Built in 1648, this property is a historic ferry landing post on the River
Dordogne. It is now a traditional Perigourdine-style house with 220 meters
of waterfront. Spread out over five acres of land, the property includes
beautiful gardens with natural landscaping, a brook that flows down to the
private beach, and a walnut grove at the west end of the property. The
property also includes a swimming pool with an infinity edge overlooking
the Dordogne. Most of the property is fenced, and access to the pool and
river can be blocked by fences and gates. Please note, however, that young
children must be attended to at all times. There is parking available in
the front courtyard and one additional spot right outside the front gate.
