Description

Exceptional 15th-Century Manoir with 5 star Gîte, Heated Pool & 4.5ha Estate

Nestled in the rolling hills above the Dordogne valley, just minutes from the village of Coux-et-Bigaroque and with superb views, the 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom manoir also has a 5-Star, 3 bedroom gite and 2 bedroom studio, traditional outbuildings and a large heated swimming pool.

The property is a rare and remarkable example of a restored 15th-century fortified manor house uniting historic grandeur with modern living and income-generating potential. Set within 4.5 hectares of peaceful parkland, meadows, truffle oaks and private woodland and just 5 minutes from local amenities,, the estate offers panoramic views and a lifestyle of refinement and seclusion, yet is easily accessible to the heart of the Périgord Noir's most popular sites.
