Description
Situé dans l'un des quartiers les plus prisés de Bordeaux, à proximité immédiate du Parc Bordelais, cet ensemble immobilier représente une opportunité patrimoniale rare en nue-propriété.<br>Il se compose d'une maison principale d'environ 106 m², actuellement divisée en deux appartements indépendants, chacun disposant de son propre compteur. À l'arrière, une petite maison indépendante loué complète l'ensemble pour une surface totale habitable d'environ 136 m². À l'avant, un double garage de 40 m², anciennement exploité en pharmacie, offre un potentiel d'aménagement supplémentaire ou d'exploitation professionnelle. Le bien est aujourd'hui en monopropriété.<br>Des travaux structurants ont récemment été réalisés, avec une toiture refaite il y a un an et un raccordement au tout-à-l'égout effectué il y a deux mois, apportant des garanties appréciables dans une logique d'investissement long terme.<br>La vente s'effectue en nue-propriété avec un occupant âgé de 93 ans. L'acquisition bénéficie d'une décote immédiate de 10 % par rapport à la valeur vénale du bien. En cas de départ anticipé de l'occupant, une indemnité de libération (DUH) de 70 000 € est prévue, offrant une visibilité financière claire et sécurisée.<br>Il s'agit d'un placement patrimonial stratégique, permettant d'anticiper la constitution d'un actif immobilier de qualité dans un secteur recherché, sans gestion locative ni fiscalité sur les loyers pendant la durée d'occupation.

Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Le Bouscat
An affluent inner suburb of Bordeaux known for its tree-lined streets, Art Deco architecture, and excellent tram connections to the city center. It has a village-within-a-city feel with a popular market, good restaurants, and property prices below central Bordeaux.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
