The stone property with ancient origins is situated close to the Dordogne river valley and its medieval bastides, in the land of Michel de Montaigne where the art of living has been shaped over centuries.
Bordeaux and its international influence are less than 45 minutes away by car, 30 minutes by train. The Atlantic beaches are just a little further.
The main house includes an impressive 52 m2 reception room, with 5-metre-high ceilings, ancient stone flooring, monumental stone fireplace and exposed ashlar walls.
The master suite on the upper floor features an arch carved into the rock itself, a free-standing bathtub and a dressing room.
The independent 60 m2 guest house, the infinity pool suspended above the rolling hillsides of the Entre-Deux-Mers complete this unique picture.
Attached to the main house and separated from it by the ancient stone castle wall, the 116 m2 barn with its centuries-old oak doors offers remarkable extension potential, whether via the existing staircase or through an opening created from the reception room, subject to study and validation by an architect or master craftsman, given the exceptional thickness of the walls.

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.
