CHARACTER PROPERTY.
A PRIORESS from the 12th century, completely renovated!! The environment of this former PRIORESS is perfectly calm and invites serenity. Dating from the 12th century, founded in 1130, this prioress is one of the first churches in Dordogne. Full of history with its royal residents like King Richard the Lionheart and the sister of King Louis XIII, traces of the church can still be found today in the basement of these majestic buildings. A rare opportunity to find a set of buildings steeped in history and at the same time completely renovated according to the rules of art, while retaining authentic elements and accents (old floors, exposed beams, bull's-eye, doors, etc.). This 350 m2 property displays all its richness and grandeur inside. Access to the residence is via a gate onto a gravelled courtyard. On the northern edge of this courtyard stands an old stone stable measuring 18/6 m, which forms a perfect rectangle with the main building.

The 8,200 m2 lawned garden, facing south, with a heated swimming pool (10/5 m), leading to the Lizonne river which borders this property, will take your breath away!!
