PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE!

Due to a change in family circumstances, we are now keen to sell-up and move more quickly than we had anticipated. With this in mind we have reduced the price of our property to just €470 000 which is an €80 000 saving on the agents valuation.

Please contact us on 06 74 61 16 60 with any questions or to arrange a viewing.

Ile de Patiras is a fantastic location in the middle of the Gironde estuary around 1.5km from either shore. The only access to the island is by private boat from either Pauillac on the Medoc peninsular or from just north of the town of Blaye on the “mainland” side. Both of these towns are about 50kms North of Bordeaux. The whole island is about 4kms in length and about 1.5km in width. It is almost uninhabited having just one family of permanent residents and two others coming for short stays. L’ile de Patiras is one of only two islands in the estuary that remain in private ownership, and because it is in a planning “red zone” no other houses will be built.
