Nontron, a small town in the Périgord Vert, owes its renown to a tradition unique in France: since the arrival of its first master knifemaker in 1653, this is where the oldest folding knife in the country has been crafted by hand, still made today using the same ancestral techniques. It's within this setting, just steps from the shops, that this 360 m² maison de maître reveals itself, set within a landscaped park of 7,675 m² — a truly unique find at the heart of a town.
From the entrance, the charm takes hold. A welcoming hallway leads to bright, warm living spaces: original parquet floors, a fireplace in every room, generous ceiling heights, large windows and period doors all paint the picture of a noble character, unchanged for generations.
Spread across three levels and a basement, the ground floor offers two adjoining sitting rooms, a dining room opening onto the terrace and park, a study, and a spacious kitchen. The elegant staircase leads up to the first floor, where five large bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom or shower room, promise rest and tranquillity. The same staircase continues up to the converted attic, a beautiful space with wooden floors and exposed beams, ready for new projects.
The basement, both spacious and practical, brings together a laundry room, a boiler room, a games room and a wine cellar.
But it's really the park, accessible from several entrances, that gives this property its singularity — a genuine luxury in the middle of town. It houses a carport for several vehicles, as well as a second house awaiting renovation — the former caretaker's cottage, roughly 50 m² — an ideal opportunity for a study, an artist's studio, or simply an additional independent space.
A truly unique property in the region — the kind of place you only ever find once.
