About this Property

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! The original Chartreuse dates back to the 16th century with additions in the 17th and 19th century to include two wings and a tower which created a superb formal courtyard.
The property is laid out over 3 floors, with 457m2 of habitable space on the ground floor, 305m2 of space on the 1st floor and 55m2 on the 2nd floor.
There is a snug off the kitchen area, and above the kitchen is a mezzanine study area. In one wing of the outbuildings is a huge reception area currently used as a games room. Behind here is the wine cellar and the properties old wine chai (it was once a wine producing Chateau).

The Chartreuse bedrooms are all of a good size with many having en-suites. There are 8 bedrooms in the main property:
Bedroom 1 is on the first floor and is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom across the corridor as well as a large dressing room.
Bedroom 2 is on the second floor and is a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The ceiling is open to the stairwell so makes an ideal family suite with Bedroom 1
Bedroom 3 is on the first floor and is a double bedroom with a shared family shower-room with Bedroom 4.
Bedroom 4 is on the first floor and is a double bedroom with a shared family shower-room with Bedroom 3. There is also an additional living room that is shared between Bedroom 3 and Bedroom 4 with TV and sofa-bed. On this floor there is also a 5th bedroom.
Bedroom 6 is on the ground floor and is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom (with shower over).
Bedrooms 7 and 8, also on the ground floor, are double rooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Outdoor Living:
You approach the Chartreuse through formal gates into the beautiful gardens and then through the inner gates into the courtyard. The Chartreuse gardens have many mature trees providing complete privacy. The 14m x 7m swimming pool is fully fenced (glass panels) and very private. The beautiful, covered summer kitchen, dining and seating areas enjoys views over the pool and gardens.

There is a completely independent cottage, suitable for a guardian. It does not overlook the swimming pool area at all. A new 2 bed apartment is being created in the coach house, this will be for a new owner to complete. A newly completed function room would lend itself to weddings and private parties, offering possibilities as a successful income generating property.

Bergerac

Aquitaine

If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
