Approached via a long cypress-lined driveway, these superb properties are set in beautiful grounds with a pond. The property is full of rustic character and original features, including exposed beams, stone walls, impressive fireplaces, terracotta floors, and authentic period details.
In addition to the main residence, the estate also includes a well-appointed two-bedroom guest house, ideal for hosting family and friends or generating rental income (subject to necessary permissions).
The main house opens into a spacious entrance hall. To the left, a ground-floor bedroom is directly accessible, while a second bedroom is reached via a small wooden staircase. Opposite the hall is the kitchen, and the living room is on the right. Further along the corridor, a shower room with double basins and a WC, finished in travertine, completes this level.
The kitchen features a beautiful period fireplace, and the adjoining living room, with its impressive corner fireplace, enjoys pleasant views over the garden. From both the kitchen and the living room, there is also access to a dining room and a study. A staircase from the kitchen leads to two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Another bedroom with an en-suite shower room is accessible from the study. From the study, a second staircase leads down to a bedroom with large French doors opening onto a stone terrace and the garden, along with a full bathroom (shower, bathtub, double basins, WC) finished in travertine.
Finally, a partially renovated former barn with a mezzanine, accessible from the dining room, offers excellent potential for further development or use as a creative space.
The independent guest house is comfortably arranged and includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open-plan kitchen and living area featuring a wood-burning stove. Two doors open onto separate terraces overlooking the garden, providing peaceful outdoor living spaces.
The garden is equally impressive and includes a 12 x 5 m swimming pool surrounded by a travertine terrace, a covered barbecue area, a pool house with WCs and showers, and a summer kitchen.
A large barn of approximately 15 x 15 m, with a recently renovated roof and framework, is accessible via wide double doors or from the pool house. It offers a generous storage area for vehicles and equipment and could also be used for equestrian or other activities.
The estate covers around 11.5 hectares and features three large flat fields, wooded areas, a pond fed by a spring, and a well.
Ideally located in the countryside, it enjoys immediate proximity to Bergerac Airport, providing easy access to international flights.

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.
