Summary: Located above the old town of St Cyprien on the River Dordogne, a beautifully restored 17th century “Petit Manoir" with tower. Hidden away in the undulating hills and set in 12 hectares of private woodland, a first glimpse of the house will conjure up romantic visions of a land with a turbulent, yet touching history.
The property is accessed via a narrow country track that cuts through thick woodland and opens onto a gravel driveway that sweeps gracefully up to the property.
Dating back to 1668 offers all the comforts of the 20th century, it would have been the residence of a "gentleman who might as well be dead as not to have a tower on his house".
It will appeal to all lovers of beauty.
Truly magnificent.
