Stephen Sherwood Independent Agent, says :
The smell of the pine, the silence of serenity, ripples of the carp, all right here in the middle of the Dordogne.
There is a self sufficient cabin with all mod. cons., solar electricity, hot water and shower, plus a modern organic toilet!!
This place has had money invested in the building and the stock in the lake and is starting to attract clients for fishing holidays.
About a 10 minutes from the charming local village , and not far to St Aulaye and Riberac, and yet well placed for the airports of Bergerac and Bordeaux.
Restaurants and shops abound in the area, so in fact you are not too far from civilisation. The woods are regularly thinned,so another income source is a bonus.
The three and a half acre lake is set within a aprox 40 acre forest planted in Norwegion Pine trees that forms part of the ancient forest of Double. Here you feel as though you have stepped back in time by at least 40 years! You will certainly hear, and if lucky, see the varied wildlife of France at its most natural - wild stags are often heard calling and eagles circle the lake. Althougfh the location of the venue is very rural, it is only 3 minutes drive to the nearest village with bar, restaurant and a shop. A 10 minute drive will bring you to the larger town of St. Aulaye with supermarkets, bar / restaurant, bank, pharmacy etc.
The facilities on this venue are basic, but comfortable, and include a self contained lakeside cabin. This is a 'drive and survive' style destination. The facilities in the cabin are as follows:
Solar panel for lighting
Rain water collected for washing
Calor gas for water heating, fridge and 2 ring gas hob
Chemical/compost toilet
There is no electricity or mains services on site There is a BBQ hut.
The lake is well stocked, fish range from the largest resident around the 50lb mark with at least 3 other known good 40's. There are plenty of backup 20 and 30lbs fish. One angler caught over 20 fish in a day, so action can sometimes be hectic here!!!

The Dordogne is France's third largest department, and as well as numerous picturesque villages, it also boasts an incredible 4,000 chateaux, 10% of all the chateaux in France. Many people, including many expatriates,
feel that the Dordogne is one of the most beautiful regions of France.
The Dordogne has traditionally been one of the most popular department for foreign buyers, including many British,
Irish and Dutch home owners. Like many French departments, the Dordogne is named after the river that flows through it. Foie gras, duck and goose are regional specialities.
The department has four distinct territories. In the north you will find 'Green Périgord' which derives its name from its many green valleys and woodland, covered with trickling
streams, and houses the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park. The major towns in the area are Brantome (the "Venice" of the Dordogne), Nontron and Riberac.
In the centre
of the department is 'White Périgord', so called because of its limestone plateaux. It contains the capital of the Dordogne, Périgueux, with attractive shopping centre and marvellous
winding old town.
The 'Purple Périgord', in the South West of the department, is named from the area's grapes, which are put to good use in Bergerac, the capital of this wine
producing region. The area was of great strategic significance during the hundred years war, and visitors will find a number of fortified villages, castles and chateaux built by both
the English and the French here.
In the south-east you'll find 'Black Périgord', with deep valleys and ancient forests. It contains the towns of Saint-Cyprien and Sarlat-la-Caneda,
which are both popular with foreign buyers. It houses numerous prehistoric caves with some 30,000 year old cave paintings.
Nearest international airports are Limoges, Bergerac
and Bordeaux with regular flights back to the UK, and the department has good motorway and TGV access.
