Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Dreaming of a life change in the Dordogne with a ready-to-run business with magical guest accommodations? Just a short drive from Sarlat, this property combines a charming stone family home with two extraordinary guest accommodations — a professionally built treehouse and a magical hobbit-style underground lodge — both generating year-round income. This is not your typical holiday rental setup; it’s a one-of-a-kind lifestyle business with serious commercial potential. The property is currently run as a gite and bed and breakfast business (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration).
The main residence, a former stone barn, has been tastefully converted into a welcoming family home. Bursting with character, this property offers an inviting open-plan kitchen and living area with exposed stone walls and oak beams, a mezzanine currently used as a study, four generous bedrooms, and three large bathrooms. You'll enjoy modern comforts too, including underfloor heating, fibre optic internet and an impressive energy rating – all wrapped in rustic charm.
Tucked discreetly within the grounds are two guest units that are nothing short of exceptional.
The first is an architect-designed luxury treehouse. Blending adventure with comfort, it offers a private terrace suspended among the trees and a hot tub overlooking peaceful woodland, creating a romantic and unforgettable experience.
Equally captivating is the hobbit-inspired underground home—a semi-subterranean retreat that feels like something out of a storybook. Hidden into the landscape for total privacy and equipped with its own garden and hot tub, it is an ideal retreat for guests seeking magic, escapism and a touch of fantasy.
Adding even more potential, the property includes an untouched building waiting to be transformed. With the right vision, this could become a substantial gîte, a collection of charming chambre d’hôtes suites, a wellness or event space, or even more themed accommodation—subject to permissions. A portion of the land is also designated as constructible, offering further development potential for ambitious buyers.
The grounds themselves are beautifully laid out and perfect for both business and private use. A large 15.8m x 6m swimming pool invites long summer days, while a traditional working bread oven brings authentic Dordogne character to outdoor entertaining. Useful outbuildings add practicality, and the setting is peaceful without being remote.
Located in one of France’s most visited regions, the property sits close to Sarlat, Montignac and the Dordogne River, making it a magnet for tourists who come for prehistoric caves, mediaeval villages, kayaking, gastronomy and stunning natural beauty. Excellent transport links and nearby airports ensure accessibility, while schools, shops and year-round local life make it equally ideal as a full-time residence.
This is far more than a home — it is an exciting business opportunity with soul. Whether you are seeking an investment, a new family adventure or a meaningful change of pace, this enchanting property is waiting to inspire.
