If you’re looking for an easy-to-manage home in the countryside, but don’t want to feel completely isolated, this could be just the place.

Set in over 10 hectares of fields and woodland, this beautifully renovated stone house offers single-storey living, an excellent A/A energy rating and complete privacy, yet you can still walk to the local restaurant and bar for lunch or an evening drink.

The house has a relaxed, comfortable feel throughout. There are four bedrooms, two modern shower rooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining room flowing into the sitting room, and a separate utility room. At the front, the formal garden has neat box hedging, mature wisteria and gravel paths, creating an attractive, low-maintenance setting. Behind the house, the land opens out into fields and woodland, giving you all the space you could want for a few horses, animals, or simply the pleasure of knowing it’s yours.

The swimming pool sits just below the terrace, making it an easy place to spend long summer afternoons, while the separate one-bedroom apartment is ideal for visiting family and friends or for generating a little extra income when you’re not using it (subject to permissions).

The outbuildings are what really set this property apart. The huge stone barn offers an incredible amount of space, whether you need a workshop, storage, somewhere to indulge a hobby, or even a studio. Add to that the stables, the open-fronted stone barn and the small stone cottage waiting to be brought back to life, and there’s plenty of scope to make the property your own without needing to extend the house.

Despite the peaceful setting, you’re not cut off. Everyday shopping is just 6km away, Gourdon is around 20 minutes by car and Sarlat around 30 minutes.

If you’re looking for a home where life can slow down a little, with room for hobbies, animals, visiting family and long lunches at the local restaurant, this is well worth a look.
