Ideally positioned between the vibrant market town of Chalais and the celebrated village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, officially recognised among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, this attractive property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining close to everyday amenities. Surrounded by rolling countryside and within easy reach of Bergerac and Bordeaux airports, as well as high-speed TGV rail connections, it offers both seclusion and convenience.

Nestled within beautifully established gardens and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, this charming property offers a rare combination of peaceful country living and attractive hospitality potential.

The estate is arranged around a welcoming main residence complemented by three independent guest houses, all benefiting from a desirable south-facing position and set within mature, flower-filled grounds. A productive vegetable garden allows for home-grown organic produce, enhancing the property's appeal for those seeking a sustainable lifestyle.

The principal house combines character and comfort. At its heart is a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen, warmed by a modern pellet-burning stove that provides both efficiency and ease of control. The elegant 47 sqm sitting room is flooded with natural light thanks to recently installed bi-fold doors that frame the surrounding landscape. A wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months. The accommodation further includes two charming bedrooms and a substantial attic space offering additional possibilities.

Scattered throughout the grounds are three beautifully renovated guest houses, each finished to a high standard and tastefully decorated. These independent accommodations provide excellent flexibility for hosting family and friends or developing a holiday rental business, subject to the necessary permissions.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. A magnificent heated swimming pool measuring 12 x 6 metres forms the centrepiece of the leisure facilities and is surrounded by a spacious recently completed terrace ideal for relaxing and entertaining. Overlooking the pool, a delightful flower-covered pergola provides welcome shade during the summer months, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and gatherings. A dedicated games room further enhances the property's recreational appeal.

The estate also benefits from an extensive range of outbuildings, including barns, workshops and a large hangar, providing abundant storage and workspace for a variety of uses.

Offering a wonderful balance of tranquillity, accessibility and lifestyle potential, this delightful country property is perfectly suited as a family home, holiday retreat or hospitality venture. With its panoramic views, quality guest accommodation and superb location close to some of the region's most attractive destinations, it presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of southwest France.
