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.

The property sits on approximately three hectares of land. Restored in 2004 (with new wiring and plumbing) this property is a comfortable home for year-round residence.

In the heart of Les Landes…a short drive from Saint Sever This fine property is located in a popular area of the Aquitaine region, in the heart of Les Landes with the gorgeous village of Saint Sever just a short drive away, the Atlantic Ocean just an hour’s drive from the property and the Pyrenees mountains 90 minutes away. For anyone who does not yet know the village of Saint Sever, it is certainly worth a trip, and after a delicious lunch on a terrace café and a stroll around the gorgeous village and church square, we were already in love with the immediate area, before beginning a tour of the property! The property is located at the end of a private alley, in a leafy and tranquil position. The approach to the property is entirely private and our first views of the property are impressive; with the main body of the manor house and its adjacent tower forming a gorgeous ensemble. This gentilhommière is situated in the middle of a plot in landscaped gardens, with neatly clipped topiary hedges; and a generous gravelled driveway to the property. To the rear there is the pool, a large covered terrace area and access to the guest annexe and barn. The main house With the ambience of a genteel home, country residence, or gentilhommière, the property is decorated in keeping with the period. There is a relaxed air of refinery and comfort to each room, with gentle colours: 18th century blues, greens, pinks, in the chalk paintwork; original parquet floors, high ceilings, original fireplaces, and staircases. The choice of furniture marries well with the choice of wall paint, so that there is a sense of having stepped back in time. Each room is blessed with tall windows offering views over the topiary gardens; over the tops of ancient trees, and (on the day of our visit) across an azure blue sky dotted with gigantic fluffy clouds on a scorching summer’s day. With original floors, wooden and terracotta and high ceilings this is the perfect property for afficionados of antique furniture, chandeliers, and large pieces of Artwork. With a grand entrance hall, the main house compromises four spacious reception rooms, the largest drawing room being of particular note, with its decorative walnut panelling. The large and spacious kitchen, with its beautiful terra-cotta floor, is the heart of the home, and a fantastic space for informal entertaining around the farmhouse table, or for family breakfasts, as well as food preparation for large groups. With a modern central island, a dining-table and a characterful red and black range with four ovens, the kitchen is also a mixture of eclectic antique pieces of furniture painted in sky blue. With doors to the gardens and direct access to the pool, this is a “family” kitchen in every sense of the word, and a lovely informal space in which to gather. The kitchen is yet another lovely light room, with windows down one side, and French doors to let in the sunshine. The main house has 7 functional bedrooms, with two extra guest bedrooms in the guest annexe and 9 WCs. The four bathrooms and three shower rooms, all offer their own style and character, and we particularly love the turquoise-green, gold claw-footed bath tub. The bathrooms are predominantly large and spacious, almost reception rooms in their own right! It is certainly possible to soak away your worries in style in this property, whilst looking out of the tall windows to the gardens. Dress for dinner, in one of the comfortable double bedrooms, and slip down the original staircase for cocktails in one of the spacious drawing rooms, to enjoy a candlelit dinner in the panelled dining room. If ever you dream of living in a sumptuous manor house à la Downton Abbey, but with better weather, this property is certainly worth exploring. The property is not without its secrets, as all old properties should be. We look forward to divulging a hidden treasure behind the walls of one section of the property, for those who come to visit this fabulous home. The guest annexe has a much older feel than the main body of the house, which is predominantly 18th Century in style. Here, we sense the much older origins of the property, with the timbered beams, painted in cheerful blues and utterly Landaise in style. The guest annexe is quirky and medieval in feel, with views to the main house and barn. The owners have requisitioned the top of the barn to makeshift home cinema area, for summer months only, where we find the family cat sleeping in the eaves. Planning permissions permitting, there is a lot of additional space in this property which one could choose to develop. More details and photos are available on our BLISS IMMOBILIER website.

We also find, in continuity of the manor, a second tower with in the lower part a cistern recovering rainwater and at its top accessible by an external stone staircase a small intimate workshop. A little further on, adjoining this part, a room from the 16th century has a magnificent inglenook fireplace, stone corbels on which large beams are supported. On this same wing, a cellar of about fifteen square meters has its place. The opposite wing, in addition to the annexed house, has a covered courtyard with slate roofs, a workshop, a boiler room with storage space and a second cistern integrated into the building. The u-shaped courtyard, which is very protective, is closed off to the south by a covered courtyard, which is also the main entrance to the manor. Below, to the north, the second annex house closes the courtyard. It is like a vast additional room in nature! The total living space is about 500sqm. The 7.16 acres (2.9 hectares) are divided as follows: the part close to the manor constitutes the park with various species such as oaks, cypresses, lime trees, poplars and maples...

Below, more to the North, we find a meadow with a gentle slope which then gives way to a wooded area with large trees. A swimming pool (5x12m) with chlorine completes the ensemble.
