With panoramic views of the Dordogne countryside, this
beautifully renovated farmhouse sits within 35 hectares of stunning gardens and
woodland and boasts a private tennis court, heated swimming pool and home
cinema. With spacious grounds and luxurious facilities to enjoy, it may be
difficult to venture into the outside world, but the renowned medieval town of
Sarlat is just a short drive away for shops, restaurants and places of
interest. Dating back to the 18th century, this refurbished farmhouse
is composed of 2 wings, connected in the middle to form a ‘U’ shaped
property. With beamed ceilings and
original features, this estate is as well suited to the winter months as
summer, curled up in front of the open fire with a book, and snuggled in the
home cinema to watch a film, or sunbathing by the pool after a game of tennis.
Punctuated by picturesque villages, bastide towns, medieval
chateaux and pre-historic caves, the Perigord Noir region is attractive both
for its rich heritage and natural landscapes. Within a short drive you can
reach Sarlat-la-Caneda and Domme, full of life with restaurants, shops, market
stalls and street buskers. With numerous pretty villages to explore in the
area, it is also worth visiting Marquyssac gardens and the Clos des Sources in
Vitreac. At La-Roc-Gageac you can visit ancient troglodyte dwellings or embark
on a river cruise on a ‘gabarre’, the typical flat bottomed boat of the region.
Further afield you have destinations such as Rocamadour, Belves, Bergerac and
Perigueux well worth a day trip, with numerous vineyards producing some of
France’s most prestigious wines en route.
