Description:

Dadinou "A Haven of Peace in the Heart of Perigord"

This handsome property, originally a very old barn, has been renovated into a charming and comfortable large home on 100 acres of its own park and woodlands. The property is perched on a plateau with beautiful views across to the Château at Fleurac, about 5 kms away. All the renowned historical sites and Périgordine châteaux are within easy reach as well as some of the best restaurants in the area. Providing of course, that you can tear yourself away from the garden, pool and tennis court. The area is ideal for relaxing, visiting the local villages and markets, wine tasting, nature treks, cycling, canoeing and bird watching.

In the Main House, the entire ground floor is a large open-floor-plan space with stone walls, stone tiled floors and original exposed beams. The kitchen is separated from the dining area and living room by hearty vertical beams. The well equipped kitchen with pale blue farm style decor has an adjoining larder (utility room) with storage and a large American fridge/freezer. The dining area has a traditional large Périgordine table and chairs.

The charming sitting area is comfortably furnished with pale lemon sofas and armchairs gathered around the traditional stone fireplace. Furnishings, pictures and drapes all add to the warmth of this lovely room.There is also a powder room (WC) and cloakroom on this ground floor level. Double doors open from sitting, dining and kitchen onto the paved patio in front of the swimming pool.

A wooden staircase leads up to four bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The 2nd bedroom (with a double bed) and 3rd bedroom (with two twin beds) share a bathroom. The 4th bedroom has two twin beds. This floor also has a mezzanine reading area with a day bed and a tower room study with TV. All bedrooms have been very prettily decorated and have individual country style furniture painted in pastel hues.

To one side of the Main House there is a separate stone Cottage which is completely self contained with open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room, two double bedrooms and two bath &/or shower rooms. In common with the Main House the decor in the Cottage has been carried out with en eye to detail and has retained exposed stonework in some of the rooms.

Outside the gardens are beautifully tended with a very large area laid to lawn around and close to the swimming pool and there is a wealth of mature trees. The tennis court is set to one side of the grounds, close to the cottage. There is also a Petanque court.

Dadinou is a charming property, full of character and set in a delightfully peaceful location yet close to the many historic sites of the Périgord. There is a large pool (15x30') / tennis court / Petanque court and extensive grounds with fields and woods with paths for walking and mountain biking.

Dadinou is located in the heart of the Dordogne region of southwest France, 10 minutes from the village of Les Eyzies, the center of prehistory where Cro-Magnon man was discovered.
