The property, a beautifully modernised south-facing stone barn (approximately 70 sq.m., mostly open-
plan) is situated in just over a hectare of unobstructed ground, including paddock with pond, and it
frames a magnificent panorama of the Perigord, stretching widely around the famous landmark of
Hautefort castle, which glows like a distant beacon at night.
The interior features an impressive hall area dominated by huge beams which is overlooked by a gallery
with cosy en-suite bedroom beyond, whilst the kitchen and bathroom spaces lie at each end of the
ground floor and it has a big Norwegian wood-burner in the centre. The adjacent rustic terrace provides
an ideal setting for alfresco meals.
At one side the spacious garden includes a 10 x 5m pool (above ground, but neatly landscaped)
and at the other, stands the pottery which is kiln fired by gas from a buried tank and also supplies
central heating for the main house. The pottery annexe has its own sleeping accommodation for
four with all mod cons, not forgetting the car-port alongside; all in all a comfortable, self-contained
work/living unit.
Access being along a country cul-de-sac road, a stone’s throw past the neighbouring farmstead
(The occupants are most friendly and helpful), the site is very peaceful and secure too.
Several supermarkets lie within a 10 kilometre radius and the handy airports of Limoges and Bergerac
are not much more than an hour’s drive away.
So you can see La Grassetie offers a retreat that is not only secluded but not at all isolated either. A real
rest cure in fact!
