A Characterful Country Estate Surrounded by Woodland and Meadows in the Périgord

Just a few minutes from Beaumont-du-Périgord, a small country road gives way to a rising lane winding through the trees. At the end of the hamlet, the property comes into view, quietly set on its south-facing hillside. The stonework has the soft, pale ochre tones that come alive in the late afternoon light. It is from the top of the drive that one best understands what is being offered here: space, tranquillity, and an uninterrupted horizon of woodland and meadows that is unlikely to change.

Twelve hectares of contiguous land surround the property, combining woodland, meadows and gardens. Walks begin right from the doorstep; roe deer appear in the early morning, mushrooms emerge in autumn, and the woodland provides firewood for the winter. Hidden among the trees, the ruins of an old stone building lie beneath the ivy, quietly recalling the agricultural history of the land.

The quality of the restoration becomes immediately apparent upon entering the house. Carried out between 2022 and 2024 under the guidance of an architect, the work was undertaken with meticulous care, both in the visible finishes and in everything concealed behind them. Each room is named after a celestial body — the sun, the moon and the planets — while this discreet theme is reflected in the colours and the way light moves through the interiors. In the evening, when the Périgord sky fills with stars, the inspiration behind the concept becomes clear.

The main house offers a 51 sqm living room with fireplace, flowing into an open-plan kitchen and a glazed veranda used as a dining room, overlooking the garden. Four bedrooms and a proper study are arranged across the different levels. Outside, the original bread oven remains as a reminder of the property's past.

Two guest bedrooms adjoining the main house each have their own private entrance, with no access through the family living areas: your guests retain their privacy, while you retain yours. The gîte is a separate house in its own right, with a 35 sqm living area and two bedrooms upstairs — ideal for welcoming friends and family for the summer, or for operating a rental business in this highly sought-after tourist area.

The 12 x 6 metre swimming pool, heated by a heat pump, extends the swimming season, while the covered 29 sqm pool house provides a shaded place for outdoor lunches. There is also a garage and gardening workshop. Further away in the meadow, a 450 sqm barn offers genuine potential for anyone with a project in mind. Pellet heating with underfloor heating, an electric vehicle charging point and a well complete the facilities. For a stone property of this age, its energy performance is particularly sound.

There are no properties directly overlooking the house — just birdsong, the wind moving through the oak trees, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the property remains quietly watched over when you are away.

Beaumont-du-Périgord, an English-founded bastide dating from 1272, with its arcaded square and fortified church, is a lively year-round community. Local shops and farmers' markets take place on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Nearby are Monpazier, Cadouin, Saint-Avit-Sénieur, Château de Biron, the Dordogne Valley and the vineyards of Bergerac. Bergerac International Airport is approximately 35 minutes away, with direct flights to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

This is a property that cannot easily be conveyed in just a few lines. I would be delighted to accompany you here and let you experience from the terrace what it truly means to have space and privacy all around you.
