Manors for sale Mareuil, France

A seventeenth-century country home with a guesthouse in walled grounds that cover one hectare in a hamlet in France’s Périgord Vert area, near the town of Ribérac. The property looks down over a valley. It lies in the heart of a hamlet and covers roughly one hectare on a hilltop plateau. The country house stands in the middle of grounds that are entirely enclosed with stone walls. The whole building forms a U shape. It is an imposing dwelling from the end of the seventeenth century. Its enclosed inner courtyard has a water tank and a remarkable ago-old lime tree that towers in the centre. A central pavilion stands out on a long dual-aspect section that runs from north to south. This pavilion is crowned with a square dovecote and a mansard slate roof. A carriage archway leads through it into the inner courtyard. This central pavilion lies between two very different L-shaped sections. On the south side of the carriage entrance, there is the main house, which is made up of three parts. One end of the long section with the carriage archway and mansard roof joins the main building at a right angle. This main building has a semibasement, walls that are taller than the rest of the edifice and a roof with a mansard end. At this building’s gable end, there is an older section that also has a semibasement. Monk-and-nun tiling covers its three-slope hipped roof, which is lower than the rest of the house’s roofing. On the opposite side of the inner courtyard, outbuildings stretch from west to east. This wing has been converted into a gîte. A well forms a junction with a barn beneath a mansard roof, which is well balanced with the central pavilion and the main house. English-style grounds dotted with flowers and trees extend all around the edifice. Low dry-stone walls divide the grounds into different spaces that include a swimming pool, an orchard, a terrace and gardens.
