Aquitaine, Dordogne, Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, France

Beautifully restored 6 bedroom Manor House with separate 3 bedroom guest house and 2 bedroom apartment, nestling in over 11.5 acres of glorious land with mature gardens and expansive pool, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location in

Le Buisson de Cadouin.

This authentic property is situated within walking distance to local amenities.

Enter through the original doors into a wide and welcoming hall, large enough to hold a dinner party in. From here, doors lead to the large and spacious 41m2 living room with high beamed ceilings and double doors that open onto the gardens, and further internal doors leading to the 30m2 second living room beyond boasting a feature fireplace and more French doors to the garden.

Beyond this is the 37m2 dining room, again with a feature fireplace, terracotta stone flooring and beautiful beamed ceilings. The kitchen is more modern with built in appliances, a larder beyond this and boiler equipment room. Further down the hall there is a ground floor bedroom "currently used as a study" one of many with an adjoining bathroom and separate WC and more French doors leading into the garden.

Furthermore, on the ground floor is a useful laundry room and guest WC.

On the second floor the property offers five more double bedrooms; one of which has a private living room area, all have their own private bathrooms and two offer feature grand fireplaces, and high ceilings with beams.

Above this on the second floor there is a vast and un-renovated attic, it is very possible to add another staircase and create more habitable space replicating the floor area below (all subject to necessary permissions).

The second house, formally the old tobacco barn, offers a further 187m2 of additional living space, currently run as a gite (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration); having its own entrance, breakfast kitchen, and living-dining areas, and three bedrooms spread across the ground and first floors.

The living room is very spacious. It has a feature stone fireplace, a vaulted ceiling with mezzanine games room above and doors lead to a private terrace area, again featuring those beautiful views and access to the in-ground, saltwater swimming pool set just beyond.

Furthermore, there is an attached two-bedroom apartment, it also offers a raised private terrace and entrance into a pretty open-plan kitchen-living room with a hallway off leading to the shared bathroom, separate WC and bedrooms.

Outside, the property offers stone shingled sun-soaked terraces, a pigeoneer, an original bread oven, carport all within these authentic wooden store buildings and very suitable for garden storage; part of which offers a pretty covered terrace, interlaced with wisteria and vines and just perfect for eating alfresco on balmy summer evenings.

All the properties have been lovingly restored using traditional materials with meticulous attention to detail, this is evident in every aspect. What a super opportunity to own an authentic French mansion set in an amazing location nestled amongst the best of France's beaux villages and just 20 minutes to Sarlat.

Perfectly grand for large events, artist retreats, multigenerational living or even a chambre d'hotes perhaps, so many possibilities of earning an income whilst living the French dream.
