luxury farmhouses with pool for sale Aquitaine, France

A renovated former farmhouse, guest house, outbuildings and swimming pool surrounded by 16 5 hectares of grounds and woodland to the north of Sarlat in the Périgord Noir. Situated away from a hamlet, the property, consisting of a single piece of land, stretches over a green plateau, surrounded by protective woods that follow the slope down to the valley. There is a secure electric entry gate at the end of a tarmac cul-de-sac. Under a half-hipped gable roof covered in Roman tiles, the house has two storeys with attic space, and is built of exposed yellow limestone rubble with lime pointing. The crowning of the walls, which kept the run-off away before the gutters were installed, is made of overhanging slate. On the north facade, two French windows are protected by a wrought-iron canopy. The south-facing facade is adjoined by a light-filled conservatory, leading to the flower-filled garden and a swimming pool protected from prying eyes. The main house is surrounded by outbuildings that have been renovated, forming a courtyard that opens out in all directions. The grounds, dotted with mature trees and shrubs, is divided into different areas of gardens and meadows, with a pond below.

A 16th-century hamlet in need of a renovation, with a swimming pool, 23 hectares of grounds including 4 hectares of vineyards, overlooking the Garonne valley between Bordeaux and Toulouse. On a plateau overlooking the Garonne and Albret valleys, past several villas built on either side of a municipal road, a final property stands at the edge of a village, which can be reached via a driveway bordered by cedar trees. Surveying the surrounding landscape, it seems to be cut off from the outside world, sufficiently distanced from its neighbours to avoid all disturbances, both visual and auditory, while still remaining in proximity to the village. Nestled within its grounds, which include flower-filled pastures, fields and vineyards draped on the hillsides as well as woods below, only a faint buzzing sound can be heard from the motorway, which traverses the centre of the northern side of the valley. A gravel drive runs alongside a square dovecote and its patio before arriving in front of the U-shaped main building edified in 1536. At that time called “the chateau of Pelon”, at some point between the 17th and 19th centuries it became a noble house owned by the Espalangue family, a member of the court of Henri II, King of Navarre. Built out of stone over two levels and topped with a barrel tile roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel, the house is arranged around a gravel courtyard punctuated with an ancient cedar tree. To the south, a square turret abuts the central main building with a floor area of approximately 385 m². The east wing, which houses the former village stove, and most likely flanked by a mill at one point, could easily be connected to the current dwelling. Combined with the 360° panoramic view, the creation of new windows, which are currently small in size and low in number, could provide additional light for the building and make it possible to take advantage of its different perspectives throughout the day. At a distance from the main dwelling, on the other side of the gravel courtyard, a guesthouse, a former Gascon farmhouse in need of renovation, is located not far from the 6 x 18-metre swimming pool and a vegetable garden with chicken coop, while a second driveway ensures this building’s independence if needed. Scattered throughout the property are three wells, an undeniable asset.
