The magnificent grounds which surround the buildings are a mix of hundred-year old trees, ornamental shrubs and trees, pretty flowering beds, wild-flower lawns, stone walls, a mix of fruit and nut trees and climbing plants… a real paradise of nature which has inspired an artist.

The grounds are very slightly sloping with lovely views of the landscape around, occasionally permitting a peep at the pretty rooftops of the nearby village bordering the river… all enclosed on three sides with a mature hedge and secured by two sets of wooden gates (west and south).

A very peaceful location for this property which is not directly overlooked nor completely isolated, near to all amenities in Le Bugue (market Tuesday and Thursday), Le Buisson-de-Cadouin (market Friday) and Lalinde (market Thursday and Saturday) as well as all the famous tourist sites and river sports of the Périgord Noir.
