A Jewel in the Périgord Noir

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Set in an elevated and exceptionally private position, this unique property is a true jewel of the Périgord Noir, enjoying magnificent panoramic views across the surrounding valley. Situated in Siorac-en-Périgord, and approximately two hours from Bordeaux, the property offers an enchanting combination of traditional Périgord character, individual design and contemporary comfort.

Approached through electronically operated gates, protected by video surveillance and framed by an impressive four-metre-high hedge, the property immediately conveys a wonderful sense of privacy and security. An elegant driveway, lined with mature acacia trees, winds its way towards the house.

Built in 2003 and extending to approximately 200 m², the house has been individually designed in the traditional Périgord style, with beautiful exposed stone giving it a timeless sense of place. The generous 2.8-hectare grounds provide both space and seclusion, while the elevated setting ensures that the exceptional valley views remain a defining feature of the property.

Inside, the house is characterised by generous proportions, natural materials and a wealth of carefully considered details. The ground floor offers two fireplaces and an impressive four terraces, creating a natural connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape. High-quality stone slab flooring runs throughout, while underfloor heating, supplied by an oil-fired system, provides warmth and comfort.

One of the principal living rooms is particularly striking, with a ceiling height of 3.40 metres, creating a wonderful sense of volume and light. The kitchen continues the emphasis on natural materials, with both the worktops and sink crafted from the same beautiful natural stone.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. One room rises to an exceptional 3.92 metre ceiling, while the charming tower room provides an especially memorable feature. Currently used as a dressing room, it rises to 4.51 metres and offers a fascinating view into the roof structure.

The first floor also benefits from a balcony and beautiful parquet flooring. Bathrooms and utility areas have been finished in a contemporary black concrete material, providing an elegant contrast to the traditional stone architecture.

The construction itself has been thoughtfully conceived for year-round comfort. The entire house is built with double walls incorporating insulation, helping to maintain a stable and comfortable internal temperature throughout the seasons.

Outside, the grounds offer an exceptional canvas for enjoying the Périgord lifestyle. Rainwater is collected in a substantial underground cistern and reused for watering the gardens and plants, and a gently sloping lawn provides the perfect space for a swimming pool (subject to planning permission). Furthermore, a spacious garage provides valuable additional storage and parking.

A rare and individual property, combining the romance of traditional Périgord architecture with generous proportions, exceptional privacy and breathtaking views, this is a home that truly needs to be experienced to be appreciated.
