Description:
This charming 300 year old French farm house is situated in the hamlet of St Gregoire. The comfortable house sits amidst a beautiful plum orchard offering lovely views of the rolling countryside. The farm house exudes charm and comfort – combining traditional thick stone walls with a recently renovated open-floor-plan kitchen and living area. The house has a nice mix of family antiques and unique pieces chosen by the artistic owners. The charming living room has matching sofas, facing one another around a coffee table, with a third sofa and arm chairs nearby for convivial gatherings of family and friends.
The house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. All the bedrooms have excellent quality Queen-size beds. Two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are on the second floor up the main staircase. The larger of the two bedrooms also has a twin bed tucked into a corner of the room. The bathroom as a bathtub, wash basin, vanity and toilet. The 3rd bedroom, the Master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, is also on the second floor however it is accessed off a separate stairway leading from a back kitchen – affording a nice sense of privacy and space. This bedroom suite has a small twin bed on a lower level and a Queen bed on a galleried mezzanine level. The ensuite bathroom has a walk-in shower, wash basin, vanity and toilet. The kitchen is well equipped with all the modern conveniences and has ample cookware, dishware and glassware. On the main floor, off the kitchen, there is a 3rd bathroom with a walk-in shower, wash basin, vanity and toilet. The house has a new heating system, a washer & dryer and a small drinks “Extra” fridge off the kitchen.
The house faces East / West offering nice light. There is a spacious, covered outdoor sitting area with sofas and a dining table perfect for al fresco dining; from your morning coffee to an evening glass of wine … or simply relaxing and breathing in the beautiful country air. The property offers an inviting swimming pool surrounded by lawn. The house is well equipped for families with children offering a pack n’ play, crib, highchair and play pen.
The farm house is located just over the Dropt River which is the border between the Dordogne and Lot et Garonne regions of France. The closest town with a boulangerie, supermarket and all the usual shops is Castillonnés. There are many beautiful 11th, 12th and 13th century “Bastide” towns nearby – all which offer local outdoor markets throughout the week, all year round. The house is a 20 minute drive south from the iconic town of Bergerac and about 1hr 30 minutes from Bordeaux. Villeneuve sur Lot is about 20 minutes south. The hi-speed TGV trains stop at Gare Bordeaux St Jean. The hi-speed train from Paris to Bordeaux only takes 2hrs and the local train travels frequently from Bordeaux to Bergerac. There is also car rentals at both train stations in Bordeaux and Bergerac.
Importantly, this region of France is famous for, among many things … its amazing food! Few regions sum up the attractions of France better than the Dordogne. With its rich food, heady history, château-studded countryside and picturesque villages, the Dordogne has long been a favourite getaway for French families on les grandes vacances. Canoeing and Kayaking on the beautiful Dordogne River is a very popular sport. It’s also famous for having some of France’s finest prehistoric cave art, which fill the caverns and rock shelters of the Vézère Valley.
Part of the historic area that was called Aquitaine, its strategic importance through the ages is illustrated by the many bastides (fortified towns) and fortresses throughout. Today it’s known to the French as the Périgord, and is divided into four colour-coded areas: Périgord Pourpre (purple) for the winegrowing regions around Bergerac; Périgord Noir (black) for the dark oak forests around the Vézère Valley and Sarlat-la-Canéda; Périgord Blanc (white) after the limestone hills around the capital, Périgueux; and Périgord Vert (green) for the forested regions of the north.
