Nature house in Pechs-de-l'Espérance

This nature house is a 9-person vacation home in the heart of the Dordogne. The house and its outbuildings are situated on a hill, surrounded by nature, on 55 hectares of private property. This nature house, owned by the Blans family since the 1960s, was fully restored and made energy-efficient in 2017 with the help of a local architect, while preserving its authentic features. On the ground floor, there is a large kitchen-dining area and a living room, both of which open onto a terrace. A small hallway leads to the annex, which contains a bedroom, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. On the first floor are three bedrooms, all with stunning views of the valley, a large bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower, and a separate toilet. On warm days, the swimming pond provides a refreshing escape and entertainment. In the early and late seasons, the fireplace, underfloor heating, and wood stove provide cozy comfort. The landlord prefers weekly rentals (Sunday through Sunday), though other rental periods can be arranged upon consultation.
