French Country Estate with 6 Gîtes, 41 Hectares & Established Holiday Business in the Lot

A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic early 19th-century Périgord estate in one of the most sought-after areas of South-West France. Combining a character-filled family home, six established holiday gîtes, swimming pool, tennis court and more than 41 hectares of land, this remarkable property offers the perfect blend of country living, hospitality and privacy—just minutes from charming villages, weekly markets and excellent restaurants.

Dating from 1806, this authentic Périgord stone estate is centred around an elegant main residence of approximately 192 m², beautifully positioned in complete privacy amidst more than 41 hectares (over 100 acres) of meadows, woodland and open countryside.

The ground floor offers generous and welcoming living spaces designed for comfortable family life. A covered terrace leads into a charming dining room featuring original terracotta floor tiles and a traditional cantou fireplace. The spacious 45 m² sitting room enjoys another impressive stone fireplace with wood-burning insert, exposed stonework, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons.
The fully equipped country kitchen of approximately 23 m² retains its authentic character while providing ample space for family meals and entertaining. One of the property's most charming features is the traditional pigeon tower, which has been incorporated into the house and provides a unique bedroom with its own shower room.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms, including a generous principal suite of over 23 m², together with a family bathroom. A second bedroom and shower room occupy the upper level of the pigeon tower, offering ideal accommodation for guests while preserving complete privacy.
Practical spaces include a large utility room, an integral 41 m² garage, extensive cellar and several storage areas.

Across a quiet residential street stands the former stone cattle barn, carefully converted into a charming holiday complex comprising six fully equipped self-catering gîtes accommodating between 2 and 10 guests. Each cottage benefits from its own private entrance, kitchen, living area and independent electrical installation, while a spacious communal games room and reception area provide excellent facilities for guests.
Outside, the estate offers everything expected from a successful holiday destination. A 14 x 7 metre swimming pool, children's splash pool, tennis court, summer kitchen and extensive outdoor spaces invite relaxation while overlooking the surrounding countryside.

The land extends across approximately 41 hectares, providing a rare combination of open pasture, woodland and complete privacy. Numerous traditional outbuildings—including large stone barns, agricultural buildings, a former piggery, a stone cottage awaiting restoration, a bread oven and several historic stone structures—offer exceptional opportunities for future development, subject to the necessary permissions.

Although wonderfully peaceful, the property lies just minutes from the popular villages of Cazals, Gindou and Salviac, renowned for their weekly markets, excellent restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities. The Dordogne Valley, Sarlat and many of South-West France's finest destinations are all within easy reach.
Whether your ambition is to continue the established holiday rental business, create a retreat or wellness centre, develop an equestrian estate or simply enjoy an exceptional private family residence, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of authenticity, scale and opportunity.
