Situated in the heart of the countryside, where the only noise is that of the birdsong, this charming stone property, of a traditional Perigordine farm style, is ideal for lovers of nature and peace and quiet.

The covered terrace, the real heart of the house (....where you will no doubt enjoy leisurely meals either in the heat of the day or under the stars!) links the two buildings together where you will find the living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Below the house, the garden and the essential private swimming pool will be just waiting to welcome you on tour return from your daily excursions to the numerous nearby sites. For the comfort of our guests the pool is heated from May to end of September

The property exudes charm and is a lovely example of old world charm and a recent renovation.

EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION:

Despite the fact that the house is charming and comfortable, it is most likely that it will be outside where you will make the most of the Métairie:
* the central covered terrace is equipped with a large dining table, bench and chairs, allowing you to organise happy meals!
A small round wrought iron table and four chairs can be moved around as you wish: to follow the sun or to find the shade...
* the terrace accessible from the kitchen is also equipped with a table and chairs for al fresco dining.
* And not forgetting the little covered terrace, ideally suited for sheltering the children from the heat of the afternoon sun, where they can draw or play in peace!
* Without doubt they will explore the huge 4000m² of gardens, made up of lawns, woodland and prairies.... perfect for making hidey holes and cabins. There is also a "boulodrome", set in the shade, ideal for playing petanque late into the evening.
* And last but not least, surrounded by hundred year old trees, and hidden from view, the beautiful private pool invites you to spend long, lazy afternoons sunbathing or swimming. The tiled surround is equipped with sun loungers, parasols and garden furniture. For the comfort of our guests the pool is heated from early May to end of september. Its electric shutter offers maximum security for the younger holidaymakers, and when closed at night helps to keep in the heat gained during the day.
