Sifex doesn't normally list new builds but this one is so charming!
Built in 2004 to an exacting bespoke design, this remarkable stone residence was conceived to combine the timeless appearance and proportions of a traditional country manor with the comfort, efficiency and practicality of a modern home.

Constructed using high-quality materials throughout, the property provides approximately 450 m2 of exceptionally generous living space. Its elevated position gives almost every aspect of the house a wonderful outlook across the surrounding countryside, while the carefully designed orientation ensures abundant natural light.

A particularly appealing feature is the flexibility of the accommodation. The property can function as a substantial four-bedroom family residence, or as a principal home with a completely independent guest apartment. Internal connecting doors allow the two areas to be combined whenever required.

The principal accommodation is approached through a generous entrance hall with a guest WC. This level includes a useful summer kitchen and utility room, together with a magnificent principal bedroom suite incorporating its own bathroom. A further double bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom.

The principal living spaces are arranged around an impressive cathedral-style room on the first floor. With its dramatic volume and abundant glazing, this spectacular open-plan space provides a wonderful setting for both everyday life and entertaining. A fully equipped kitchen flows into the dining area and comfortable sitting room, where a wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point.

A charming mezzanine overlooks the main living area and provides additional flexible space, suitable for reading, working or relaxing.

Independent Guest Apartment
The adjoining apartment extends to approximately 150 m2 and provides an unusually high standard of independent accommodation.

Its generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opens onto a private balcony, with steps descending directly to the pool terrace. Two spacious bedrooms each have their own shower room, making the apartment ideal for family and friends or for longer-term independent occupation.

The apartment is internally connected to the main residence, meaning the entire property can easily operate as one substantial four-bedroom home. Alternatively, the two areas can remain entirely separate, offering considerable flexibility for multi-generational living or hosting guests.

The house is surrounded by approximately half a hectare of beautifully landscaped grounds. Mature trees and established planting create an attractive sense of privacy, while the elevated position ensures that the magnificent countryside views remain a defining feature of the property.

The outdoor setting has been designed as an extension of the house, with generous terraces providing several areas for dining and relaxation.

The centrepiece is an exceptional heated infinity swimming pool measuring approximately 17 x 5 metres. Treated with saltwater and fitted with a reinforced liner, the pool is positioned to take full advantage of the property's spectacular outlook.

An elevated covered terrace provides an especially attractive place from which to enjoy the views, whether for morning coffee, an evening aperitif or outdoor dining with family and friends.

Energy Efficiency and Comfort

The property benefits from a geothermal heat pump system, providing an efficient source of heating and year-round comfort. Combined with the quality of the construction and high standard of materials, this gives the house the advantages of contemporary energy-efficient living while retaining the appearance and atmosphere of a traditional stone residence.

A Flexible Country Home

This is a particularly versatile property, equally suited to permanent family life, a luxurious second home or multi-generational living.

The combination of approximately 450 m2 of accommodation, a substantial independent apartment, exceptional panoramic views, beautifully landscaped grounds and a spectacular infinity pool creates an unusually complete lifestyle property.

Its proximity to Bergerac further strengthens its appeal, providing easy access to international travel, restaurants, markets and the many attractions of the surrounding Dordogne and Bergerac wine regions.

An elegant and highly individual stone residence offering exceptional views, sophisticated contemporary comfort and genuine flexibility, in a peaceful countryside setting within easy reach of Bergerac.
