Charming Périgord-Style Home with Pool, Beautiful Garden and Outbuildings

Property Description

In a peaceful setting in a small hamlet, less than 3 km from the lively village of Sainte-Alvère, this charming Périgord-style home comes with a swimming pool, separate garage/workshop and a particularly attractive mature garden.

The house has a warm, authentic feel and a practical layout. The separate dining room adjoins the well-equipped kitchen, while the inviting living room features a traditional fireplace fitted with a wood-burning insert. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office/library. The property is in very good condition and has been meticulously maintained.

French doors lead directly from the house onto a spacious terrace and the swimming pool, attractively set amongst the greenery, with plenty of room for outdoor dining and enjoying the long Dordogne summers.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this property. Laid out with a park-like feel, it combines mature trees and several intimate, shady places to sit with a large and varied vegetable garden and numerous fruit trees. The property also benefits from its own spring water, a particularly useful asset for the garden. And the produce then finds its way into the cave, where shelves filled with jars of home-preserved fruit and vegetables provide a lovely reminder of just how much the garden produces.

A separate outbuilding houses a garage and workshop, providing useful space for the car, practical projects and hobbies.

Everyday amenities are close at hand. Sainte-Alvère is less than a five-minute drive away and offers shops, restaurants and medical facilities. The village is also well known for its winter truffle market and, particularly during the summer months, has a lively programme of markets and cultural events.

The property is also an excellent base from which to explore the Dordogne. Beautiful villages, castles, gardens and other attractions are all within easy reach, as are numerous opportunities for walking, cycling, golf, horse riding and canoeing.

A complete and characterful property, equally suited to permanent living or as a comfortable holiday home, with a garden where outdoor life is almost as important as the house itself.
