Nontron (24) - Stunning riverside..

SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION - DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

This is a property for the discerning buyer seeking a haven of peace and serenity in one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations you will find in the Perigord Vert. Situated on the banks of a river at the head of a long private driveway, this property is a genuine rural hideaway yet is within just 5 minutes of a busy market town.

The property consists of just over 9 acres of riverside land consisting of lawns, grassland, woodland and 450 metres of private riverbank. There is a 5 bedroom Maison de Maitre dating from 1815, two gites with the capacity to sleep up to 16 guests and a heated and covered swimming pool. The property has been operated as a successful holiday destination for over 20 years and now the owners are ready for a well-earned retirement.

The main house has accommodation over three levels offering many different options for how it could be utilised. On the ground floor there is currently one large Bedroom and a Laundry Room which has a separate external door so that it can be accessed by the guests staying in the gites. Also on the ground floor is the pump for the Geothermal heating system which provides low cost heating for the main house and the swimming pool.

A wide staircase leads up to the first floor which is where the principle living space is located. The 40m2 Lounge enjoys a double aspect, has the original solid wood floor and a wood burning stove set within a magnificent fire place.

Along the Hallway is the large Dining Room which enjoys far reaching views to the south, along the river valley, and opens up onto a graveled terrace which also has a covered, external dining area. There is an open hatch through to the Kitchen which is equipped with dishwasher and oven.

Also on this floor are two Bedrooms, one with Ensuite Shower room, and a Bathroom with W.C.

The Master Bedroom on the second floor is enormous, covering 45m2. It has been created with one principle aim; that is to make the most of the views of the river as it tumbles over the weir and then meanders its way down the valley. It has a range of fitted wardrobes and an Ensuite Shower Room.

The other large Bedroom is set aside for the owner's grandchildren and accommodates several beds. A door from this room leads into a large attic space which could be converted to create additional living accommodation if required.

The two gites are offered for sale as an ongoing business and include all furniture, linen, towels etc. Each is equipped to a similar standard with delightful open plan living areas, whilst guests adore the stunning riverside location. One gite has three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms whilst the other has five bedrooms (one of which is designed to accommodate disabled guests) and four bath/shower rooms. Guests have the option to fish along the riverbank, enjoy the 14m by 7m swimming pool and to play the six hole pitch and putt golf course that the owner establishes on the land each summer.

The property sits within the beautiful countryside of the Parc Naturel Regional Perigord-Limousin although it is just 5 minutes drive to the centre of Nontron, a bustling market town with a good range of bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. It is just 45 minutes from the medieval city of Perigueux whilst the international airport at Limoges can be reached in around 50 minutes.
