6-bed country house & lake, Nastringues, Dordogne.
Situated in a fantastic hilltop position with views down to the private lake & across the surrounding countryside, this is a really interesting collection of buildings and the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a sun-downer or two. The 6-bed property has 8 hectares of land, above ground swimming pool, two workshops (one with wood-burning stove), a second house to renovate and two shelters in the meadows, ideal for horses or free-range children. Facing out west, the views across the lake are fabulous, and the views from the lake back up to the house are equally as appealing! If you are looking for an equestrian property, the land is ideal for horses and there are already two shelters down in the meadows. Originally built in 1860, the house is Girondine in style with lots of the original character features intact. The rooms are large, light and spacious. There is a total 418m2 habitable space.
