Private Fishing Pond and Cabin For Sale in Augignac, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France

A Rare Retreat with Your Own Private Pond

Set within a fully enclosed plot of over one hectare in the peaceful hamlet of Augignac in the northern Dordogne, this charming cabin offers something that is becoming increasingly hard to find — genuine seclusion, unspoiled nature, and your very own private fishing pond. The cabin itself measures approximately 33 square metres, arranged across two rooms, and is perfectly functional as a weekend escape or seasonal retreat. Crucially, a building permit has already been granted for an extension of a further 32 square metres, meaning that anyone with a vision for a more permanent or spacious home has a clear and approved path forward. The property is powered by solar panels with battery storage, giving it a strong degree of energy autonomy, and a water meter is already installed on site. A connection to the main electricity grid is also possible, should you prefer the security of mains power.

The Pond — Your Own Fishing Paradise

At the heart of this property is a beautiful private pond of approximately 2,500 square metres — a real jewel for anyone who loves fishing, wildlife or simply the meditative calm of water in a natural setting. Surrounded by mature trees and open meadow, the pond creates a stunning focal point for the land and offers all the ingredients for memorable days spent lakeside. Whether you envision early morning sessions casting a line as mist rises from the water, or lazy summer afternoons watching dragonflies skim the surface, this pond delivers an experience that simply cannot be replicated. The combination of enclosed land, mixed woodland and open meadow also makes this an exceptional spot for birdwatching, foraging for mushrooms in season, and reconnecting with the rhythm of the natural world.

The Périgord Vert — France’s Green and Verdant Heart

The Périgord Vert, or Green Périgord, takes its name from the lush landscape that defines this northern pocket of the Dordogne. Rolling hills, dense oak forests, winding rivers and wide-open meadows create a countryside that feels genuinely unspoiled — a world away from the tourist trails of the more well-known Dordogne valley to the south. The village of Augignac sits quietly within this landscape, offering that authentic sense of rural French life that so many people seek but so few manage to find. Local markets, traditional cuisine featuring the finest regional produce, and a warmth of community that defines the southwest French way of living are all part of the appeal here. Despite its peaceful character, the area is not isolated — local amenities are just 6 kilometres away, and the broader infrastructure of the Dordogne is within easy reach.

An Ideal Second Home, Fishing Retreat or Development Opportunity

Whether you are searching for a peaceful fishing retreat, a nature lover’s weekend escape, or a longer-term project to develop into something more substantial, this property ticks every box. The existing planning permission for an extension adds genuine flexibility and value. The solar-powered energy system means running costs are low and the environmental footprint is minimal. And with land, water and woodland all in one package at a price point of just €110,000, this represents exceptional value in one of the most beautiful and authentic corners of southwest France. Properties like this — private, peaceful, with their own water — are rare. They do not stay on the market for long.
