About this Property

Built in the 19th Century and previously owned by the same family for over 150 years, Le Manoir is a sympathetically restored château set in the heart of the Perigord Vert. Renovated throughout, this country estate offers the very finest local craftmanship and quality fittings.

The château comprises on the ground floor: a spacious and welcoming reception-hall, a fully equipped modern kitchen with solid stone countertops, a tower room and three elegant reception-rooms each with french doors opening to a south-facing terrace. The well-proportioned laundry-room, WC and office complete the downstairs accommodation. A central passageway that neatly connects both wings of the house contains many original features including the exquisite period covings and architraves. The grand spiral staircase leads up to the first floor where four double bedrooms all with modern-fitted bathrooms await. A housekeeping room offers ample storage for spare linen and towels on this level. Continuing up to the second floor you will be greeted by a large reception area flanked by two stunning penthouse bedroom suites. Access out from this rooftop level to two secure terraces offering sumptuous panoramic views!

The nearby guardian's cottage is discreetly positioned out of eyeshot and consists of a large modern fitted kitchen/diner, lounge with stone fireplace and on each level a spacious bedroom each with its own modern fitted bathroom. The cottage has its own private garden and entertaining area.

An enclosed south-facing heated swimming pool has traditional stone paving and a statement vaulted wood-framed covered terrace with summer kitchen, open fire, shower and WC.

A substantial two-storied barn offers a cinema and recreation area along with workshops and a further office. Roadside access to a large integral garage. A second traditional Perigourdine barn easily accommodates the annual supply of heating wood for the château-sourced from the village scierie. Within the picturesque gardens of two acres are sculpted shrubs, raised beds and fruit trees. A decorative hexagonal pigeonnier and two functioning wells complete the offering. The château and cottage have fibre internet connections and are both fully double-glazed. Both properties are serviced by mains drains.

Aquitaine

Dordogne

Excideuil

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.
