Bergerac

Set in a peaceful hamlet along the banks of the River Dordogne, this exceptional 18th-century stone Manor House, together with its charming guardian’s house, offers around 600 m² of elegantly restored living space. Steeped in history dating back to circa 1790, the estate has been carefully renovated to preserve its period character while introducing refined modern comforts—making it an outstanding choice as a luxurious private residence, a thriving B&B, or a whole-house holiday rental.

Inside, the Manor showcases an abundance of original features: soaring ceilings, exposed beams, intricate stonework, impressive fireplaces, and marble floors that echo its grand past. Recent restorations include a contemporary, fully equipped kitchen and beautifully appointed bathrooms fitted with top-quality appliances and fixtures, blending tradition with modern-day elegance.

The estate unfolds across nearly 2 acres of mature landscaped grounds, shaded by centuries-old trees and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A magnificent pool with a waterfall feature forms the centre pièce of the garden, accompanied by sun terraces and intimate seating areas scattered throughout the park. Whether enjoying a morning coffee beneath the trees, an evening aperitif on one of the terraces, or a lively game on the pétanque court, every corner invites moments of pleasure and tranquility.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of such grandeur and versatility in the Dordogne—a residence that not only celebrates its illustrious past but also offers a beautiful lifestyle and promising future.
