8 Bed House for sale
Villamblard, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France
Full Description
Set on an elevated position near the village of Villamblard, in the highly sought-after Périgord region close to Bergerac, an exceptional 17th-century Demeure de Caractère, offering privacy, generous proportions and timeless elegance within an unspoilt natural setting. Surrounded by approximately 8 hectares of land, with no immediate neighbours, the property enjoys a rare sense of seclusion. Half of the land consists of open meadows perfectly suited for horses, while the remaining woodland creates a peaceful and protected environment, ideal for those seeking space, nature and privacy.
Offering around 497m² of living space, the residence embodies the noble proportions and architectural refinement of historic Périgord estates. From the moment one enters the vast entrance hall, the tone is set, generous volumes, high ceilings and an atmosphere that speaks of centuries past, carefully preserved and enhanced.
The ground floor unfolds into two magnificent reception lounges, both enriched with original fireplaces, as well as a refined dining room featuring a striking wooden mantelpiece. These elegant living spaces are designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family life. A fully equipped kitchen completes this level, alongside a dedicated billiard room, adding a distinctive lifestyle element to the property. Also on the ground floor are two spacious bedrooms, with a shared bathroom bathroom, allowing for comfortable single-level living.
Upstairs, the property offers five additional bedrooms served by three shower rooms, each room retaining its individual character. Several bedrooms showcase exceptional original roof frameworks, with exposed beams of remarkable craftsmanship — architectural features that are rarely found in such preserved condition.
An additional attic room beneath the roof, already full of character, offers further potential for development, should additional accommodation be desired.
Adjacent to the main house, to the rear of the property, stands a substantial barn housing a complete equestrian facility, including six horse boxes and direct access to a 40 x 60m riding arena. This configuration allows for a seamless integration of equestrian life within the estate, without compromising the aesthetics of the main residence.
The swimming pool, south-facing, enjoys open views over the surrounding countryside. Equipped with an electric safety cover, it blends harmoniously into the setting and offers a privileged place for relaxation throughout the season.
More than a home, this property is a true heritage estate, combining history, refined architecture, land, leisure and income potential. Perfectly suited as a prestigious private residence, an elegant family retreat, or a high-quality lifestyle and hospitality project, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic and substantial 17th-century demeure in one of the most desirable regions of southwest France.
