An Exceptional Estate in the Heart of the Périgord Vert

Far from the hustle and bustle of major cities and the glittering Michelin-starred restaurants of Paris or Lyon, the Périgord Vert offers a unique way of life—one shaped by nature, gastronomy, and history. Here, cuisine is rooted in the land: more authentic, more rustic, more real. The black truffle, affectionately known as the region’s “black gold,” reigns supreme. Its rich aroma enhances omelets and potatoes, whether delicately shaved or stirred into generous sauces. It is the culinary soul of this preserved corner of France.

If the truffle is the soul, then the castles and manor houses of the Périgord are its beating heart. More than a thousand historic estates are scattered across its wooded hills, often hidden behind rows of centuries-old oaks or nestled by quiet lakes. Among them, “Le Mas” stands out—a rare gem located in Saint-Barthélemy-de-Bussière, a charming and authentic village in the northern Dordogne, right in the heart of the Périgord Vert.

This majestic estate stretches across 144 hectares, including 87.5 hectares in a single, continuous parcel of untouched natural land, composed of hills, forests, meadows, and peaceful ponds. A vast lake, bridle paths, and sweeping views define the landscape—where silence and serenity reign supreme.

At its center stands a beautifully preserved 19th-century manor house, once the summer residence of the Lords of Limoges, accompanied by a private chapel, stables, a covered riding arena, barns, garages, an indoor swimming pool, and several character-filled outbuildings.

Lovingly restored with passion and sophistication, the main house boldly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance: period woodwork, designer furnishings, and unexpected bursts of color create a refined and inviting atmosphere. It is a masterful balance of tradition and modernity, set within an incomparable natural environment.

Just a short distance away, a 9-hole golf course invites relaxation. The surrounding forests offer ample opportunities for hunting, hiking, or simply observing local wildlife. And when evening falls, seated beside your private lake, you’ll enjoy foie gras with black truffles, accompanied by a glass of Monbazillac, the region’s emblematic sweet wine—perfectly complementing the richness of the Périgord’s terroir.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
