Le Buisson de Cadouin.
This authentic property is situated within walking distance to local amenities.
Enter through the original doors into a wide and welcoming hall, large enough to hold a dinner party in. From here, doors lead to the large and spacious 41m2 living room with high beamed ceilings and double doors that open onto the gardens, and further internal doors leading to the 30m2 second living room beyond boasting a feature fireplace and more French doors to the garden.
Beyond this is the 37m2 dining room, again with a feature fireplace, terracotta stone flooring and beautiful beamed ceilings. The kitchen is more modern with built in appliances, a larder beyond this and boiler equipment room. Further down the hall there is a ground floor bedroom "currently used as a study" one of many with an adjoining bathroom and separate WC and more French doors leading into the garden.
Furthermore, on the ground floor is a useful laundry room and guest WC.
On the second floor the property offers five more double bedrooms; one of which has a private living room area, all have their own private bathrooms and two offer feature grand fireplaces, and high ceilings with beams.
Above this on the second floor there is a vast and un-renovated attic, it is very possible to add another staircase and create more habitable space replicating the floor area below (all subject to necessary permissions).
The second house, formally the old tobacco barn, offers a further 187m2 of additional living space, currently run as a gite (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration); having its own entrance, breakfast kitchen, and living-dining areas, and three bedrooms spread across the ground and first floors.
The living room is very spacious. It has a feature stone fireplace, a vaulted ceiling with mezzanine games room above and doors lead to a private terrace area, again featuring those beautiful views and access to the in-ground, saltwater swimming pool set just beyond.
Furthermore, there is an attached two-bedroom apartment, it also offers a raised private terrace and entrance into a pretty open-plan kitchen-living room with a hallway off leading to the shared bathroom, separate WC and bedrooms.
Outside, the property offers stone shingled sun-soaked terraces, a pigeoneer, an original bread oven, carport all within these authentic wooden store buildings and very suitable for garden storage; part of which offers a pretty covered terrace, interlaced with wisteria and vines and just perfect for eating alfresco on balmy summer evenings.
All the properties have been lovingly restored using traditional materials with meticulous attention to detail, this is evident in every aspect. What a super opportunity to own an authentic French mansion set in an amazing location nestled amongst the best of France's beaux villages and just 20 minutes to Sarlat.
Perfectly grand for large events, artist retreats, multigenerational living or even a chambre d'hotes perhaps, so many possibilities of earning an income whilst living the French dream.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
