NEUVIC, Aquitaine, Address available on request

An 18th-century country house with annexes, a pool and two hectares of grounds, ready to be lived in straight away in France's Périgord area, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Bordeaux. On the gentle slope of a meadow hidden behind woods, at the bottom of which the branch of a river flows gently, the buildings stand in a walled enclosure around a terrace, forming a stone island among greenery. The roofs of these buildings are covered with either flat tiles or barrel tiles. A single country lane leads up to the property, ending there as a cul-de-sac. The buildings around the rectangular walled terrace include a house an open-sided shelter an ornamental court with a spring a barn flanked with a Zen garden, a kitchen garden and a dovecote a second barn a woodstore a guesthouse and a tall stone wall through which a pedestrian door and an electric gate lead into the walled enclosure. On the south-east side, the terrace and swimming pool look down over a landscaped garden dotted with flowers and trees. The overflow from the spring runs in a channel through this landscaped garden.
