Property Description
Tucked away in a peaceful countryside setting, this beautiful stone home combines timeless character with modern comfort. Its elevated position offers mesmerising views towards a distant hilltop village, while the extensive wrap-around terrace invites relaxed outdoor living from sunrise to sunset.
The main house is light, welcoming and carefully restored, with exposed stone, beams and tiled floors lending warmth throughout. The ground floor flows naturally from a generous kitchen–dining room into a spacious living room with pellet-burner, and a second reception area that can serve as a study or snug. Upstairs, the principal suite includes a dressing room and en-suite shower room, alongside two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. All upstairs windows - and those in the kitchen and lounge - are fitted with fly screens for added summer comfort.
Heating is provided by an efficient wood-pellet boiler installed in 2022, which can be monitored and adjusted remotely - combining eco-efficiency with convenience.
Across a charming courtyard planted with flowers and olive trees lies the converted dovecote, now an independent gîte with its own pellet stove, open-plan living area, ground-floor bedroom and shower room, and a mezzanine bedroom beneath the beams - ideal for guests or seasonal rental.
Beyond the courtyard are over 250 m2 of outbuildings, offering excellent scope to create a superb summer kitchen beside the pool, a studio or hobby room, classic car storage, or even further accommodation (subject to planning).
Nearby stands a further ancient stone outbuilding, thought to date from the 1600s. While now partially collapsed, it adds character and offers an exciting possibility. The owners already hold a modest professional quote to clear and level the area but have chosen not to proceed, preferring to leave the decision to future buyers. Once cleared, the space could easily be transformed into a beautiful walled garden or perhaps a single-storey dwelling, subject to permission.
Outside, the grounds extend to around one hectare, with landscaped gardens, mature trees, well, and a 10 × 5 m swimming pool with solar shower and liner replaced in 2021, perfectly positioned to capture the panoramic views.

Location
Peacefully set amid gently rolling countryside, the property enjoys both privacy and convenience. The nearest village, just 6 minutes (4 km) away, offers a bakery, butcher, café and restaurant for daily essentials.
The lively bastide towns of Duras and Eymet are each around 12 km (12 minutes) away, renowned for their weekly produce markets, summer night events and excellent restaurants. For leisure, the prestigious Château des Vigiers golf and spa resort lies 21 km (23 minutes) away, surrounded by vineyards offering tastings and year-round events.
Bergerac airport is only 36 minutes (36 km), while Bordeaux airport and the vibrant city itself - famous for shopping, culture and the Cité du Vin - are about 1 h 30–1 h 35 (≈110 km). The unesco town of Saint-Émilion is within an hour, and the Atlantic coast can be reached in just over two hours (165 km), with San Sebastián, Spain, around 3 hours 15 minutes away.
For train connections, stations at Marmande (27 min) and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (25 min) provide convenient access to Bordeaux and beyond. Surrounded by historic châteaux, vineyards and picturesque bastide towns, this tranquil location offers the perfect blend of rural beauty and accessibility - ideal for enjoying the best of southwest France.
