St-Marcory, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France

I would like to show you around this contemporary timber-framed house, which boasts meticulous finishes and high-quality fixtures and fittings. It is light and peaceful, with unobstructed views over the fields stretching towards the woods.
The spacious entrance hall leads to the two wings of the house and invites you to discover, behind two elegant, bespoke metal doors inspired by the Japanese panel style, a large living room and dining room, ideal for entertaining. This 50m² room features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the swimming pool (10x4 salt-water, heated), the terraces and the unobstructed view of the meadow.
The left wing of the house comprises three en-suite bedrooms, each with a walk-in shower and lovely views of the garden.
The right-hand wing comprises a spacious, contemporary white kitchen, very well equipped and opening onto a lounge and dining room. On this side, there is a pantry and the fourth en-suite bedroom, with access from the bathroom to the swimming pool. The property offers 222m² of living space on a plot of 5,051m², with the option to purchase an equal amount of land from the adjacent building plot, as well as the possibility of extending to the rear into the meadow.
In terms of technical features, the property has a central vacuum system, water-based underfloor heating with a heat pump, and a water softener. The house is 'brand new', energy-rated A
What appealed to me: the tranquillity of the place, the unobstructed view, the spaciousness and the light. The flexibility of the property, too - it is perfectly suited to separating the two wings and running a guesthouse on the side; it could become the ideal family home, with the children on one side and the parents on the other.
My favourite feature: this property harbours a unique treasure - a tea ceremony house built in keeping with the traditions of the genre, currently under construction in the garden - as well as the many tree species carefully selected by the current owners, creating a Zen garden... just 6 minutes from the magnificent bastide town of Monpazier, with its restaurants, shops and craftspeople...
