Full Description
Dating back to the 16th century, this stunning manor, once a stop on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, offers panoramic 180-degree views of the Dordogne Valley. The property, now a cherished home, bed and breakfast, and gîte complex, celebrates its rich history and character (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration).
The main house has been renovated to preserve its charm, featuring a spacious kitchen with exposed beams, stone walls, and a wood-burning stove. Double doors open onto a south-facing terrace with views of the gardens, swimming pool, and distant lake. Above the kitchen is an airy master suite with ensuite, dressing room, office, and living space.
A bright dining room with a stunning fireplace leads to a cozy drawing room, also with a fireplace featuring the Santiago shell motif. A second entrance hall connects to a bathroom and a spacious kitchen/dining/living area with an en suite bedroom upstairs. A separate staircase leads to a games room and another large ensuite bedroom. On the top floor are two further en suite bedrooms, one with a dressing room.
At the end of the terrace, overlooking the swimming pool, is a separate stone building with a guest cottage and a studio apartment, both with private outdoor spaces. Another building houses an artist’s workshop and laundry room, with potential for further development (subject to necessary permissions).
Set within 2 hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens, the property offers easy access to Bergerac and Bordeaux by car or train, with airports just 30 minutes and 1 hour away, respectively.
