Description
Nestled on the outskirts of the peaceful and highly sought-after village of Saussignac, this exceptional 14th-century manor offers a rare blend of historical grandeur, modern comfort, and breathtaking views over the rolling Dordogne countryside.
Set on more than 2 hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property includes equestrian facilities, an independent guest cottage, and a spectacular 16 x 6 metre heated mosaic swimming pool, complete with stylish covered dining and lounging areas.
A private, tree-lined driveway leads through electric gates into a charming courtyard, where you’ll find the main house, the guest cottage and garages. The manor offers over 300m2 of living space and retains a wealth of original features, including Girondine floor tiles, exposed oak beams, exposed walls, high ceilings and majestic fireplaces. Modern amenities such as high-speed fibre internet ensure total comfort for contemporary living.
On the ground floor, the property features a welcoming entrance hall, a formal dining room, and an impressive living room that opens directly onto the rear terrace. There is also a spacious kitchen with a cosy living area and direct access to a large east-facing terrace — the perfect spot for al fresco meals or relaxed evening drinks. In addition, there is a dedicated office space, boiler room and a separate laundry room.
The first floor comprises four generously sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, while the other two share a stylish family bathroom. On the top floor, the magnificent principal suite enjoys spectacular elevated views across the surrounding countryside, creating a tranquil and private retreat.
The independent guest cottage is ideal as a ‘maison d’amis’ and includes an open-plan kitchen and living space, a comfortable bedroom, and a modern shower room. Adjacent to the cottage, wine lovers will delight in the vaulted wine cellar — a dream space for tastings or events. Above the cellar is a large, light-filled room currently used as an office and music room, offering flexibility for a variety of uses.
The estate is further enhanced by two double garages, an open garage, a small workshop, and extensive equestrian facilities, including four horse boxes (two of which are suitable for ponies), a chicken coop, paddocks, and a professional ménage for riding and training.
Surrounded by rolling hills and mature trees, the beautifully landscaped gardens create a serene and picturesque environment. The large heated swimming pool, with its mosaic tiling and shaded lounging and dining areas, provides the perfect setting for relaxing summer days.
Despite the tranquil countryside setting, all essential amenities — including supermarkets, schools, pharmacies, doctors, bars, and restaurants — are within a 10-kilometre radius. For golf enthusiasts, the prestigious Golf du Château des Vigiers is less than 5 km away, while the train station in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, with direct connections to Bordeaux, is under 10 km. The bustling town of Bergerac is only 20 minutes by car, and Bordeaux is easily reachable for international travel or city excursions.
Just minutes from the heart of Saussignac, known for its exceptional wine estates and gourmet restaurant, this extraordinary manor is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dordogne’s rich heritage — a place where charm, elegance, and rural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
