In a small hamlet with no through traffic, close to St Emilion and the beautiful Dordogne valley, this immaculate property consists of a traditional Girondine principal house and five gites. It is situated in approximately 8000 square metres of mature, well planted gardens which have some exceptional specimen trees and shrubs as well as a large swimming pool. The ensemble is delightful both as a home and a valuable source of income.
The property has been completely renovated by the current owners who upgraded the south facing house to create a luxurious four bedroom family home. The house was built of stone in the 19th century and still retains many original features. It has a large farmhouse kitchen with a door which opens to the pretty gardens and a spacious living room/dining room which runs the full width of the house. From this room three sets of French doors open onto a covered terrace and the gardens beyond.The owners then developed a large stone barn to give three two bedroom cottages, a single bedroom cottage and a light filled, first floor studio apartment which looks over vineyards from its private balcony. The property is successfully advertised with Alisdair Sawdays as one of their Special Places to Stay as well as via the owners' website and has regular repeat bookings, giving a useful income stream.
