The grounds cover 1.13 hectares, roughly 2.75 acres. The grounds are partly enclosed by fencing and electric gates at the top of the driveway.

The swimming pool is brand new, as is the covered terrace and summer kitchen area. This is the perfect spot for enjoying the long summer days, simply moving from one meal onto the next. Whilst in the winter, the house, with it's B-rated energy efficiency will be nice and warm during any winter cold snap.

For the keen hiker or cyclist, there are many cycle trails through the woods and along the waterways. 'The three washing stones' is one particular spot well worth a visit. f you are a water enthusiast, the Dordogne river is nearby and there are also three leisure lakes in the area.

For history buffs, the village retains many of its Gallo-Roman features, including traces of its settlements, temple carvings and unearthed monolith sarcophagi.

It's an easy drive to the nearest train station with a direct line into central Bordeaux and Bergerac airport is a 40min drive.
