Farmhouse to Renovate in Rural Setting

Superbly situated old stone farm for complete restoration comprising farm house (72m2) and adjoining barn with no roof (96m2), separate stone building with one room and adjoining open fronted barn, all set in just under 10 hectares of surrounding land with stunning views and own private driveway only 2 km from the river valley between Le Buisson de Cadouin and Le Bugue in the Perigord Noir of the Dordogne.

The south facing house comprises a living room with fireplace, one bedroom and a shower room with wc and a workshop making around 72m2 and this could be increased by converting the attic above. Adjoining the house is a ruined barn of around 96m2 and this could be doubled at least to make a total of around 200m2 of living space. The walls are sound but the roof has completely collapsed.

The second building which is around 100m up from the farmhouse is in sound condition but needs complete internel refurbishment and could make a small guest house, office or artist¹s studio. The views from this building are stunning and would be an ideal setting for an infinity pool and so this building could be made into a pool house with summer kitchen.

The property has mains water and drainage and has two natural springs but the whole of the property needs complete restoration. Access to the property is up a long private driveway making the property completely private, and the 10 hectares of grounds are mainly grassland with some woodland and there is said to be a truffle park.

This property is ideal for those who love to be isolated, surrounded by nature or just looking for a peaceful paradise which gets sunshine all day.

Perfect for horses.

Facilities: mains water et electricty.

2 Natural springs and a fresh water pond.

The department of Dordogne has some very nice property and much to offer in terms of location, with houses situated in the many striking villages found amid the rolling hills. Some villages and towns are considered so picturesque that they are categorised as Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (the most beautiful villages in France). Walkers will delight in the rolling countryside of Dordogne and there is a wonderful feeling of space here. From your Dordogne property it is easy to find peace and quiet off the beaten track in the hills, woodlands and forests.

The Dordogne River is one of the reasons why this area is a popular choice for visitors. There's nothing better than to hire a canoe and explore it for yourself. Many locations can only be seen from the water and you can make your own enjoyable voyage. On the journey you are sure to uncover lovely beaches, which make ideal locations for swimming, sunbathing and paddling. Why not have a day trip from your Dordogne property? all you will need to do is pack a picnic and away you go.

The Dordogne region of south-west France is one of the most beautiful and popular destinations in the country. Visitors to this beautiful region of France discover many chateaux, beautiful medieval towns and villages, unspoiled countryside and prehistoric caves.

In addition to its castles, chateaux, churches, bastides and cave fortresses, the region has preserved from centuries past a number of wonderful villages which still have their market halls, dovecotes, tories (stone huts), churches, abbeys and castles. Saint-Leon-sur-Vezere, Connezac, Saint-Jean-de-Cole, La Roque-Gageac and many others are real jewels of architecture. As for the old quarters of Perigueux or Bergerac, restored and developed into pedestrian areas, they have regained their former charm.

The famous caves of Lascaux have been closed to the public, but a replica of Lascaux II is open to visitors and is a major tourist attraction. Perigueux has important Roman ruins, including an arena which is still visible inside a public park located near the town centre.
