An elegant and charming traditional stone property in a magnificent and tranquil setting. Interior 200m². Exterior 4 hectares.

The property is situated in an elevated position with beautiful views overlooking the undalating, wooded hills above the Valley of the Five Chateaux in the heart of the Perigord Noir.

An ancient tree-lined driveway, a 'chemin rural', leads to the property and adds to its unique romantic feel. The house itself is nestled in its four hectares of lawns, established gardens, meadows and woodland.

The property has been completely renovated using quality materials in respect of the original features and character of the house.

GROUND FLOOR: living room with a large open fireplace, an elegant fitted kitchen, a south-facing conservatory opening out on to a patio, a utility room, a bathroom with Italian floor tiles, and a double bedroom with exposed stone walls and French doors opening onto the garden.

FIRST FLOOR: double bedroom also with exposed stone walls, a dressing room, wc, and a third bedroom. There is the added potential of creating a fourth bedroom in the attic.

A stone outbuilding with original bread oven has been beautifully restored for use as an artists studio and, with the addition of a bathroom, could equally serve as a guest house.

There are two other original small stone outbuildings.

New oil central heating system throughout, new traditional style wooden and double glazed windows, and an underground rain water collector.

From the property you can stroll down to the Dordogne river (2 km) or enjoy pleasant walks on the surrounding network of footpaths.

Well-situated within 10 minutes of Castelnaud, St. Cyprien, Beynac, Belves and St. Cybranet, 20 minutes from Sarlat and 50 minutes from Bergerac airport.

An absolute gem, with all the ingredients of a quintissential Dordogne property - stunning peaceful location with superb views, an interior worthy of being featured in Country Life magazine, and located within easy reach of all the major attractions of this unique world-renowned and unspoilt landscape. Here you really can live the Dordogne dream!
