Real Estate For Sale: 3 bed Villa-House in Genis Dordogne Aquitaine France

Dating from 17th century this impressive stone property offers well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and many original features. Situated just a five minute drive from the hilltop village of Genis, the house is accessed by private road and offers complete tranquility. A wide entryway leads to a spacious kitchen and dining room on the one side and to two further reception rooms on the other. There are three imposing stone fireplaces (one with its original candle supports)- two with working woodburners. Also on the ground floor can be found a laundry room/second kitchen with bread oven and a separate WC. An original stone staircase invites the gaze upwards to a wooden ballustraded landing on the first floor. To one side is a magnificent master bedroom with its own bathroom tastefully arranged behind period oak panneling. The metal bath itself incorporates a unique heating system to ensure extended bathing (if the mood takes you!). Also on this level can be found two further double bedrooms and a good sized family bathroom. An oak staircase continues upwards to provide access to the attic - offering further potential for more accomodation (subject to permissions). The main house and outbuildings form a neat courtyard, and also comprise a 200sqm barn, a substantial stone poulailler (potentially a future guest house? - subject to necessary permissions) and a covered terrace or préau. There is a beautiful stone-lined well which currently provides water for the two stabled horses all the year round. The land to the front and back is essentially prairie, but also contains a wooded area and enclosed private garden. Mature fruit and walnut trees, along with aspens and japonicas provide a rich assortment of colour right through the year. This unique property (possibly the oldest in the area) was originally part of an early domaine and enjoys fabulous views to the East and West. Hurry to book your viewing!
