This naturehouse comprises a small farmhouse and yard enclosed by a barn and smaller outbuildings and is let as a whole. It occupies a very private and peaceful setting on a spur between two side valleys looking across the dramatic valley of the Dordogne. The house (now used only occasionally by the owner) has an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen area on the ground floor with a medium sized bedroom and ensuite shower room in the converted attic. Four steps up from the corner of the lounge is another large room, formerly a barn, with double doors opening onto a covered terrace. Altogether the garden has four terraces: one roofed, one for morning sun, one suitable for sun-loungers and one facing across the main valley, with views over walnut orchards to the cliffs beyond the river Dordogne. Ample shade is provided by a horse-chestnut and a lime at the top of the drive. The grounds are enclosed and very private and are at the end of a no-through road.
Nature and surroundings
The naturehouse is situated within the Natural Park of the Causses du Quercy, a Unesco Global Geopark. The limestone hills are largely wooded but also have open sheep-grazed grassland areas which are very rich in butterflies and wildflowers, including many species of orchid. Birds such as Cuckoo, Hoopoe, Golden Oriole and Nightingale are common. The countryside is excellent for walking or biking. Countless tracks cross the limestone plateaux or follow the smaller river valleys. The track that continues past the cottage climbs up to a long cliff overlooking the river, with the higher peaks of the Auvergne visible on the horizon. There are many medieval villages, chateaux and towns scattered throughout the region, from the extremely attractive villages of Collonges la Rouge, Carrenac, Autoire, Lubressac, to the historic towns of Martel, Sarlat and Gourdon. The spectacular pilgrim cité of Rocamadour, built into a near-vertical cliff face is only 15 minutes away by car.
