Charming Stone Cottage with Pool and Garden in a Peaceful Hamlet Setting

Property Description

Located in a peaceful hamlet on the wooded heights above the Dordogne Valley, this charming stone Périgourdine house enjoys a beautiful natural setting surrounded by forest and countryside. Walking trails start directly from the hamlet, making it ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The property is just 4 km from the highly sought-after village of Trémolat and only 10 minutes from the market towns of Lalinde and Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, with their shops, restaurants and services. Several historic villages, including Molières and Cadouin, are also within easy reach.

Dating from around 1847, the house offers a bright and welcoming interior with plenty of natural light. Recent improvements have enhanced energy efficiency and winter comfort, an important advantage for a traditional stone house in this region. The official living area is 107 m², although the actual usable floor space feels larger thanks to the layout and ceiling height in part of the upper floor.

The ground floor opens onto a spacious open-plan living area combining kitchen, dining area and sitting room, creating a warm and sociable living space. The sitting room features a fireplace with a wood-burning insert, providing comfort and atmosphere during the cooler months. A traditional split stable door leads directly from the living room onto the terrace and garden, allowing easy access to outdoor dining and summer living. The ground floor also includes a shower room with WC.

The house consists of two sections: the original Périgourdine house and a renovated section built above the attached barn. In the original part of the house, there is a large double bedroom under the sloping roof, along with a spacious landing currently used as a reading and meditation area and additional storage space. The renovated section above the barn includes a bright and spacious main bedroom featuring a freestanding claw-foot bathtub, a room currently used as an office which could also serve as a small bedroom, and a shower room with WC. This section benefits from full-height ceilings, giving a particularly comfortable sense of space.

An attached barn of approximately 60 m² is currently used as a garage and storage area and offers excellent potential for conversion (subject to necessary permissions), allowing future owners to expand the ground floor living space or create additional accommodation if desired.

The property sits on a plot of approximately 1,700 m² with a mature garden that includes a well-established organic kitchen garden and several fruit trees. A patio directly behind the house serves as the main outdoor dining area, while a wooden deck with a wisteria-covered pergola provides a shaded and private space that is ideal for relaxing during hot summer days. The garden also features a 10 × 5 m swimming pool set within a pleasant and private setting.

Just one minute’s walk from the house, several viewpoints offer beautiful views across the Dordogne Valley.
