Sarrazac, Dordogne, France

Superb Perigourdine mansion with 15 hectares of tranquillity

Immaculately presented private estate in the heart of the Dordogne countryside.

This delightful residence, once home to a 16th century nobleman, is set in 15 hectares (40 acres) of gardens, meadow and woodland, yet within walking distance to the local village.

The property has been tastefully renovated over the past 12 years and the quality of the craftsmanship throughout is excellent.

This attractive home has four double bedrooms, a pool house with changing room and shower room and a large barn which could easily be converted to provide further accommodation for guests (subject to permissions).

The wide entrance hall leads to a washroom and then to a fully-fitted modern kitchen with dining area on the one side and a lounge with large fireplace on the other. Both reception rooms have double-French doors opening onto the sun terrace and large windows on two other sides.

Up to the first floor level and a wide landing area leads you to the impressive main bedroom with ensuite bathroom. On this level there is another double bedroom and separate bathroom.

On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and also a shower-room with WC.

Safety and security is assured with a monitored alarm system, electric gates and CCTV coverage. There is also fibre internet connection and good mobile phone cover.

Outside, there is a pristine barn with a footprint of 200m2 with two large entrances. Nearby can be found a large pool-house which contains a laundry room, pump/sand filter equipment and also a shower/changing room area which benefits from underfloor heating.

The pool is 12m x 6m and has a reinforced roller cover plus a sensor surround system linked to an alarm. A modern heat pump solution assures year-round comfort.

Not far from the house is an ornamental spring filled lake, surrounded by mature trees that provide ample shade to while away those summer afternoons.

The extensive grounds gently tilt eastward from the rear of the property and are comprised of woodland and prairie. The land, along with the barn, makes the property perfectly suited for equestrian use.

The centre of the local village is a leisurely stroll of 10 minutes (1km) where you can find an excellent restaurant and grocery shop. The market town of Thiviers is just a 10 minute drive away, with several supermarkets, doctors and a train station. The towns of Périgueux and Limoges (with its airport) are less than an hour away.
