A Family Estate in the Périgord Vert — a Preserved Hamlet, a Truffle Ground and Every Comfort

A long lane lined with fields and meadows leads to a hamlet that has stayed true to its authentic past. Here, a château, a characterful farmhouse and large stone houses weathered to a soft golden hue by time compose a scene that captures, perfectly, the soul of the Périgord Vert. Just a few kilometres away, Excideuil unfolds its medieval streets and its château — said to have withstood Richard the Lionheart three times over — today a celebrated "Petite Cité de Caractère," known for its Thursday market, one of the finest in the region.
At the top of the hamlet, sheltered from view, lies a rare property made up of several independent buildings united by the same art of living: an elegant main residence, a traditional longère, and a third building housing a duplex studio and two garages.
The main house, fully renovated in 2014 with uncompromising care — complete insulation, a new roof, wooden double-glazed windows, fibre-optic internet — offers every modern comfort without ever losing its soul. Spread across three levels and more than 370 m², it offers two sitting rooms, a large, fully equipped open kitchen, and generous living spaces throughout. Upstairs, a master suite comes with its own bathroom, sauna and hammam; higher still, a fitness room and further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room, complete the sleeping quarters.
Outside, the heated saltwater pool (6 x 12 m) and the pétanque court sit naturally within the walled garden — a place made for long summer afternoons with family.
The longère, with its independent bedrooms and private entrances, and the duplex studio, add a valuable extra layer of space: room enough for the whole family without ever feeling crowded, or, for those who'd like it, the makings of a guesthouse venture in one of the most sought-after corners of the Périgord Vert.
Facing the property, a 1.1-hectare truffle ground and an orchard complete this idyllic picture — the kind of detail you can't invent, and one that reminds you, season after season, that you're truly at the heart of Périgord's gastronomic tradition.
An exceptional property, in excellent condition, ready to welcome its new owners — whether for year-round family life, or as a holiday home where the generosity of the place never runs out.
