Summary

The house that has it all! Boasting a fully renovated main house with four double bedrooms all ensuites and beautiful reception rooms; an interconnecting but self-contained wing offering two further bedrooms, reception rooms and kitchen of similar luxury; a further live-in maid’s suite; a converted Pigeonnier with bedroom and open plan kitchenette / living room; an extensive barns complex housing indoor swimming pool with sauna and kitchenette, garages, several studios and a wonderful covered dining terrace; set around beautifully manicured gardens, themselves set in the heart of a large estate of woods, meadow, bio-rated fields and ornamental lake; accessed via remote-operated electric gates and along a long tree-lined avenue; and with tennis court thrown in for good measure. Easy access to Bergerac Airport, and yet privacy, peace and quiet? Of course!

You may sense that we are very excited about this property, and you are right. Nor does it stop there – three additional cottages (in view of the main house, but located opposite the main gates a discreet distance away) offer a further 2, 2 and 3 bedrooms respectively – ideal for staff etc (although these could be hived off). This property offers an exceedingly rare combination of highly sought-after facets – don’t delay in viewing!
