Beaux Villages Immobilier presents this rare semi-troglodyte residence, excavated from the ancient fort on La Roque Gageac cliff. It has a cave dating back 15,000 years, from which hundreds of tools and bones were retrieved and are currently on display at the Prehistoric museum in Les Eyzies. The cave is used as a three-dimensional space for meditation and inspiration, as described in the book "L'Homme dans la Grotte". Perched on a hillside with incredible views of the Dordogne River, Domme, and Château de Castelnaud, this property is just a few steps from two sandy beaches. Enjoy riverside walks or canoe trips past France's famous 5 Châteaux. During the Summer, hot-air balloons add to the experience. Perfect for a family home or holiday rental (subject to necessary permissions), amenities and shops are within 5 minutes. For cultural life, it's a short 9-minute drive to Sarlat, a UNESCO-listed Medieval town. The house is constructed on three levels, each offering a breathtaking view. On the garden level, a storage area also serves as a technical crawl space and includes a cellar room that is ripe for renovation (subject to necessary permissions). The living room, which features a large wood-burning stove, an office, a bathroom with WC, a cellar, a storage room and a dining room, is naturally illuminated by double-glazed windows and doors that open onto a spacious front terrace. This terrace is complemented by a south-facing metal pergola that offers an amazing view. Additionally, there is a separate kitchen and storage room with access to a cliff-wall covered terrace equipped with a BBQ and a summer kitchen, ideal for outdoor meals by the side garden, with access to the path leading to the cave. The first floor and attic accommodate four bedrooms. In the right wing, there is a landing, two bedrooms and a shower room with WC. Above in the attic, there is a landing and an en suite bedroom with WC. In the left wing, there is an attic en suite with a shower room and WC.
