ManorMontpon-Ménestérol (24) Price : $1,655,500
A restored 18th-century country house with a guest dwelling, outbuildings and 6 5 hectares of grounds, nestled between the cities of Périgueux and Bordeaux. From a cul-de-sac near the town centre, an earthen track by a stream takes you through a monumental gate to the property’s different buildings, which stand on both sides of a vast rectangular court. An earthen terrace covering around one hectare looks out over the grounds, which are made up of meadows and woods. The grounds stretch eastwards and southwards up to a small lake. Trees dominate the beautiful view. Treetops underline the sky. A tall stone wall closes the courtyard on its west side. Two gates lead into the court. There is a main entrance gate on the east side. It is framed between two sculpted stone pillars and wrought-iron railings. The secondary entrance is on the north side, between a guesthouse and an industrial-style building. And the traditional country house, with its extensions that protrude slightly, close the courtyard on its south side. An imposing square dovecote stands beside the house. This dovecote is built in exactly the same way as an old dovecote that used to stand here. The traditional country house that you can see here today was probably built upon the foundations of a former fortification that was surrounded by water-filled moats and destroyed in the 16th century by Protestant troops. The edifice is made up of a central section with only a ground floor. This central section is crowned with a two-slope roof of barrel tiles. It is framed between two pavilions, which are taller and each have a first floor. Each pavilion is crowned with a hipped roof of flat tiles. At each end, there is a wing with a mansard roof and arched dormers. Most of the house is made of rubble stone, with ashlar used for the window surrounds and quoins, but the west pavilion’s first floor stands out for its half timbering filled in with flat bricks and pointing.
