Countryside house for sale near Saint-Estèphe

Located in a small village in the heart of the Périgord Vert region, 40 minutes from Angoulême and 30 minutes from Brantôme en Périgord, this fully renovated 18th-century granite farmhouse offers 185 sq m of living space. The property overlooks a nearly 2-hectare park with breathtaking views of the pond and its surrounding vegetation, creating an atmosphere of calm, tranquility, and spaciousness.

This former ironmaster's house, dating back to 1729, comprises a beautiful entrance hall with a staircase, a large 50 sq m living room, a lounge, a separate kitchen, a toilet, and access to a large pantry.

The terracotta floors, the various fireplaces, and the exposed beams lend a harmonious character to the ground floor.

The granite terrace, extending from the house, provides access to every room and floods the interior with natural light.

Upstairs: two hallways.

The first leads to two generously sized bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate toilet.

The second leads to a master suite (20 sq m) with a large bathroom (10 sq m), as well as a space that can be converted into additional living space, offering a blank canvas for future development. A 50 sq m garage provides parking for one vehicle, and the upper floor is currently used as a workshop. Part of the ground floor houses the boiler room, which contains a 4-tonne pellet boiler that supplies the house's central heating, as well as a thermodynamic water heater.

Outside, there is a secure swimming pool with an alarm system, and a fisherman's cottage with a rammed-earth entrance and a period fireplace adds to the property's charm.

An outdoor tap next to the house is supplied by a spring. A rare property featuring a compliant pond fed by three springs, part of the cascading ponds of the Limousin-Périgord Regional Natural Park, and a compliant settling basin.

Local amenities include a bakery 3 km away, and mobile vendors also visit the village. Schools, colleges, shops, and pharmacies are 7 km away. One of the largest and most beautiful bodies of water in the department, the Saint-Estèphe pond, is just 5 km away.

The park and the pond, dating from 1960 and bordered by granite, cover approximately 2 hectares, creating an idyllic setting that invites serenity and contemplation.
