About this property
In the countryside surrounded by farmland, woodland and rotating sunflowers, Le Mas de Campagne reveals itself as an exceptional rural retreat in northern Dordogne, close to the Charente border.
This 12-acre estate brings together the comfort of two beautifully restored manor house-style residences thoughtfully designed for extended families or groups seeking refined style and space to gather and spend quality time together.
In the first house, guests will love the expansive open-plan living and kitchen area, where a central island, wood-burning stove and sofas set the tone for convivial evenings. Upstairs, there are three delightful en suite double bedrooms across the two upper floors, allowing this spacious house to sleep up to 6 guests.
Hosting another 6 guests, the second house exudes charm with its original beamed ceilings and warm, inviting interiors. A pretty kitchen and dining area creates a relaxed hub for light meals, while the comfortable living room offers a cosy spot to unwind. Three well-appointed double bedrooms are spread across the upper two floors, each offering privacy and character, alongside two attractive bathrooms.
Across both houses, traditional features blend seamlessly with modern conveniences, creating homely yet elegant spaces to retreat to at the end of each day. There is also a seventh bedroom is in a charming self-contained studio annexe, meaning Le Mas de Campagne is suitable for up to 14 guests.
Outdoors, the estate opens into an oasis of pastoral charm. A heated swimming forms the centrepiece of the gardens, flanked by sun loungers for easy afternoons under the southern French sky. Terraces spill out from the houses, each offering a unique dining or lounging zone, from the atmospheric summer kitchen with its pizza oven, plancha and gas barbecue, to the long, shaded dining table that invites shared al-fresco meals. The games barn brings even more entertainment, with table tennis, darts and a home cinema for relaxed evenings or rainy-day fun.
