Ribérac, Aquitaine 24600

A 17th-century authentic manor house on enclosed grounds of 6, 800 m, in a village in the Green Prigord region, overlooking the valley near Ribrac. The different parts of the property are aligned in a long perspective with the manor at its centre. Built towards the end of the 15th century and reorganised in 1634, the rectangular manor house has two storeys in addition to an attic level. Its plaster-coated faades are punctuated by small-paned windows protected by shutters and framed by ashlar stone quoins, while its long hipped roof is composed of curved tiles. Two square towers with rhomboidal flat-tile roofs are stationed at a right angle on either end of its southern faade.To the north, a grand courtyard is followed by outbuildings placed in a U shape around a tree-filled garden enclosed with a wrought-iron gate and fences. A copse and a two-storey square dovecote with a pyramidal roof overlook the whole. To the south, two square towers frame a shady patio, which is extended by a grassy garden. A caretaker's house and a swimming pool are located at one end, below, hidden behind a large hedge. To the east, a driveway runs along the enclosure wall and leads to all the spaces. Lastly, a vast barn as well as an enclosed, tree-filled garden complete the property located on the other side of the street.
