An Exceptional Estate in the Heart of the Dordogne
Rarely does a property come to market that offers this combination of scale, flexibility, and natural beauty at such a compelling price. Set on 1.75 fully fenced hectares of tranquil Dordogne countryside, this estate centres on a bright and beautifully proportioned 250 m² farmhouse featuring three generous bedrooms, character period features, and the floor plan flexibility to accommodate up to four additional en-suite bedrooms. Whether you envision a large family home, a boutique guesthouse, or a high-end rural retreat, the bones of this property are perfectly suited to your ambitions. Central heating, air conditioning, fibre internet, mains services, and off-street parking ensure that comfort and practicality are never compromised.
Your Own Private Lake — and a 300m² Hangar Ready to Transform
At the heart of this estate lies its most extraordinary feature: a beautiful, peaceful private lake surrounded by mature trees and open countryside. Whether you dream of peaceful early-morning fishing sessions, a lakeside glamping venture, or simply the incomparable pleasure of having water that is entirely your own, this lake delivers. Complementing the lake is a vast 300 m² hangar for which planning permission has already been granted to convert into guest accommodation, holiday gîtes, or any number of tourism-related uses. This is an incredibly rare advantage — the groundwork for a thriving rural business has already been laid, saving you time, money, and uncertainty.
A Region Celebrated for its Beauty and Charm
The Dordogne is one of France’s most beloved regions, renowned for its medieval villages, golden limestone architecture, world-class gastronomy, and rivers winding through ancient wooded valleys. This estate sits within easy reach of all that the region has to offer — from the markets of Périgueux to the prehistoric cave art of the Vézère Valley — while remaining a genuinely peaceful rural retreat. The area attracts visitors from across Europe year-round, making it an ideal location for tourism-based ventures, and its reputation for quality of life makes it equally appealing as a permanent or semi-permanent residence.
Lifestyle, Investment, and Endless Possibility
Properties like this — combining a substantial private residence, a landmark outbuilding with planning consent, a private lake, and significant land, all within 35 minutes of an international airport — are exceptionally hard to find at any price, let alone at €259,000. Whether you are looking to create a lakeside fishing holiday business, a luxury eco-retreat, a family estate with income potential, or simply a private sanctuary far from the pressures of modern life, this Dordogne estate is a canvas of extraordinary potential. With fibre broadband, mains services, and excellent road access, the practicalities are already in place — all that’s needed is your vision.
