Sarlat La Canada.
This authentic property is set in the countryside of the Golden Triangle of Perigord Noir, around 10kms from Sarlat-La-Canada. The entrance is through a gateway into a stunning courtyard where there is the main house, dating back to the 15th Century, and other buildings including a guest annexe, and caretaker's cottage.
There is a reception room thought to date back to the 13th Century and two open barns or loggias, one of which has its own fireplace. Some of the buildings have the traditional lauze stone roofing of the area.
The main stone house has a pretty kitchen with range cooker, a sizeable living/dining room with huge working fireplace and large windows bringing in lots of light.
Doors lead out to the terrace and the swimming pool (12 x 5m), and there is a downstairs bedroom with a shower room next door. The ancient stone stairs lead up to two further bedrooms, another shower room and a stunning master suite, with gorgeous fireplace and large en suite bathroom.
There is an intriguing stone spiral staircase from the bathroom that leads up to the tower room where the famous French novelist Robert Merle used to write.
The guest annexe is around 115m2 and has a pretty living and dining area opening onto the courtyard, a small kitchen, 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom, perfect for friends and family or even to rent out as a gite (subject to necessary permissions).
The gorgeous caretaker's cottage is 60m2 and has a living and dining area, fitted kitchen, shower room and 2 bedrooms. It also opens onto the courtyard.
Stone steps lead up from the courtyard to a tower with a studio at the top. The bottom of the tower gathers rainwater in a tank which is used to irrigate the garden. The gorgeous reception room with its original inglenook fireplace also has a small terrace, perfect for an apero.
Other areas include a wood store and wine cellar, and laundry room, workshop, garages and boiler room.
The gardens are made up of 2.9 hectares of land with mature specimen trees, an orchard, vegetable garden and woodland.
This is a unique property that could equally suit a large family with frequent visitors, or potentially as a main house and two gites (subject to necessary permissions).

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.
