Description

Summary

Set on the banks of the River Dordogne, and offering a four bedroomed house plus two bedroomed guest cottage set around a courtyard and pool, this rates as an outstanding property from which to enjoy the delights of this region. The richness of character inside (terracotta floors, ornate chimneys, oak beams) are matched by the features set in the garden - stone apple presses, feature ponds and wells to name a few. But let's not detract from the delights that the river offers - running two hundred metres along the north boundary, it is constantly alive and changing, and awash with wildlife including a family of swans who have set up home on the island opposite. Reputed to be the cleanest river in Europe, this stretch offers hours of enjoyment for dippers and fishing enthusiasts alike.

Private and peaceful, the property is surrounded by vines on two sides, and yet is close to both Bergerac airport and a wonderful bastide town famed for its local market.
