Uniquely situated private nature reserve comprising large main house, outbuildings and pool around a natural rock courtyard and surrounded on three sides by a 10 acre natural spring water lake, stream, private access road, all set in around 217 acres of grounds with substantial development potential in the north of the Dordogne.

This lovely estate offers around 217 acres of fields and woodland where deer and wild boar wander, and where truffles and several different kinds of wild orchids among other rare wild flowers are abundant. The lake has around 7 varieties of fish including fresh water crayfish.

Access to the property is from a private road lined in part with cliffs. The main entrance to the property is over the stream on a bridge leading into the courtyard.

As well as being an outstanding opportunity to acquire as a private residence in one of the most sought after areas in France, this property has enormous potential for a number of tourism projects and which the current owner has already explored in some depth.

In co-operation with the local authorities, a number of detailed feasibility studies and business plans have been carried out and for which the local authorities have indicated the possibility of providing considerable financial aid for a tourist development project.

Such projects include a complete holiday village with villas, apartments, a hotel with restaurant, function rooms, seminar centre, spa, equestrian centre, tennis courts, bars, a pub and an additional swimming pool on the lakeside.

For potential buyers able to undertake such a project we are authorised, in certain circumstances, to provide access to this proprietary information either on or subsequent to a visit.

Certain assets belonging to the owner including a Licence IV for the sale of alcoholic beverages, are for sale by separate negotiation.
