Aquitaine, Dordogne, Sarlat-la-Canéda, France

A47830KEF24 - This picturesque Périgord-style stone house enjoys a peaceful rural setting in a pretty hamlet, just 15 minutes from the medieval jewel of Sarlat-la-Canéda. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the beautiful Dordogne landscape and offers privacy and tranquillity in the heart of the sought-after Périgord Noir.

The house offers approximately 125m² of living space, comprising 3 bedrooms, including one conveniently located on the ground floor and two on the first floor, together with 2 bathrooms, one of which is also on the ground floor. The bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is bathed in natural light and features a wood-burning insert.

The ground-floor living space opens directly onto a sunny terrace and private garden. The property is set within 9,987m² of fully enclosed grounds comprising gardens, meadows and mature woodland. A beautiful chestnut staircase is an impressive feature of the entrance hall and adds warmth and character to the interior.

On the first floor, an additional room adjoining one of the bedrooms leads directly onto a private covered terrace with wonderful countryside views towards the nearby lake. With its own independent access via an exterior wooden staircase, this area offers interesting potential to create a separate guest suite, private living space or seasonal rental accommodation.

An additional utility room, accessed independently from outside the house, provides useful storage and separate laundry facilities.

Adjacent to the house is a substantial 63m² garage/workshop, offering excellent storage, workshop space or potential for other uses, subject to any necessary permissions. There is also a garden shed. The surrounding mature woodland is predominantly oak, providing a useful source of firewood for the wood-burning insert currently used to heat the house.

The property is immediately habitable, although some updating would enhance its full potential, including renovation of exterior woodwork around some windows and shutters, attention to the outdoor terraces and the possible installation of an additional heating system alongside the existing wood-burning insert.

With its peaceful setting, extensive grounds and proximity to Sarlat, Lascaux, Les Eyzies and some of the Dordogne Valley’s most celebrated medieval villages, this charming stone property would make an attractive permanent residence, Dordogne holiday home or rural retreat with excellent seasonal rental potential in one of the most sought-after areas of the Périgord Noir and Dordogne Golden Triangle.
