Located in a beautiful part of the French countryside with views across the valley and to the hills beyond. In private grounds but within easy reach of major road networks, local facilities, large supermarket complex and tourist attractions. There are numerous airports offering low cost budget airlines within an hour and the International airport at Bordeaux is approximately one and a half hours comfortable drive. The channel ports are reached in about 6 hours.

Comprising on the first floor of a magnificent marble staircase and entrance hall, large open living space with separate areas for dining and relaxing with a wood burning fireplace in the centre, breakfast area and a newly fitted kitchen and storage areas. The large cellar is reached from this floor and this contains a private wine cellar/drinks room, garaging, storage and space for a gym and games room.

The separate accommodation for family or staff is reached off the ground floor hall and contains an office, bathroom, kitchen, lounge and two bedrooms.

On the first floor of the property is a large landing with an open area to the roof with the exposed `A` frame as an impressive feature of this space. There are four bedrooms, 3 with en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom.

Outside the grounds are landscaped to offer panoramic views but with a high degree of privacy. The impressive looking house is reached via its own private drive with beautiful wooded areas and lawns. There is a newly fitted pool (12m x 5m) with its own pump room, barbeque and cooking area and a separate log cabin which could easily become a private sauna/solarium. Currently the grounds are used for exclusive camping holidays and the required facilities are in place, but in our opinion this would make a magnificent home for the busy international executive with minimum alterations to the site. The grounds are gently undulating to the valley below where there is a private water source for your very own water supply! A helicopter pad could be easily installed on the grounds.

Entering the house via the rear of the property to take advantage of the views via a shingled patio area and through a fully glazed front door.
