Upstairs, five spacious double bedrooms each enjoy their own en suite bathroom. Two of the bedrooms boast grand fireplaces and high ceilings, and one also offers a private lounge. A vast attic provides exciting potential for further development, subject to permissions.

The second house on the estate, a former tobacco barn, has been carefully renovated and now offers 187m² of additional living space. Currently run as a gîte (a future owner would need to obtain necessary permission and appropriate business registration). It features its own private entrance, a large lounge-dining room with vaulted ceiling and mezzanine games area, a breakfast kitchen, and three bedrooms. French doors open onto a private terrace with far-reaching valley views and direct access to the saltwater swimming pool.

There is also a separate two-bedroom apartment with an open-plan kitchen-lounge, shared bathroom, and a private terrace, ideal for independent living or as a second rental unit.

The estate is steeped in charm, with original stone-shingled terraces, a historic pigeonnier, a traditional bread oven, and wooden outbuildings including a carport. A wisteria-draped terrace provides a perfect spot for alfresco dining. The grounds are immaculately maintained, with fruit trees, truffle oaks, a pond, and a natural water source.

Currently operating as a gîte business, the property also benefits from its proximity to a large wedding venue, the River Dordogne, and world-famous villages such as Sarlat, La Roque-Gageac, and Beynac, all within 40 minutes.

This Dordogne estate is a rare opportunity to acquire a luxury property in France with a successful business model, panoramic valley views, and multiple accommodation options in one of the country’s most desirable regions.
