Aquitaine, Dordogne, Lanquais, France

Beautiful and spacious architect-designed property set in over an acre of landscaped grounds with pool in an elevated position with commanding panoramic views across the surrounding countryside near Lanquais in the Dordogne.

This exceptional detached stone residence was built to an exacting bespoke specification in 2004 and combines the character and timeless appeal of a traditional stone manoire with the comfort and efficiency of modern construction.

Crafted using high-quality materials throughout, it offers approximately 450 m2 of elegant living space, where generous proportions, abundant natural light and refined finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury.

Versatile Living Spaces:

One of the property's greatest strengths is its adaptable layout. The house has been thoughtfully designed so that it can function either as an impressive four-bedroom family home or as a principal residence with a beautifully appointed self-contained guest apartment, depending on the owner's needs.

Internal connecting doors allow both areas to be seamlessly integrated or enjoyed independently.

The main residence opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with guest wc, leading to a summer kitchen and utility room.

This level also accommodates a magnificent principal suite with a private bathroom, together with a further double bedroom, also benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom.

At the heart of the home, the first floor showcases a spectacular cathedral-style living space, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. This impressive open-plan area seamlessly incorporates a fully equipped kitchen, an elegant dining area and a comfortable sitting room centred around a wood-burning stove.

Above, a charming mezzanine provides a distinctive and versatile additional living space.

The adjoining apartment extends the accommodation beautifully. Measuring approximately 150 m2, it offers a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opening onto a private balcony with stairs leading to the pool terrace, together with two generous bedrooms, each with its own shower room.

While perfectly suited to welcoming family and friends in complete comfort, the apartment is internally connected to the main house, allowing the property to become one substantial four-bedroom residence whenever desired.

Gardens & Outdoor Living:

The grounds have been meticulously landscaped, with mature trees and established gardens creating a tranquil and private setting.

A magnificent heated infinity pool (17m x 5m), featuring a reinforced liner and saltwater treatment system, forms the centrepiece of the outdoor living space.

Surrounding terraces provide ample areas for relaxation and al fresco dining, while an elevated covered terrace offers a particularly enchanting vantage point from which to enjoy the spectacular views.

Further enhancing the property's appeal is an energy-efficient geothermal heat pump system, ensuring year-round comfort with excellent environmental credentials.

Location:

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property enjoys convenient access to Bergerac, with its international airport, extensive amenities, charming cafes, restaurants and vibrant local markets, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

This exceptional property offers the rare combination of elegant architecture, spectacular views and outstanding versatility, making it equally suited as a luxurious permanent residence, a multi-generational family home or a home with independent guest accommodation.
