Perched gracefully on top of a gentle hill, this remarkable estate commands sweeping views across the lush, rolling countryside. With 75 acres of varied terrain stretching down to the riverbanks, the estate offers serenity, space, and a touch of grandeur.
With its wide stretches of meadows, woodlands, and gently rolling pastures, the property is ideally suited for equestrian use. The landscape offers ample potential for grazing and picturesque riding trails, while also lending itself to other agricultural ventures or agri-tourism activities (subject to the necessary permissions).
At the heart of the estate stands a charming six bedroom farmhouse, rich with rustic character and warmth. Surrounding it are a collection of beautifully restored stone buildings, including an exquisite former granary, two detached cottages, and a fully renovated barn featuring a gym, a studio apartment with a balcony, and ample workshop and garage space.
The converted granary (which can be divided into 2 separate dwellings) is particularly striking, spacious and refined. It features luxurious touches such as marble countertops, a copper La Cornue range cooker, double ovens, a white stone fireplace, a copper bathtub, and an ornate basin.
Adjacent is the original converted granary, now a charming four bedroom home with its own kitchen and living room. This property could be let independently or interconnected with the new granary, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental income.
Nearby, a stylish two bedroom cottage offers contemporary comfort with generous living space.
Another stone-built cottage, near the farmhouse, provides a bright open-plan kitchen and living area, along with four bedrooms - two of which are more compact and ideal for children or guests. (Please note: this cottage serves as the caretaker's residence, occupied under a lease).
Outdoor living is elevated by two stunning swimming pools - one a
10 x 5 metre heated pool with a spacious terrace for relaxation, and the other a luxurious 12 x 6 metre pool accompanied by an elegant pool house and breathtaking southerly views. A private tennis court adds to the estate's resort-like feel.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the domaine is just a ten-minute drive from the bustling market town of Thiviers, offering a full range of amenities and train connections.
Whether as a peaceful family retreat, a refined equestrian estate, or a boutique hospitality venture, this exceptional property combines natural beauty, historical charm, and unmatched versatility.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
