Description
Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on the terrace as mist lifts from the Vézère Valley, the ancient stone walls of your 288-square-meter retreat warming in the Périgord sun. Just two minutes from Le Bugue's bustling market square, this exceptional collection of two interconnected stone houses offers something increasingly rare in the Dordogne: authentic architecture, generous space for extended family gatherings, and the kind of flexible layout that transforms a property into a true vacation sanctuary. The 4x8-meter chlorine pool catches the afternoon light while you plan evening visits to nearby prehistoric caves or tomorrow's truffle market expedition. This is vacation home ownership in the Dordogne Valley as it should be: rooted in place, designed for connection, ready for your story to unfold. Le Bugue sits at the crossroads of everything that makes the Dordogne a perpetual favorite among European vacation home seekers. The town itself pulses with authentic French market life every Tuesday and Saturday, when local producers spread their tables with fresh foie gras, seasonal vegetables, artisan cheeses, and the region's celebrated walnuts. Within the town's walkable center, you'll find bakeries producing pain de campagne daily, butchers preparing confit de canard using generations-old techniques, and cafés where locals still gather for afternoon pastis. This is France without pretense, where your vacation home becomes a genuine base for living rather than merely visiting. The property comprises two distinct stone structures on a fully fenced 2,138-square-meter plot, offering remarkable flexibility for multi-generational holidays or rental income strategies. The main house spans three levels with a dramatic 75-square-meter open-plan living and kitchen area on the ground floor, its stone walls and timber beams creating that sought-after Périgord atmosphere without sacrificing modern comfort. Upstairs, three bedrooms ranging from 14 to 18 square meters accommodate family and guests, serviced by a well-appointed bathroom with shower and WC. A separate dressing room adds practical luxury for longer stays. The second house functions as a self-contained unit perfect for adult children, visiting friends, or seasonal rentals. Its ground floor encompasses a 19-square-meter kitchen, generous 28-square-meter living room, one bedroom, and shower room. Two additional bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with character and space. This configuration allows you to host up to twelve guests comfortably or operate part of the property as a gîte while maintaining private family space, a proven income model in this tourism-rich region. The Dordogne's vacation appeal unfolds in layers throughout the year. Spring brings wild orchids to the limestone plateaus and marks the opening of cave systems like Lascaux IV and Font-de-Gaume, where 17,000-year-old paintings draw history enthusiasts from across Europe. Summer transforms the region into an outdoor paradise: canoeing the Vézère River past medieval châteaux, cycling through sunflower fields on dedicated voies vertes, swimming in clear tributary pools. Autumn means truffle season, wine harvests in nearby Bergerac appellations, and the spectacular foliage that blankets the valley in copper and gold. Even winter holds appeal, with holiday markets, indoor activities at the Aquarium du Périgord Noir in Le Bugue, and cozy evenings around the fireplace. Your location places you two minutes from essential services yet surrounded by countryside tranquility. Le Bugue offers supermarkets, medical services, pharmacies, and the engaging Village du Bournat, an open-air museum recreating 1900s rural life that captivates children and adults alike. Sarlat-la-Canéda, the architectural jewel of the Dordogne with its golden stone buildings and exceptional Saturday market, lies just 25 kilometers east. Les Eyzies, world capital of prehistory, sits 15 minutes away. Bergerac Airport provides direct connections to London, Brussels, and other European cities in 45 minutes, while Bordeaux's international hub lies 140 kilometers west. The TGV station at Libourne connects to Paris in just over three hours, making weekend escapes entirely feasible. The property's good condition means you can begin enjoying your Dordogne lifestyle immediately while undertaking minor cosmetic updates at your own pace. The structural integrity of both stone buildings is sound, windows and doors function properly, and mechanical systems operate reliably. This move-in-ready status proves particularly valuable for international owners seeking a vacation home that doesn't demand constant on-site supervision. The swimming pool's chlorine system with grey liner requires standard seasonal maintenance, while the rainwater collection system provides practical irrigation for gardens. Property taxes of 1,954 euros annually remain reasonable for this size and location, and the energy performance rating of D reflects typical older stone construction with opportunities for incremental efficiency improvements. The Dordogne vacation property market continues attracting discerning international buyers for compelling reasons: authentic French culture without tourist saturation, exceptional food and wine tourism, rich historical significance, and strong rental demand during the extended May-through-September season. Properties of this size and configuration in central locations rent reliably to multi-family groups, often generating 12,000 to 18,000 euros annually with proper marketing and management. Local property management companies offer comprehensive services for non-resident owners, handling everything from guest check-ins to pool maintenance and emergency repairs. France's leaseback and furnished rental tax regimes provide specific advantages for vacation property investors worth exploring with qualified advisors. For British buyers, France remains one of Europe's most straightforward property markets post-Brexit, with established legal frameworks, transparent notaire processes, and widespread English-speaking professional support. Mortgage financing remains available through French banks for non-resident buyers with typical deposits of 20-30 percent. The property includes practical amenities that enhance the vacation experience: the utility room provides laundry facilities essential for extended stays, multiple WCs across both houses prevent morning bottlenecks with full occupancy, and the garage offers secure storage for bikes, sports equipment, and seasonal furniture. The fully fenced grounds provide safety for children and pets while establishing clear boundaries on the generous plot. Key features include 288 square meters of living space across two independent houses, six bedrooms accommodating up to twelve guests, three complete bathrooms plus additional WCs, expansive 75-square-meter main living area with kitchen, 4x8-meter chlorine pool with integrated spa feature, 2,138-square-meter fully fenced grounds, authentic stone construction with character beams and features, separate garage and utility spaces, two-minute walk to Le Bugue town center, all services and amenities, move-in ready condition requiring only minor cosmetic updates, strong rental income potential in proven tourism market, rainwater collection system for sustainable gardening, manageable annual property tax of 1,954 euros, and excellent access to Bergerac Airport and regional attractions. This property represents more than a vacation home investment; it offers entry into the Dordogne lifestyle that has captivated generations of travelers who eventually decided never to leave. Here, your holidays revolve around farmers' markets and riverside picnics, prehistoric cave explorations and château visits, long lunches that stretch into early evening, and the simple pleasure of watching summer storms roll across the valley from your own terrace. The space accommodates your entire extended family, the location provides authentic immersion in French culture, and the configuration allows the property to support itself through rental income when you're not in residence.
