Set high up in the heart of the vineyards around Bergerac, close to the village of Pomport, the property is a charming pigeonnier - built in 1340 - with uninterrupted views right across the Dordogne valley, countryside and surrounding vineyards towards the historic site of Montcuq where the 100 Years War started.
Being part of a small estate set in 11 hectares, guests have the advantage of using the grounds and large lake for their own use, and of course the stunning views.
On entering the property via a private driveway, the pigeonnier is set to one side of the main house. The large garden is mainly laid to lawn with colourful flowerbeds encompassing the property and an interesting selection of mature fruit and other trees providing pockets of shade.
The large lake is set below and boasts an abundance of wild life to watch and enjoy. The terrace alongside the tower overlooking the stunning view provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining. The gardens and terrace provide both sunny and shady areas throughout the day.
The property is comfortably furnished and equipped to a high standard. Its elevated situation, combined with several French doors leading from each of the rooms to the garden, means it is delightfully light and airy.
This property is set amongst Bergerac wine terrors. Wines, vineyards and winegrowers with 9 different wine routes including the world renowned Monbazillac wine and the beautiful Monbazillac Château are only minutes away from the property. Also close by are many Michelin star restaurants including the Tour de Vents. It is ideally situated to explore the Perigord Noir, Sarlat and Périgueux to the east; Bordeaux, St Emillion and Castillon (place of the end of the 100 Years War) to the west.
There are regular markets close by including at Bergerac, Issegiac and the popular night markets at Eymet.
There is a small Carrefour supermarket, bakers, butchers and charcuterie just 5 mins drive away at Sigoulès, whilst large supermarkets and hypermarkets are to be found 10-15 minutes away.
