DORDOGNE - MAISON DE MAITRE, GITE, BARN, STABLES, FARMHOUSE, MOAT AND PONDS IN 11.5HA

Splendid Maison de Maitre built in 1900's, originally principle property of a larger estate.

The property stands proudly in an elevated position with
breathtaking views from the southfacing ballustrated terrace over the meadows and valley.

Set in it's own 11.5 hectares of parkland, meadowland, and
gardens, and a moat filled with hundreds of flowering water
lillies.The parkland and gardens contain a wealth of mature trees
and shrubs, some fruiting, making for quite tranquil and elegant
gardens.

The Maison de Maitre is entered at the front of the property
from the ballustraded terrace.
This main level of the property consists of 3 reception rooms,
4 bedrooms (2 with en-suite), family bathroom, kitchen, and wide hallways. The level above is a vast open plan area which consists of bedroom, bureau, and living areas. There is a spacious ensuite bathroom adjoining the open plan area, as well as the sixth bedroom which could be used as a nursery or Dressing room. The open plan area could easily be sub-divided into further bedrooms if desired.

In all, there is 400 square metres of habitable living space,
and a further 200 square meters of partially converted basement
below which presently consists of a utility room and a wine
cellar and other rooms perfect for conversion to self
contained appartment/staff/guest suite as it has independant access and parking.
The property has been completely redecorated internally and
externally, completely rewired, and in the main, replumbed.

The renovated stone cottage consists of a ground floor bedroom,
an open plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, and shower room.
Upstairs there is a mezzanine bedoom. The cottage has a
private garden and above ground swimming pool.

The original 15C farmhouse needs renovating, and could make a very nice 5 bedroom family home if returned to its former glory.

The large stone barn is in very good order and houses
16 large prupose-built horse boxes and overhead hay store.
The wooden roof structure is quite impressive.
On one end of this barn is a further barn which houses the 5
larger stallion boxes.
The property boasts an Olympic sized sand menage, and a
further sand lunge area next to the barn which is fenced
and as such provides all weather turnout.

Within the grounds there are 3 ponds and many natural
springs some of which have been welled, and are now used for the water supply for horses in the grazing land.

An exceptional elegant family home, presently geared
toward equestrian purposes, but it would lend itself very well
to supporting any other types of personal or business
interests such as bed and breakfast.
