PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Even within the exquisite Perigord Noir there are corners of natural beauty which stand out above the rest. The timeless hamlet of Savignac-de-Miremont, and its surrounding countryside, is one such place.
Tucked away between Les Eyzies and the colourful market town of Le Bugue, it retains all the character and warmth of the thriving French pastoral community which it certainly is whilst, at the same time, having opened its doors to the lucky few non French families who have fallen upon it and decided to make it their home.

Le Bourg is an authentic old farmhouse quietly resting on a gentle slope at the edge of this most sought after of French villages. Its unique location offers the possibility of absolute seclusion, with the benefit of a very active communal life on the doorstep should you choose to dip into it.

To the front of the property, the delightful enclosed courtyard is subject to nothing more intrusive than the protective gaze of the charming 12th century church under which it sits. To the rear, the half acre garden meadow is completely private and opens onto an unspoilt valley and trickling stream. The living room window on the side of the house enjoys a particularly good view, with wooded hillsides leading the eye off to the middle distance and spectacular sun rises.

Around the courtyard, of lavender flower beds and bedrock terraces, is the main house, a substantial adjoining stone barn of approximately equal size and a smaller stone dependency across the way. Apart from a new roof on the barn, neither dependency has been renovated (yet both have had all services - water, electricity, heating and waste evacuation - incorporated within them) and offer superb potential.
With the extensive, recent renovation of the main house great care has been taken to achieve a balance between the history of the property and modern comforts. Whilst the exterior has retained the ageless simplicity of all that is evocative of the Perigord Noir, the interior has been tastefully and sympathetically restored and renovated to create a beautiful and characterful 3 bedroom home on two floors. The impressive attic space, with traditional oak roof beams, has been left untouched and offers further potential for expansion, should it be required, over and above the two dependencies.

The courtyard side of the ensemble has a very quaint, cottage-like feel and look, whilst from the rear garden one can better appreciate just how substantial the buildings really are.

Le Bourg, Savignac-de-Miremont, offers a wonderful opportunity to purchase a completely finished, beautifully appointed, 3 bedroom farmhouse set in a unique and amazing location, together with easy potential for further development if desired.
There is also the possibility of including a further 1 hectare of land in the purchase.

PRICE: 450,000 euros
