Elegant 17th-Century Country Estate in the Heart of the Périgord

Property Description

Located on a hilltop near the village of Villamblard, in the highly sought-after Périgord region, close to Bergerac, this exceptional 17th-century manor house offers privacy, generous spaces, and timeless elegance in the heart of a protected natural setting.

Surrounded by approximately 8 hectares of land, with no immediate neighbors, the property enjoys rare privacy. Half of the land consists of open meadows perfectly suited to horses, while the remaining wooded area creates a peaceful and sheltered environment, ideal for those seeking space, nature, and seclusion.

Offering approximately 497 m² of living space, the residence embodies the noble proportions and architectural refinement of historic Périgord estates. From the moment you enter the vast entrance hall, the tone is set: generous volumes, high ceilings, and an atmosphere that evokes centuries past, carefully preserved and enhanced. The ground floor opens onto two magnificent reception rooms, both featuring original fireplaces, as well as a refined dining room with a stunning wood-burning fireplace. These elegant living spaces are designed for both large gatherings and intimate family life. Also on this level is a fully equipped kitchen and a beautiful room currently used as a billiard room. The ground floor also includes two spacious bedrooms, sharing a bathroom, allowing for comfortable single-level living.

Upstairs, the property offers five further bedrooms served by three bathrooms, each retaining its unique character. Several bedrooms showcase exceptional original timber framing, with exposed beams of remarkable craftsmanship—architectural features rarely found in such outstanding condition.

An additional attic room, already full of character, offers further development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

Adjacent to the main house, at the rear of the property, stands a large barn housing a complete equestrian center, including six horse stalls and direct access to a 40 x 60 m riding arena. This layout allows for the seamless integration of equestrian life within the estate, without compromising the aesthetics of the main residence.

The south-facing swimming pool enjoys unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. Equipped with an electric safety cover, it blends harmoniously into the landscape and offers a privileged place to relax throughout the season.

More than just a house, this property is a true heritage estate, combining history, refined architecture, land, leisure activities, and income potential. Perfectly suited to serve as a prestigious private residence, an elegant family retreat, or a high-end hospitality and lifestyle project, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic and imposing 17th-century home in one of the most desirable regions of southwestern France.
