Eymet, Aquitaine 24500

Occupying an elevated position in the heart of a protected Natura 2000 area and overlooking an 11th-century tower, this remarkable country estate enjoys an exceptionally privileged setting. Surrounded by almost four hectares of unspoilt countryside, the property offers panoramic views across the rolling landscape and a wonderful sense of freedom. The owner often says that this is the only place in the world where she can hear her own heartbeat. A simple phrase that perfectly captures the peace and unique atmosphere of this exceptional home. The estate comprises two 15th-century stone buildings: a beautifully converted former barn serving as the main residence and an independent guest house. Behind their historic façades lies a high-quality renovation, carefully designed to provide modern comfort while preserving the character and soul of the property. Upon entering the main house, your attention is immediately drawn upstairs, where the principal living accommodation has been designed to make the most of the spectacular views. Two impressive reception rooms with magnificent vaulted ceilings are flooded with natural light and open onto generous balconies overlooking the surrounding countryside. A fully fitted kitchen complements these elegant living spaces. This level also includes a bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, together with a second shower room. The ground floor is dedicated to the sleeping accommodation. The spacious principal suite features a dressing room, a private shower room and direct access to an elegant covered terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and its beautiful surroundings. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while two further bedrooms share a third shower room. A large games room with bar, a utility room and a workshop complete this level, providing generous space for entertaining or enjoying time with family. A short stroll away, the guest house naturally extends the charm of the estate. It offers a welcoming sitting room opening onto a covered terrace, a kitchen with fireplace, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The spacious attic also provides further potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions. Outside, every feature has been carefully positioned to make the most of this exceptional setting. The heated saltwater infinity pool blends effortlessly into the surrounding landscape, while the jacuzzi invites you to relax and admire the ever-changing views. The terraces, shaded seating areas and large fire pit create several wonderful outdoor living spaces, perfect for enjoying the relaxed lifestyle of South-West France. The estate extends across just under four hectares of beautifully maintained gardens, meadows and natural grounds, ensuring privacy, tranquillity and complete immersion in nature. While the property's historic character is immediately apparent, its technical features are thoroughly modern, including geothermal underfloor heating installed in 2014, double glazing, electric entrance gates, CCTV surveillance and an excellent energy rating (Energy Performance Rating: B / A). An outstanding level of efficiency for a home of this period, with annual running costs of approximately 4,000, including electricity. Located just ten minutes from Eymet, with its shops, restaurants and renowned weekly market, thirty minutes from Bergerac and its international airport, and close to the prestigious Château des Vigiers Golf & Country Club, this exceptional estate enjoys a highly sought-after location, equally suited as a permanent residence, a family home or a luxury hospitality venture. Some properties impress by their size. Others by their history. This one offers something even rarer: a place where heritage, nature and contemporary comfort come together in perfect harmony.
