About this property

Chateau With Private Pool In A Vast Wood And A Park In A Formal French Style

The origins of the chateaux dates back to the 14th century when the Aquitaine region was ruled by kings of England. In the 18th century the king of France authorised the construction of the noble house of Vieux Fourens. In the past 25 years the chateaux has been lovingly and authentically restored by its present owners Philippe and Marie George. There are two further outbuildings and a chapel on the grounds of the chateaux. The chapel dates back to the 16th century. It has a crypt and a fountain and if interested the owners would be pleased to tell you the history behind it. Located in the vineyards of Bordeaux you take the long and charming drive through the woods of its own to reach the chateaux in its well kept grounds. The world famous St Emilion and the classy Bordeaux are both UNESCO protected and celebrated for their architecture and their wine. They are waiting to be explored! You will have the choice of discovering the countryside and the local wildlife either on foot or by bike on designated cycle paths along the river Dordogne or through the vineyards. It is for certain that you will be encountering local wildlife such as deer, pheasants, squirrels around the protected and natural reserve of the chateaux before returning and dipping your toes and relaxing by the delightful 12 X 6m pool. This year we add a tree house in the middle of the wood for you to rent to be closer ti wildlife.There is also tennis, golfing, horse riding in the vicinity for the more energetic guests.

Wonderful house in beautiful park
We enjoyed a wonderful week at le grand bois. The house was beautiful and fully equipped in a park like setting. Our host, Philippe, did a great job to make us feel welcome and at home. The large pool was beautiful, as well as the surroundings. It was very peaceful, but close to villages and shops and the city of Bordeaux. The three dogs at the property were welcoming us every time we returned home. It was all that we could wish for!
