Summary

Tucked away in the clearing in the middle of some more remote woods in the Dordogne Valley, this property will appeal to those in search of quiet isolation - a great spot to which to escape to and unwind. Not only is the immediate area surrounded by woods, the more general area is similarly off the beaten track, and although one can enjoy glimpses of the Dordogne Valley which it overlooks, one never-the-less has the impression of being delightfully hidden away. Accessed via a long drive that winds through the woods, the property itself has been the subject of a complete renovation by the current owner, starting with the Guest Cottage before she moved on the main event. The style of it strikes the perfect combination of refined elegance whilst being true to its simple setting and humble roots as a Hunting Lodge.

Civilisation isnt too far away - although youll have to find it, it wont find you. The distance to the nearest town is only 7kms, and it has some great restaurants, a weekly market and plenty going on. Whether main residence, second home or lettable holiday home, this property is well worth a visit!
