Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Set high above the rolling hills of the Dordogne, this estate offers a rare blend of timeless charm, breathtaking views, and boundless potential. With over 13 hectares of land, complete privacy, and a beautifully preserved Manor House at its heart, this is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of France’s most enchanting regions.
The main house, built in the 1930s, immediately captivates with its classic proportions and character. A grand entrance hall sets the tone, flanked by elegant twin staircases that sweep up to the upper floors. The space opens into a light-filled salon, offering direct access to a wide terrace with panoramic valley views — ideal for evening cocktails with a sunset backdrop. On this same level, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen that balances traditional charm with modern convenience, along with a spacious ground-floor suite perfect for guests or single-level living.
Upstairs, the layout includes four generous bedrooms, a versatile office or family room, three shower rooms, and a walk-in dressing room. Above, the attic offers around 160 m² of convertible space — ready to be transformed into additional bedrooms, a studio, or even a self-contained apartment (subject to necessary permissions).
The basement includes multiple storage rooms, a wine cellar, a shower and a garage.
The grounds are just as impressive. Framed by mature trees, the land includes fruit orchards (fig, plum, peach, apple, and walnut), a small vineyard, and two ponds — one fed by a natural spring. A well, charming pigeonnier, and a 5x15-metre infinity pool overlooking the valley add to the property's bucolic elegance. For those who enjoy outdoor living, a full-size tennis court completes the picture.
Accommodation extends beyond the main house, with two separate gîtes offering flexible space for guests, family, or rental income (to carry out the activity as a gite, a future owner would need to obtain necessary permission and appropriate business registration) :
The first gîte, attached to a large 380 m² barn, features its own entrance, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private terrace.
The second gîte offers open-plan living on the ground floor, with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs — simple and fully independent.
Two further outbuildings present exciting possibilities for conversion (subject to necessary permissions) into creative studios, workshops, or additional guest accommodation.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful countryside retreat, a multi-generational family estate, or a destination venue for weddings and events, this property delivers something truly special. Quietly tucked away, yet within easy reach of some of the Dordogne’s most beautiful and historic villages, this is the kind of place that rarely comes to market — and leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve left.
