House buy in Laperche Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Approached via a lavender-lined driveway, with no near neighbours and glorious views, this collection of substantial farm buildings is going to create a lot of interest. It is just 40 minutes from the international airport at Bergerac, on the edge of the Dordogne, close to the Bastide town of Eymet. La Residence describes this as a 'home and income' property, but quite which of the two will be the 'home' is up to the new owners, as both houses are simply charming. All the renovations have been carried out to a very high standard, taking into account the age and character of the buildings. The vendors have previously been granted permission to convert the outbuildings into additional accommodation. Those permits could probably be renewed. The complex might equally be used for equestrian purposes, given the large land area (34554m2). Everyday shopping could be done in Miramont-de-Guyenne (10 mins drive) or for a wider selection in Eymet (20 mins). Miramont is a pretty town with an arched central square, there are supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a school and doctor. Don't miss the Monday morning market either. Eymet is full of old world charm yet the place has a modern buzz about it. If you miss market day on Monday then head for Eymet on a Thursday morning!
