What an idyllic setting! I love going back to this house just to inspect the beautifully-tended garden. It's just full of périgourdin charm and there's plenty do on site and in the villages nearby. |

Vergt (2km) has good shops, services and restaurants, a recreational lake (Lac de Neufont with swimming, pedaloes, playground, restaurant), tennis courts and horse riding. There is a wider selection of shops and good restaurants at Périgueux (20km) and Bergerac (32km). There is a 9 hole golf course at St-Félix-de-Reilhac (20km) and an 18 hole course at Marsac-sur-l'Isle (25km). |

Exterior |
| The property stands in just over 6 acres of grounds among mature trees, shrubs and lawns with splendid views over the surrounding rolling countryside and woodland. A huge converted barn with a games area, a fridge and a wc leads to the swimming pool with an outside shower. A beautifully restored pigeonnier (dovecote), with a barbecue and a sink, serves as a covered dining area with idyllic views of the surrounding countryside. There is a small pond at the front of the house (30cm deep). |

Interior |
Living accommodation is contained within the main building on three floors (Main House), an Annexe on two floors and an independent Studio. Access between the three buildings is external only.
The interiors are decorated to a high standard and comfortably furnished throughout. Beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and antiques enhance the original features of the interior of the Main House. The fully-equipped kitchen with a dining area opens to the front of the house with access to the barn and dovecote. A laundry room, a bathroom with a separate shower and a sauna (charge payable locally), and a separate wc are also on the ground floor.
A narrow 16th century staircase from the main entrance leads up to the first floor where there is a comfortable living room with an open fireplace, and a double bedroom with an integrated bathroom with a wc.
The second floor has two bedrooms each with one double bed and one single bed (and each with an air-conditioning unit) as well as a wc and a washbasin on the landing.
The Annexe has been recently restored to a good standard and contains an attractive living area with a kitchen corner and a lovely conservatory with views of the countryside. There is a shower room with a wc on the ground floor and a double bed on a mezzanine (restricted headroom).
The Studio consists of a double bedroom and a shower room with a wc.
