Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Perfectly positioned on the peaceful banks of the River Isle, yet just a five-minute level stroll from the vibrant centre of Saint-Astier, this distinguished Belle Époque residence offers an exceptional combination of historic elegance, privacy, modern comfort and authentic French living.
Recognised as one of Saint-Astier's notable historic homes, the property showcases beautiful period architecture, generous proportions and timeless character, while benefiting from thoughtful modernisation throughout. Set within approximately 3,600 m² of landscaped gardens with direct river access, it enjoys a rare balance of tranquillity and convenience, with cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities all within easy walking distance.
The accommodation comprises seven bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged over four floors. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading to an elegant 43 m² double reception room, a formal dining room and a beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen with dining area.
The first floor is dedicated to an impressive principal suite, comprising a spacious bedroom, a large en-suite bathroom, a private sitting room (which could also serve as an additional bedroom), a dressing room (currently a bedroom) and a separate WC. The second floor offers three further generous bedrooms and a shower room, while the top floor provides a charming guest suite with exposed beams and its own private shower room.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens provide several terraces for outdoor entertaining, centred around an attractive fountain and extending down to the River Isle. A superb 10 m × 5 m swimming pool with its own shower and WC creates the perfect setting for summer relaxation. A separate outbuilding, currently used as a games room and garage with independent access, offers excellent potential for conversion (subject to the necessary permissions). Additional features include extensive cellars, attic space, mains drainage, town gas and parking for several vehicles.
The lifestyle offered by this remarkable home is equally impressive. Imagine beginning each morning with a short riverside walk into Saint-Astier for fresh bread and coffee before returning home through peaceful gardens. Throughout the year, the town hosts lively weekly markets, festivals and community events, creating a vibrant atmosphere that continues well beyond the summer season.
For those who enjoy dining out, an excellent choice of restaurants ranges from traditional French bistros to Michelin-recognised cuisine, while supermarkets, independent shops, healthcare facilities and essential services are all within easy reach on foot.
The location is ideal for an active lifestyle. Tennis and padel courts lie directly across the river, while the River Isle offers canoeing, kayaking and other watersports. The renowned Dordogne cycle route passes immediately outside the property, providing spectacular riverside rides through picturesque villages and countryside towards Périgueux.
Excellent transport links further enhance the property's appeal. Saint-Astier railway station offers direct services to Périgueux and Bordeaux, with Bordeaux International Airport comfortably accessible, making this an ideal residence for both permanent living and an elegant French retreat.
Rarely does a property combine such historic significance, generous accommodation, riverside grounds and immediate access to one of the Dordogne's most desirable market towns. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to enjoy one of the region's finest lifestyles.
