Magnifique Manoir Au Cœur Du Périgord Noir

An authentic and historic property set in the countryside of the Golden Triangle of Perigord Noir around 10kms from Sarlat-La-Canada.

The property entrance is through a gateway into a stunning courtyard including the main house, dating back to the 15th Century and other buildings including a guest annexe, and caretaker’s cottage, a reception room thought to date back to the 13th Century and two open barns or loggias, one of which has its own fireplace. Some of the buildings have the traditional lauze stone roofing of the area.

The main stone house has a pretty kitchen with range cooker, a sizeable living/dining room with huge working fireplace and large windows bringing in lots of light. Doors lead out to the terrace and the swimming pool (12 x 5m). There is a downstairs bedroom with shower room next door. The ancient stone stairs lead up to two further bedrooms, another shower room and a stunning master suite, with gorgeous fireplace and large en suite bathroom. There is an intriguing stone spiral staircase from the bathroom that leads up to the tower room where the famous French novelist Robert Merle used to write.

The guest annexe is around 115sqm and has a pretty living dining area opening onto the courtyard, a small kitchen, 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom, perfect for friends and family or even to rent out as a gite (subject to necessary permissions). The gorgeous caretaker’s cottage is 60sqm and has a living dining area, fitted kitchen, shower room and 2 bedrooms. It also opens onto the courtyard.

Stone steps lead up from the courtyard to a tower with a studio at the top. The bottom of the tower gathers rainwater in a tank which is used to irrigate the garden. The gorgeous reception room with its original inglenook fireplace also has a small terrace, perfect for an apéro. Other areas include a wood store and wine cellar, and laundry room, workshop, garages and boiler room.

The gardens are made up of 2.9 hectares of park with mature specimen trees, an orchard, vegetable garden and woodland.

This is a unique property that could equally suit a large family with frequent visitors, or potentially as a main house and two gites (subject to necessary permissions). Let your imagination run wild!
