Charming historic barn with pool

Experience a beautifully renovated 18th-century barn in Dordogne. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a spacious living area with high ceilings, exposed beams, fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen, as well as a swimming pool and one hectare of landscaped gardens, this historic yet modern home is perfect for large families or groups of friends. Just 7 km from Bergerac, with local bars, bakeries, and wine-tasting chateaux nearby. The space Stay in an Authentic 18th-Century Farmhouse in the Dordogne Step back in time without giving up modern comfort. This unique property, originally built in the early 1700s, has been beautifully restored to offer charm, history, and space for family and friends. The estate consists of three historic buildings: the main house, a former tobacco dryer, and the fully renovated stables. The Stables Once home to animals, the stables have been transformed into a stylish guesthouse with six bedrooms across two levels. • Upstairs: two bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms • Ground floor: four bedrooms sharing two bathrooms The heart of the house is the spacious living room, where the exposed wooden beams curve above like the hull of an upside-down boat—a nod to the local tradition of boat builders turned roof carpenters. Gather around the grand stone fireplace, built with stones reclaimed from an old castle, or relax on the huge sofa. A long dining table seats up to 12 guests comfortably for shared meals. The Kitchen Perfect for food lovers, the kitchen is equipped with top-quality appliances: wine fridge, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, traditional espresso machine, filter coffee maker, and everything else you might need. An old radio hides a modern surprise—it’s actually a Bluetooth speaker, so you can set the mood with your own music. The Outdoors The property sits on one hectare of landscaped gardens. At the bottom of the garden, you’ll find a little river running behind a bamboo grove—a peaceful place for a stroll or a quiet moment. The pool area is a highlight, complete with a large deck and a comfortable outdoor couch for lounging in the sun or under the stars. For families, there’s also a small playground with swings, a trampoline, and outdoor games. Baby beds are available on request. Perfect For Large families, groups of friends, or anyone who wants to enjoy the Dordogne’s beauty in a property full of character, history, and comfort. Guest access Guests have exclusive access to the entire property during their stay. You’ll have the whole place to yourselves to relax, play, and enjoy the Dordogne at your own pace.
