Built in 1900, it would be very difficult to beat the wonderful views from this beautiful country house. The Dordogne river slowly meanders past the end of the garden and on a warm, sunny day, it is very difficult to muster the energy to do anything other than sit and watch river life slowly drift by. The house is surrounded by 4.25 acre gardens including two plots of vines, a swimming pool and numerous outbuildings.
Whilst the house would benefit from updating, it is in good condition and the spacious, light rooms, the location and the grounds mean that all the ingredients are here to create something really spectacular. There is 340m2 habitable space in total, spread across the main house and the independent guest house. Here's the current layout:

The gardens are another major feature of the property. Beautiful planting, sunny terraces and shaded seating areas, the swimming pool, lawns and a lovely shady terrace right by the river. There is a small slipway down to the river which is ideal for launching canoes. The main slipway is 400m away, up in the village and you have a boat, you could launch it here and then tie up in front of the house. It is a wonderful relaxing place to enjoy spending time. The plot includes two areas of vines, managed by the local farmer. The swimming pool has a recently installed pump and sand filter system. There are several useful outbuildings including a 75m2 garage, workshop, bread oven and former stable.
