An Estate and Maison d’Maitre with guardian cottage near Issigeac, Eymet, and Bergerac : Discover Your Own Piece of History: The Epitome of Luxury and Timeless Art Deco Elegance

Situated high on a hill overlooking the heart of Dordogne's enchanting Dropt Valley, this opulent estate with stunning views invites you into an era where luxury was crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Step into a world where the past meets the present, where your dreams of grandeur and the tranquility of rural life converge seamlessly.
The Main Residence: A true masterpiece of Art Deco design, this five-bedroom home was meticulously built in 1933. It stands as a testament to the architectural splendor of the time. Each room showcases the symmetrical lines and geometric patterns characteristic of the period, creating an atmosphere of both sophistication and warmth.
The ground floor boasts a spacious living area perfect for gatherings with a formal dining room and living room, ideal for entertaining, extending out to a large terrace with amazing views. A fully equipped Neptune kitchen and walk-in pantry marries vintage charm with contemporary functionality. A large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom is also located on this level. There is a separate guest toilet. Ascend to the first floor via two grand staircases, where four bedrooms offer private retreats with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The large principle bedroom extends to an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe changing room. Three other spacious bedrooms share two bathrooms. In addition, there is a family Tv room which could also be used as an additional bedroom.
The house has three functioning fireplaces and air conditioning in the family room and master bedroom. There is also oil central heating. The attic, once staff quarters, holds potential for expansion for additional living space or guest quarters for 3 extra bedrooms and a bathroom. Currently one large room is an artist studio and the remaining rooms are used for storage. The Maison d’Maitre has a substantial basement which houses an air-conditioned wine cellar to preserve your vintages in perfect condition complimented by the original lower-level wine cellar. The basement includes a sauna and shower, enhancing your wellness facilities. It also accommodates work shop areas, gardening equipment and mowers.
The Grounds: The domain extends over 32 acres of verdant land, once part of a historic wine estate enhanced by centuries old cedar trees. There is a horse trail around the property. The infinity pool, stretching 6 x 17 meters, invites you to swim into the horizon, while the petite vineyard, cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, allows you to indulge in the fruits of your own land. Two serene ponds compliment the landscape, one is fed by a natural spring. There is a well, and a pigeonnier nestled in the gardens that enhance the pastoral beauty of the estate. For those with a love for sports, a championship sized tennis court awaits your serve.
The Guardian Cottage: A large, charming two-bedroom cottage offers independence for guests or caretakers, ensuring privacy while maintaining the estate's lifestyle.
Additional Amenities: The expansive main barn provides space for hobbies, storage, or perhaps a new venture. Additionally, an open barn, situated behind the tennis court, is a perfect space for outdoor entertainment, BBQs and a comfortable under cover area to watch and enjoy social tennis matches with friends and family.

Embrace a Lifestyle of Elegance:

This estate isn't just a home it's a lifestyle. A sanctuary where you can write your own chapter in the story of this historic land. Imagine evenings spent sipping homemade wine from your vineyard on the terrace, under the dappled shade of the majestic cedar tree, watching the sun set over the valley, or hosting grand events in a setting that feels like it's out of a bygone era yet equipped with every modern luxury.

For those who seek more than just a place to live but a legacy to inherit, this property beckons. Embrace an existence where every day is a celebration of beauty, history, and the art of living well.
