Aquitaine, Dordogne, Montpon-Ménestérol, France

Ref. JCS1056 - Following a long driveway lined with tall trees, we arrive at a wrought iron gate. This gate opens onto a gravelled courtyard, beautifully laid out for relaxation areas.
At the end of this courtyard stands a magnificent stone mansion house of approx. 450 m² (4,967 sq ft) and its outbuildings of approx. 260 m² (2,022 sq ft). Built in the 19th century, it offers wonderful features. The numerous openings in each room make the rooms very luminous; the high ceilings give them volume; the solid floor and the wooden beams make them warm.
From the entrance, a wide corridor crosses the building from one end to the other, and opens onto a balcony, with a small enclosed garden below. On the right-hand side of the corridor, a room with a marble fireplace has been converted into a study. At the end of the hallway is a bedroom and, in between, a bathroom with toilet.
To the left of the corridor is a large room of approx. 60 m², consisting of a living room with fireplace and a dining room. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a shower room with toilet and a dressing room.
Parallel to this room is a room of the same size. It consists of a modern fitted kitchen and a lounge. The walls are of stone and exposed stone. A cupboard with period wooden doors is built into one of the walls. There is also a small staircase leading down to the cellar.
To the side of the kitchen, a small corridor leads to the outbuildings. There are two outbuildings, each with its own entrance to the courtyard and separated by a workshop.
The first one has two rooms in a row: a large living room with a library, a bedroom and a bathroom with bath, shower and toilet.
The second has two rooms in a row: a large bedroom, a living room with fireplace and kitchenette, a shower room with shower and toilet.
A garage and a carport are in the extension of these two outbuildings.
This property is ideal for large families who like the countryside and peace and quiet. Nestled in the heart of a 1,7ha park with a 12x6 m heated salt water swimming pool, it is an ideal place to develop any kind of activity such as a guest house, gites, B&B...
It also has a private island of 3,000 m² on the Isle river, a small sub-tributary of the Dordogne that runs at the end of the park.
Located on the edge of the Libournais region, it is approximately equal distance from Bordeaux and Périgueux, close to all shops and amenities.
