire up the barbecue and settle in for an evening with friends. With no immediate neighbours to disturb, there is a wonderful sense of freedom, while the surrounding countryside ensures the atmosphere remains peaceful and relaxing for those simply wishing to switch off.
The location offers the best of both worlds. Monségur is only 2km away, with local cafés, a bakery, supermarket and traditional shops, while the nearby towns of Duras and Marmande offer further restaurants, vineyards, markets and historic châteaux.
Whether gathering with friends, reconnecting as a family or simply escaping to the tranquillity of the French countryside, Le Mas Gironde is a private and welcoming retreat designed for relaxed days, sociable evenings and memorable time together.
Set amidst the open countryside in south-western France, just 2km from the charming bastide town of Monségur, this pretty farmhouse offers the perfect base for exploring the rich tapestry of culture, gastronomy and natural beauty that defines the region. The surrounding landscape is a mosaic of vineyards, summer sunflower fields and quiet country lanes ideal for walking, cycling or simply soaking up the rural ambience.
Monségur itself is a lively yet laid-back hub, home to all essential amenities including café bars, restaurants, a bakery, grocery store and a supermarket. With its traditional arcaded square and summer night markets, it invites visitors to immerse themselves in local life.
Just 10 km away, historic Duras boasts an impressive château, wonderful wine bars and a weekly market on a Monday morning, while the larger town of Marmande, 30 minutes by car, is famed for its plump tomatoes and bustling produce market.
A short distance opens up a treasure trove of day trip opportunities. The Dordogne's prettiest villages, including Eymet and Issigeac, are within easy reach, their medieval streets lined with artisan boutiques and cosy cafés. Sainte-Foy-la-Grande and Castillon-la-Bataille, both perched along the Dordogne River, are perfect for a day of market browsing followed by canoeing along the water’s meandering course.
Wine lovers will relish a visit to the unesco-listed town of Saint-Émilion, where ancient wine cellars and elegant tasting rooms beckon. For a dose of urban culture, both Bergerac and Bordeaux are comfortably doable as full-day excursions, offering vibrant riverside promenades, historic architecture and excellent dining opportunities.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful rural escape or an active holiday of food, wine and adventure, this location near Monségur provides an irresistible blend of authenticity and access.
