luxury house for sale Gare de Sarlat district of Sarlat-la-caneda, France

EXCLUSIVE LISTING Stunning Dordogne architect’s house offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, infinity pool, and geothermic central heating. The property is situated in a completely preserved site overlooking an undulating valley of trees where only a chateau and church bell tower are visible on the horizon. This modern luxury home was designed with large floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors which flood the interior with natural light whilst giving the experience of living in the landscape. The architectural design was inspired by the traditional tobacco barns typical of the region and blends the building into the surroundings using a series of elongated lines and the colours of the landscape: grey wooden slats and earth red cement walls and terraces. The property includes 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, an open plan living room and kitchen with dining room. The main house connects through a central hallway to a vegetation covered service wing embedded in the hillside with double garage, 2 storage rooms, wine cellar, boiler room and laundry room, and cloak room. The main house offers an entrance hall, an open plan fully equipped kitchen opening on to the dining area and the outdoor terraces on two sides, a large open plan living room with a fireplace and cathedral ceiling, with full French doors opening on to the terrace, with stunning panoramic views over the countryside, giving an indoor-outdoor living feeling. This leads to the master bedroom suite with an ensuite bathroom, access to its private terrace and a study area overlooking the gardens. Stairs lead from the living room to a mezzanine with a lounge area, two bedrooms, a WC and a bathroom with a shower. The fourth bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and full French doors with views over the valley. The property has a state of the art underfloor geothermic heating system and double glazing throughout, providing comfort and economical heating with the very rarely attributed 'A' rating for energy efficient as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The property is entered through an electric wrought iron gate, leading to a wide driveway lined with mature umbrella pines that draws you up to the inner courtyard of the house. In the grounds just over 4 hectares of land there is a stone former mill that has been transformed into a raised seating area to enjoy the views over the valley and the neighbouring château. There is also an infinity swimming pool with a salt system and terraced lounge area. The property sits amongst the popular area of the southern Dordogne, is 5 minutes from the nearest village with shops and conveniences, 50 minutes from Bergerac airport, and 45 minutes from Sarlat. A unique property offering a comfortable and stylish holiday home or permanent residence perfect for enjoying the peace and tranquility and quality of life of the Dordogne.
