Built in the 1970’s, the property stands out for its distinctive turret, elegant façades and balanced proportions.

Interior Living Space – Light, Height & Volume :

The house provides 170 sqm of habitable space, yet the true feeling of volume extends far beyond this figure thanks to impressive ceiling heights and the additional usable areas (typical of slopped roof houses in Dordogne) that bring the overall footprint to approximately 225 sqm.

Upstairs, reached via the striking designer spiral staircase within the turret, a bright mezzanine of over 40 sqm, with picture windows to take advantage of the stunning countryside views . This versatile space works equally well as a home cinema, games room, additional lounge, office and has huge potential for extra sleeping accommodation.

The master suite occupies the upper level in elegant mansard style and includes a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining bathroom with Italian shower, bathtub and WC, creating a private retreat within the home.

A full basement of around 100 sqm significantly enhances the property’s usability and long-term value. It currently includes a 2 cars garage, laundry room and workshop, with ample scope develop into space of your choice..
