A 16th-century seigneurial house with a tree-dotted garden and a clear view of its bucolic surroundings, nestled in a village in France’s Corrèze department. Once you have gone through the medieval village’s alleys and squares, you reach its south edge where the towering 12th-century Saint-Pierre church stands. The property lies opposite this church. The Château de Vassinhac stands nearby too. This edifice dates back to the 15th century and is listed as a historical monument. The family to whom the seigneurial house currently belongs also owns this chateau. Outbuildings once separated the two edifices, but they were destroyed in the 19th century. From the road, a wrought-iron gate leads into the property. This entrance gate is framed between two pillars. Low walls adjoin the pillars and enclose the house and its garden, separating the property from the road and giving it privacy. Another gate leads in from the lane on the east side and takes you into a large area where several vehicles can be parked discreetly in the shade of trees. The house has a garden-level floor, a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in its roof space. The dwelling forms an L shape and is made up of two sections with solid bases. The seigneurial majesty of this fine edifice finds expression in its tall elevations of exposed red sandstone that characterises the whole village, in its large windows with small square panes, and in its sculpted surrounds and lintels. An imposing hipped slate roof crowns the house. Lichen has grown on it over time, giving the roof a certain tint. Two monumental three-level chimney stacks of red sandstone rise up from the roof on its east and north sides. And shed dormers punctuate the tall roof harmoniously. On the south side, a stone staircase takes you up to a terrace. From this terrace, French windows lead straight into the house’s raised ground floor. You can look down at the home’s landscaped garden from up here too and gaze beyond it at a vast meadow edged with a building and hedges that stretch towards the surrounding hills.

An 18th century presbytery, garden and swimming pool in a small peaceful village between Haut Quercy and Corrèze. Built on a steep slope in a commanding position over the village, the generously proportioned presbytery is a jewel of Correze architecture dating back to 1764. Nestling in a green setting, it is flanked by terraces that insulate it from any noise. The church is opposite, on the other side of a small square with an obelisk-shaped war memorial. There is a view of the old castle, as was typical in villages of yesteryear, where the two powers, both religious and mortal shared the same space. This was provided, however, that there was a large enough community to support the parish priest. This was clearly the case here, where the presbytery, a symbol of religious power, dominates the mortal power from all its height, as is reinforced by the impressive dimensions of its roof, which was completely refitted recently and which is still under a ten-year guarantee. This is a huge advantage for any buyer who will have to manage such a large roof area in the future. Probably originally built in an opus incertum manner and plastered to give it a more noble appearance, the facade is now covered with a huge Virginia creeper, emphasising the impression that the entire building is part of the surrounding nature. The house is accessed via two terraced gardens with a path leading up to them. The lower garden opens onto a grassy esplanade, while the upper garden, which has more trees and plants, must have once had a vegetable garden and the parish priest's garden, and which are just waiting to see better days again. To enter we pass through a single-leaf gate with a modest, low wrought-iron base. As visitors go through they will be sure to want to ring the bell hanging from the ancient metal belfry, which is just crying out to be rung. The path branches off to the right and leads to the swimming pool.
