This beautifully renovated farmhouse is a real gem and a video tour is available. Lots of points of interest, light, bright & spacious, original character features yet a very comfortable home with modern creature comforts. The garden is beautiful - wild, yet well maintained and the pool area is perfect for dining al fresco and relaxing. A lovely quiet spot, yet just 3km from local shops & restaurants and 45 mins from the airport.
All the accommodation is arranged across one level, so ground floor bedrooms that lead straight out to the garden and terraces. There is scope to extend into the barn and increase the size of the master suite bathroom, if required.

The garden is just over 1.5 acres and is a lovely mix of wildlife areas with mature trees, and beautiful planting in beds surrounding the terraces and pool area. There are lots of shady seating areas, a copse of trees that is ideal for hanging a couple of hammocks and a tree house that would keep any small visitors entertained for hours.
The nearby village of Gensac is a very pretty and there is a good selection of shops, a bank, bakery, doctor, medical centre, schools, chemist and tabac. There is also a small weekly fresh produce market and Gensac is also home to a couple of well-regarded restaurants. It's just a couple of kilometres from the Dordogne river and there are also three leisure lakes nearby. If you're a keen tennis player, there are courts available and there is an active tennis club. If golf is more your thing, there are a couple of good courses nearby to choose from. It's an easy drive to the nearest train station with a direct line into central Bordeaux and Bergerac airport is an easy 40minute drive. As well as a lovely stretch of the river Dordogne to explore, other towns and villages in the local area that are worth investigating might be St-Foy-la-Grande, Pessac-sur-Dordogne and Sauveterre-de-Giuyenne
