This exceptional property represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional villa in one of the most beautiful locations in France. Whether as a main residence or a holiday home, this villa combines comfort, prestige and a privileged location, ideal for welcoming family and friends. After buying the land from the Duchess of La Rochefoucauld (Dame de Saussignac), Jean Vigier, Royal Judge of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, had a château built in 1597. The most beautiful building on the property is certainly the 17th-century dovecote. It was Jean Vigier's daughter Marguerite who took advantage of the Lord of Saussignac's absence to order its construction without prior authorisation. On his return, the Lord was very unhappy and took the matter to court. Fortunately, Marguerite won her case and the dovecote remained intact. Château des Vigiers belonged to the Vigier family until the French Revolution. It then passed through a succession of owners until a group of Swedish friends bought it and restored it to its original splendour. While on holiday in the region, Elisabeth and Lars Urban Petersson, both Swedish, fell in love with Périgord. Lars Urban Petersson realised that the region was extremely rich in terms of culture, history, vineyards, gastronomy and climate. With a few friends (all Harvard Business School graduates), they decided to create a top-of-the-range estate including hotels, golf and real estate. Donald Steel, considered to be one of the greatest architects of 'natural' golf courses, was chosen to create the golf course at Château des Vigiers. Located in one of the most prestigious areas of « Périgord Pourpre » region, this villa will delight you with its top-of-the-range features, ideal for golf and gastronomy lovers. Nestling on the edge of a fairway, this house benefits from exceptional exposure, offering plenty of natural light thanks to many windows. Its quality fixtures and fittings ensure modern comfort, including underfloor heating, air conditioning in the bedrooms, a swimming pool and a sauna. In addition, the sale includes an international gaming right for the family, conferring numerous advantages for spa, tennis courts, facilitated golf bookings, as well as preferential rates in the on-site restaurants. This traditionally-built villa, with its canal tile roof and rendered walls, is built over two levels and offers 260 sqm of living space. The distribution is as follows: -Ground floor: a large entrance hall with cupboard, a guest WC, a superb 42 sqm living room with high ceilings, adorned with a perfectly restored 16th century stone fireplace, a dining room with wood-burning stove, opening onto a modern, fully-equipped kitchen, and a storeroom, kitchen and a pantry. The main rooms have windows that let in the sunlight from sunrise to sunset with two terraces ideal for family meals while admiring the golf course.
