Beautifully renovated luxury country house offering exceptional living spaces, a spectacular cathedral-ceilinged reception room, independent guest accommodation and a private chapel used as a gym. Set within beautifully maintained grounds, the property features a new saltwater pool with Jacuzzi, mature trees, excellent outdoor living and stunning sunset views.
Set in the peaceful countryside of south-west France, within easy reach of Vergt, this exceptional property enjoys a wonderfully private rural setting while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities. The surrounding countryside offers the quintessential Dordogne lifestyle, with rolling landscapes, picturesque villages, historic châteaux and celebrated vineyards providing an outstanding environment for both permanent living and holidays.
A picturesque lake is located just moments from the property, offering opportunities for swimming, boating and relaxed meals at the local guinguette. Shops, schools, restaurants, cafés and bars are all within easy reach, while the wider Dordogne Valley provides an exceptional choice of cultural, gastronomic and leisure activities.
Privately positioned within beautifully maintained grounds, this exceptional country property has been thoughtfully renovated to create a sophisticated yet welcoming home where contemporary comfort sits naturally alongside character and craftsmanship.
The principal residence has an exceptionally well-considered layout, with the accommodation flowing naturally from one space to the next.
At its heart is a magnificent living room dominated by a spectacular 7-metre-high cathedral ceiling. An elegant open fireplace provides a focal point, while a bespoke oak and steel staircase and handcrafted lighting add a distinctive architectural character to the room. Generous glazing and carefully considered proportions create a light-filled space with a wonderful sense of volume.
The spacious kitchen and dining room form the true heart of the home. Beautifully designed for both entertaining and everyday family life, the room incorporates a comfortable seating area, creating an inviting place to read, chat or relax while meals are prepared.
Immediately outside the kitchen, a covered veranda extends the living space into the garden and provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining, evening drinks or a quiet morning coffee.
The entire upper floor is devoted to an impressive principal suite, creating a private retreat away from the rest of the accommodation. The bedroom is bright and spacious, with bespoke wardrobes and bookshelves individually crafted by local artisans.
The beautifully redesigned bathroom continues the same high standard, incorporating a full-sized bath, walk-in shower and double washbasin, complemented by beautifully crafted oak furniture.
A hallway from the main staircase leads to a second sitting room, providing a more intimate and relaxed living space. A wood-burning stove creates a particularly cosy atmosphere during the cooler months, while the room also offers an excellent setting for entertaining friends.
Two further bedrooms are located off this second sitting room, each benefiting from its own shower room. The arrangement provides excellent flexibility for family living, guests or visiting friends.
Guest House and Outbuildings
A beautifully presented independent maison d'amis provides additional accommodation and is perfectly suited to guests or extended family. It includes a kitchen and living room on the ground floor, with a stylish bedroom and bathroom upstairs.
Further outbuildings include a laundry room with shower, which is equally practical for household use or cleaning up after outdoor activities, together with a boiler room incorporating a WC and washbasin.
A workshop provides useful additional space, while close to the main house a cleverly designed covered area currently used for storage creates another particularly versatile space. With appropriate works and permissions, this could potentially be converted into a fourth bedroom or additional accommodation, perhaps for teenagers or visiting family.
Gardens, Pool and Outdoor Living
The grounds have been beautifully maintained and are planted with numerous mature trees, creating an established and private setting around the house.
A newly installed saltwater swimming pool with integrated Jacuzzi provides an exceptional leisure area. The position of the pool and surrounding terrace has been carefully chosen to take full advantage of the setting, with wonderful views across the landscape and spectacular sunsets throughout the year.
The covered outdoor area adjoining the house further enhances the property's appeal, providing a natural extension of the principal living spaces and making the estate particularly well suited to relaxed outdoor entertaining.
Adjacent to the parking area is a useful garage with roller-shutter doors at both the front and rear, allowing convenient access for vehicles and equipment.
Private Chapel
One of the property's most unusual and appealing features is its private chapel, adding a rare sense of history and individuality to the estate.
The chapel is currently used as a gym and music studio and has been adapted for practical modern use, with running water, WC and fibre internet connection. It could equally provide an inspiring creative studio, office, wellness space or simply remain a unique private feature of the property.
A Rare Lifestyle Property
This exceptional home offers a particularly attractive combination of refined living, authentic character and modern facilities. The spectacular cathedral-ceilinged reception room, beautifully appointed principal suite, independent guest house, private chapel and exceptional outdoor living areas give the property an unusually distinctive personality.
Set in a peaceful position yet close to a lake, local amenities and the many attractions of the Dordogne Valley, it provides an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the best of French country living without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
The combination of sophisticated renovation, bespoke craftsmanship, mature grounds, new saltwater pool and Jacuzzi, independent guest accommodation and private chapel makes this a truly special property, equally suited to a permanent residence, luxurious second home or an exceptional family retreat.
