Oh wow, stunning property!  So very typical of the region....  A beautiful house with a 'maison d'amis', guest house and some lovely features such as the old bread oven and wine cave....  Very quiet location, near to the superb little village of Carlux in the Dordogne.

As you arrive along the small quiet lane that leads you to just this property, you just know it is gong to be something quite special...  The lovely bushes and well kept gardens and then you see the property.  A beautiful well kept house that has a lovely homely feel about it.  

To the front of the main house there is a terraced area in front of the kitchen. Perfect to enjoy the views over the sloping garden to the front.  Inside we step into the kitchen.  

The lounge has a fireplace.

Upstairs we find the three bedrooms.  Slightly dated decor but you can feel the quality of this property.  A slight step up into the bathroom in the tower gives this one some more character and charm together with the lovely exposed beams.

Next to the main house, joined by an archway where you can also access the rear garden, is where you enter into the old vaulted wine cave.  Impress your friends!

Opposite the main house is the 'maison d'amis'.  A large room where guest could comfortably stay.  The tidiest attic space I think I have ever seen in an old French property could also be used if further habitable space required.    

Next to this is the old bread oven.  I know how you all like to see the old features that are so taken for granted here, so I took a photo of the interior for you!  

The garden is lovely.  Huge and has very interesting parts to it.  The views around are of the countryside and the gardens.

My view:  A beautiful property.  If you are looking for something a little special..  near to a beautiful village, then this one should be on the shortlist.

A lovely spacious 'plain pied' between Goudon and Sarlat!

Ref:  3421g

Price:  282.000€ (agency fee included)


Situated in a residential area of very nice properties and surrounded by 3000m² of garden is where we find this really spacious property, in between Gourdon and Sarlat in the Dordogne.  Just five minutes from a village with small commerce and fifteen minutes from the town of Gourdon.

Very nice to walk into such a nicely presented house - and wait to see the bathroom - yippee!  Light, bright and large for once!

*3 Bedrooms

*2 Bathrooms

*Kitchen/dining room

*Lounge

*Office

*Men's room!  (because it has a bar!)

*Utility room (women's room!)

*Possible house 2!  Large independent building of 50m²

*Double glazed

*Central heating

*Garage

All on one floor, this really is a practical property for easy living.  The layout is great and the rooms spacious.  The kitchen is combined with the dining room.  Lovely hand made units.

The lounge rooms opens up onto the garden...  and what a neat well kept garden it is!  

The bedrooms are all good sizes.  One having bathroom en-suite and dressing room.  As I said before - how nice to have such a roomy bathroom for once and it is white...  (not blue, pink or avocado green!)

An office for quiet times...

Yes we had a little laugh whilst taking a look at the property for the first time.  There is a separate room, the guys thought is was cool and deemed it to be for the boys - just because it had a bar!  Next we passed into the huge utility room and yes, they said this room was for us girls.  So shallow my male colleagues!

Outside:  This property is built on a huge flat parcel of land.  So much better for easy gardening.  Nice terraced areas for outside dining.  A huge stretch of lawn to the rear with a backdrop of several different kinds of fruit trees.  Jean-Michel here helping himself to a peach!  

To the rear of the garden, there is an independent building of 50m².  Useful storage or it could be transformed very easily into a small living accommodation for visiting friends.....

My view:  Very nice property.  Substantial size and fantastic large garden.  The peaches were nice too ;)

A very pretty house - near to Gourdon!

Ref:  3433g

Price:  259.000€ (agency fee included)


What a delight to visit!  Very pretty and charming house situated in a countryside village type location with small commerce nearby and a superb lake.  Just five minutes from the town of Gourdon in the LOT, South West France.  An interesting and house, with its lovely original features, exposed stonework and beams...  yes a real homely feel about this one.

The property sits quite high up and so you have nice countryside, green views especially from the lovely terrace...

*Kitchen/dining room 

*3 Bedrooms

*Office

*Lounge

*Bathroom

*Huge basement (could be made into an apartment)

*Garage

*Garden1352m²

The kitchen is a corner type kitchen ...  the room has a nice feature where the old stone sink used to be.  This is a spacious room and is certainly the hub of this household.  In fact they live in this room during the day I think! 

As they live in the kitchen the lounge room is hardly used but this again is a good size room of 33m².

There are three bedrooms in total and a good bathroom.

An office....

Under the house, there is a huge basement.  Presently used to store a boat!  I thought this was a great space.  Could easily be transformed into an apartment ....unless of course you have a boat too!

Outside, the garden surrounds the house.  The fabulous stonework is striking and makes this property just so lovely and it's so typical of the region.  There is a great little private seating area and a beautiful little stone built   kind of shed in the garden - formerly for pigeons but a fantastic little interesting feature and posh home for your garden implements!

My view:  Very nice.  If you are looking for something typical of the region - this has to be on the shortlist!
