Description
Welcome to an exquisite opportunity to own a piece of Bergerac's rich history, nestled in the picturesque region of Aquitaine, Dordogne. This unique property, just a ten-minute drive from the lively hub of Bergerac, invites you to weave your own story into the tapestry of its walls. Whether you are an expatriate seeking a new abode in France or an overseas buyer imagining a serene retreat, this property offers a blend of potential and comfort that'll make you feel right at home in the heart of France's wine country.
Picture yourself in this five-bedroom stone house, which combines history with modern amenities, perfectly preserved to offer you a piece of French heritage. Imagine stepping into a space where past and present harmoniously coexist. The property comprises two interconnected houses – an older Perigourdine-style segment and an adjacent section dating back to the 1930s. These sections offer a great level of flexibility, allowing for individual or combined living, catering to your family's needs or future plans.
The first of these charming dwellings oozes character with its exposed beams, rustic brickwork, and traditional tiled flooring. As you enter, you're welcomed by a large, inviting living room complete with a cozy wood stove perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the local vineyards. The ground floor bedroom adds convenience, while the quirky attic rooms with angled ceilings call out for transformation into a child's play zone or an inspiring office space.
In the second part of the house, an airy living and dining area greets you, flooded with natural light thanks to the recently installed open kitchen. It's a delightful space to host friends or enjoy family dinners, enriched by a brand new bathroom, a dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the cellar. Upstairs, the landing leads to two generously-sized bedrooms, each sharing a quaint water feature that adds a touch of serenity to your mornings.
For those eyeing comfort and efficiency, this home boasts double glazing throughout, city gas central heating powered by a new boiler, and a modern insert with a heat recovery unit for upper-level warmth. Ideal as a shared home for two families, a spacious holiday getaway, or as a base for a local business, this property's atypical layout provides endless possibilities.
Encompassed within a lush 2,345 m² plot, the garden offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. It's an open canvas for your gardening ambitions, be it a vegetable patch or a wine-tasting corner under the open sky.
Now let's talk about the surrounding area that offers an undeniable allure of its own. Bergerac is steeped in medieval history and is set in a scenic wine-producing region, making it a favored spot for those who relish calm surroundings peppered with cultural richness. The Dordogne region is acclaimed for its stunning landscapes, historical sites like caves and castles, and, of course, its gastronomy, promising a hearty selection ranging from truffles to foie gras.
Days here can be spent wandering through local markets, indulging in a glass of wine from the countless vineyards, or simply basking in the gentle sun of the southern French climate, which is mild most of the year with warm, pleasant summers and cool, wet winters.
Life in Bergerac offers a tranquil pace compared to the hustle and bustle of city living. The community here is welcoming and you'll find plenty of expats enjoying the laid-back lifestyle. The local schools and healthcare facilities are reliable, making it perfect if you're considering raising a family here. For leisure, take bike rides along scenic trails, kayak down lazy rivers, or explore the verdant countryside just a stone's throw from your doorstep.
