Architect-designed Perigordian house with pool and views. Dordogne

At the end of a quiet lane in the valley of the five chateaux, this architect-designed, south-facing Perigordian house with swimming pool, entertainment pavilion, mature gardens and expansive views offers superb living in a highly sought-after location

It is a rare treat to find an outstandingly designed house in a highly desirable location and this property is certainly both. From the chateau views to the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor there is much to admire. Most of the living area is to be found on the ground floor and is cleverly split between the main house and an interconnected entertainment pavilion that houses the double garage, large loft, summer kitchen and a covered dining terrace. The large in-ground swimming pool is positioned between the house and entertainment pavilion, making it easy to access from either area, whilst the pretty gardens are mature and easy to maintain.
