Fortified Country House Estate with Guest Cottage

Beautifully restored fortified residence with panoramic views, guest cottage, lagoon-style swimming pool and charming gypsy caravan accommodation. Set within 3.5 hectares of meadows and fruit trees, the property offers four bedrooms, income potential, equestrian possibilities and an exceptional lifestyle at the crossroads of three regions.

Ideally positioned where the Dordogne, Lot and Lot-et-Garonne departments meet, this remarkable property enjoys a commanding setting overlooking the surrounding countryside. Surrounded by rolling landscapes, historic villages and some of Southwest France’s most beautiful scenery, it combines privacy and tranquillity with convenient access to amenities. Villefranche-du-Périgord is just 10 minutes away, Fumel 15 minutes, and the popular bastide town of Villeréal can be reached in under 30 minutes.

Perched in a dominant position overlooking the surrounding countryside, this magnificent character property is immediately recognisable by its distinctive fortified tower. Carefully and comprehensively renovated, it combines historic charm, modern comfort and breathtaking panoramic views in one of the most desirable areas of Southwest France.

The main residence offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over several levels. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall featuring an original bread oven sets the tone for the property's authentic character. This welcoming space leads to a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a convivial sitting and dining room, creating an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining. Also on this level is a comfortable bedroom with its own private bathroom.

The first floor reveals one of the property's most spectacular features: a generous double reception room centred around a magnificent period fireplace. A further bedroom with shower room is located on this level, alongside a superb covered terrace that enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the countryside, providing an exceptional setting for outdoor dining and relaxation throughout the day.

Occupying the upper floor is an elegant principal suite complete with private bathroom and its own terrace, offering a peaceful retreat with elevated views. An additional room on this level can serve equally well as a further bedroom, study or home office.

The estate also benefits from excellent ancillary accommodation and outbuildings. A substantial garage provides space for up to three vehicles and is complemented by a workshop and laundry room.

A charming independent guest cottage offers excellent accommodation for family, friends or paying guests. It comprises a kitchen and sitting room on the ground floor, while upstairs are two bedrooms, each with its own private shower room. The cottage opens onto a magnificent terrace overlooking the property's beautiful lagoon-style swimming pool.

Adding further character and appeal is a delightful traditional gypsy caravan, fitted with a living area, kitchenette and shower room. Together with the guest cottage, it presents attractive opportunities for seasonal rentals, wellness retreats, seminars or boutique hospitality activities, subject to any necessary permissions.

The property extends over more than 3.5 hectares of land, including open meadows and a variety of mature fruit trees such as fig, peach, olive and persimmon. A well provides an additional practical resource, while the gently rolling grounds are ideally suited to horses and other countryside pursuits.

Combining history, charm, panoramic views and versatile accommodation, this exceptional property perfectly captures the French art of living in an outstanding natural setting. It offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive country estate with both lifestyle appeal and income-generating potential.
