Aquitaine, Dordogne, Lalinde, France

Wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautiful authentic 5 bedroom Manor House with one bedroom annex and outbuildings, nestling in over 60 acres of glorious land with a lake, equestrian facilities, gardens and pool, while enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location near Lalinde.

This very special property has a stunning heart-shaped lake, pastures and stabling, a guest annexe and high quality barn designed to house a car collection or to provide a potential events space.

The main manor house has a large entrance hall with a grand wooden staircase. To one side is an eat-in kitchen and a veranda that is currently used as a dining room overlooking the terrace and the 12 x 6m pool. There is a practical boot room and WC at the end of this wing.

In the other wing, there are two lovely living and dining rooms with fireplaces, one with a stunning herringbone parquet floor. Both of these rooms, and the study, have doors opening onto the South-facing terrace with views over the lake. A laundry room completes the ground floor.

On the first floor there are three large and light en suite bedrooms, including a master suite with a large walk in wardrobe, and a pretty fourth bedroom overlooking the entrance. The attic has been converted into an additional bedroom or fitness space and a large games room.

A separate guest annexe is available in the renovated barn, with a kitchen open onto a living room, an en suite bedroom and a laundry room (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions).

Extensive garaging in the renovated barn offers space for a car collection, storage or potentially (subject to necessary permissions) it could make a superb space to organise events. Further garaging is available in a separate building that is tall enough to house a motorhome.

The property is set in over 24 hectares of gardens, pastures and woods. The heart-shaped lake of 0.5ha is a key feature in front of the manoir. Well-maintained stables can be found in the fenced pasture area. The current owners have shares in a nearby airstrip with hangar space, which may be available to acquire.

Bergerac Airport is 27km away and the pretty market town of Lalinde is around a 5 minute drive from the property. This is a super opportunity to put your stamp on a well-maintained and relatively energy efficient country house that is ready to welcome a new family.
