Tucked away at the end of a beautiful driveway and surrounded by mature trees and woodland, this charming Périgord-style property offers the rare combination of privacy, space and excellent access to the Dordogne's most sought-after sites.

Built in 1983 and facing south, the main house offers around 160m² of accommodation, with a generous 49.7m² living/dining room featuring a fireplace, a wood-burning stove, kitchen, two bedrooms, mezzanine, terrace, balcony garage and additional rooms. A separate gîte provides an ideal space for visiting family and friends or could offer potential for seasonal tourist accommodation.

Set on approximately 7,000m² of beautifully wooded grounds, the property is reached via a particularly attractive approach and lies on a very quiet country lane used mainly by local residents. Sainte-Alvère, with its shops, restaurants, weekly market and famous truffle market, is close by, while Le Bugue, Lalinde, Bergerac, Sarlat are all within easy reach.

Approached by a lovely tree-lined driveway, this attractive Périgord-style property sits quietly within approximately 7,000m² of private grounds, surrounded by mature trees and woodland. The house enjoys a particularly peaceful position on a small road used predominantly by local residents, creating a wonderfully private atmosphere while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities and some of the Dordogne's most celebrated villages and tourist attractions.

Built in 1983, the property has the character and proportions associated with traditional Périgord architecture, while offering generous living space and a very practical layout.
The house is south-facing, making the outdoor spaces particularly appealing for enjoying the garden, terraces and long summer evenings.
With a main house of approximately 160m², a garage, an independent gîte, this is a property that could work equally well as a permanent residence, a spacious French holiday home or a combination of private living and tourist accommodation.
The main house.

The heart of the property is undoubtedly the large 49.7m² living room, a generous and welcoming space designed for family life and entertaining.
The room benefits from a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point during the cooler months. There is plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining area, making this a room that can easily accommodate family and friends.

The kitchen is positioned conveniently next to the main living area.

The ground floor also includes:
Entrance – approximately 3.4m²
Bedroom 1 – approximately 13.1m²
Bathroom – approximately 5.1m²
Separate WC – approximately 2.2m²
Garage – approximately 28.3m²
Additional rooms measuring approximately 13.6m² and 6.3m²
Covered pergola – approximately 10.1m²
Terrace – approximately 22.8m²
The additional rooms adjoining the pergola offer useful flexibility and could potentially be used according to the future owner's needs — for hobbies, storage or a workshop.

The large garage provides valuable storage and practical space for a vehicle, bicycles, gardening equipment and outdoor leisure equipment.

Mezzanine
Upstairs, a 12.5m² mezzanine provides a versatile additional area.
This could make an excellent home office, reading corner, hobby area or occasional sleeping space, depending on the needs of the new owners.
The second bedroom on the mezannine level measures approximately 12m² and benefits from access towards a lovely balcony of approximately 4m², private and ideal for reading a book on a nice evening.
The upper level therefore provides a degree of separation from the main living areas and would work particularly well when family or friends are staying.
Independent gîte – ideal for guests accommodation.

One of the property's most attractive features is the separate independent gîte, providing approximately 19m² of accommodation.
It comprises:
Main room – approximately 14.2m²
Small kitchen area – approximately 2.1m²
Bathroom – approximately 3m²
The gîte gives the property an important extra dimension.
This could be particularly useful as a private space for visiting family and friends. Alternatively, subject to the necessary regulations and permissions, it could provide an opportunity for seasonal tourist accommodation.

The Dordogne remains one of France's most popular destinations for visitors seeking countryside, gastronomy, heritage and outdoor activities, making an independent guest space a particularly appealing feature.

Approximately 7,000m² of private grounds
The land is a major part of the appeal.
With approximately 7,000m² of grounds, there is a wonderful sense of space and privacy around the property. Mature trees and woodland create a natural backdrop, while the house sits within its own peaceful environment rather than being surrounded by neighbouring properties.

For buyers coming from the UK, this is the kind of setting that offers the lifestyle many people associate with owning a home in rural France: space to breathe, a private garden, birdsong, mature vegetation, fruit trees and the freedom to enjoy outdoor life.

The grounds could lend themselves to a variety of uses, whether simply enjoying them as they are, creating more defined garden areas, establishing vegetable gardens or fruit trees, or developing outdoor leisure areas.
Any future development would of course be subject to the relevant planning regulations.

Outdoor living
The south-facing orientation is a real advantage.
A 22.8m² terrace provides a generous outdoor entertaining area.
Together with the extensive grounds, these outdoor spaces make the property particularly well suited to the French indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
This is very much a property designed for enjoying life at a slower pace.
