In the heart of a charming and lively village in the Lot, just a short walk from the Dordogne River, this elegant stone Manor house has been meticulously restored to embody the true art of French living. The restoration highlighs the home’s original features while enhancing them with luxury finishes — stone fireplaces, cast-iron radiators, intricate moldings, antique chandeliers, custom woodwork, and bespoke bathroom fixtures.
Bright and spacious, the interiors include a luxurious living room, refined dining room with a Jotul wood-burning stove and a sumptuous kitchen. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms, including a master suite, a vast dressing room, and a luxurious bathroom create an exceptional private retreat. A vaulted wine cellar, a large attic converted into a cinema and leisure space, and an intimate stone-paved garden complete the property.
Two independent apartments provide additional guest accommodation or income potential. A rare, authentic, and quietly prestigious residence.

Located in the heart of the village square, this beautiful stone house underwent a complete and professional restoration between 2002 and 2007, carried out with great respect for its authenticity and original architectural elements. The property also includes two adjoining renovated apartments, providing additional living space—an ideal solution for hosting family and friends or a potential rental income opportunity.

The house benefits from a pleasant private courtyard-garden paved with natural stone, a true intimate outdoor space in the heart of the village.
