Ref. 4342: French house for sale located on a Golf Hotel and Spa estate in the Dordogne
This magnificent property, designed in 2007 by a local architect for the current owners, is located in the south of the Dordogne departement, just a few kilometres from Bergerac, in « Périgord Pourpre » region. It is set in a prestigious international golf hotel estate offering an exceptional living environment. Ideally located, the house offers easy access to all amenities. Bordeaux international airport is just an hour's drive away, while Bergerac airport is 20 minutes away. The town of Bergerac, renowned for its rich historical heritage, picturesque markets and renowned gastronomy, is within easy reach, offering all services and shops you need for everyday life. This exceptional property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful house in one of the most picturesque locations in France. Whether as a main residence or a holiday home, this house combines comfort, prestige and a privileged location, ideal for welcoming family and friends or suitable for rental.
After buying the land that comprises the estate 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 design the golf course at Château des Vigiers.
Located in one of the most prestigious areas of « Périgord Pourpre » region, this property 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 an exceptional position, offering plenty of natural light thanks to many windows. Its quality fixtures and fittings ensure modern comfort, including underfloor heating, reversible air conditioning in the bedrooms, a mosaic tiled swimming pool and a sauna. In addition, the sale includes an International Family Membership of the Golf Club which offers free access to spa, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, the golf course, as well as preferential rates in the on-site restaurants. This traditionally-built house, with its canal tile roof and natural stone and rendered walls, is built over two levels and offers 260 sqm of living space.
