Charismatic stone house with 5 en suite bedrooms, previously run as a successful bed & breakfast, the house and location lend itself to a lucrative tourism business (subject to necessary permissions). There is also an independent or integrated (as you wish) two-bedroom guest annexe/owners accommodation.

There is a stunning adjacent barn which needs the roof replacing. Unusually for a barn it has lots of ‘windows’.

The flat mature garden is large enough for a swimming pool (subject to necessary permissions).

The situation of this house is amazing, it is on the main Dordogne valley road and is surrounded by chateaux – Beynac, Fayrac, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Milandes. The Dordogne river is within walking distance.

So it seems too good to be true I hear you say – well there is a compromise – the deviation of Beynac is, if the project is accepted, going to pass by the back of the house. The project is not just a road though, it includes a green route for bikes and pedestrians and it will be, as much as possible, tastefully and respectfully integrated into this hugely protected environment. In addition, everything about the house faces the other way and if you’re looking for tourist revenue, this access project can only be a bonus.

The price of the property has been set accepting that the deviation represents an unknown quantity but I really would not let this put you off viewing this gem, which once the uncertainty is overcome will most likely rise in value.
