Full Description


Positioned in an elevated spot within just over one hectare of mature grounds, this distinctive estate with its origins dating back to the 13th-century enjoys far-reaching countryside views and a wonderfully tranquil setting between Bergerac and Saint-Émilion.

The surroundings offer a true sense of rural escape, while still being conveniently close to daily amenities, including a popular Saturday market, local shops and restaurants, and train connections providing easy access to both Bordeaux and Bergerac. The region’s renowned vineyards, picturesque bastide towns and scenic walking routes are all within easy reach, making this an exceptional base for enjoying life in Southwest France.

Over the last twenty years, the property has been thoughtfully restored and refined by its owner, a renowned architect. Careful attention has been given to preserving its historic essence while introducing comfort and functionality for modern living. The result is a home that beautifully balances period character with spacious, practical interiors designed for both family life and entertaining.

Accessed via a private driveway, the main house retains strong architectural presence, with an attractive period façade and well-proportioned rooms throughout. The reception spaces are warm and inviting, with easy flow to the outdoors, while the kitchen acts as the heart of the home, opening onto a covered terrace framed by roses—perfect for outdoor dining. The property offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, providing excellent flexibility for guests, family living or hospitality use. A further room, located within the tower and reached by ladder access, adds a unique additional space.

The grounds wrap gently around the house, opening out to uninterrupted countryside views and creating a strong sense of privacy. Mature trees, lawns and multiple terraces provide varied outdoor living areas throughout the day. A beautifully positioned 14 x 7 metre swimming pool offers the perfect setting for summer relaxation and entertaining, while a stone garage and former bergerie provide additional storage and utility space.

Set apart within the grounds is a second historic stone building, known locally as the Priory, along with its adjoining barn and former ice house. Believed to be the oldest property in the village, it presents a rare opportunity for renovation and could be transformed into guest accommodation, a gîte, studio or workspace, subject to the necessary permissions, adding significant lifestyle and income potential.

Combining authentic historic charm, sweeping views and excellent access to nearby towns and transport links, this property offers an enviable country lifestyle—equally well suited as a permanent residence, a holiday retreat, or a hospitality-focused project.
