This house, built in 1897, was once a fishery - water from the Dordogne River was channeled through pipes to fill the six basins which today remain as traces of the past. A new owner can leave them as they are, fill them with soil, or (subject to permissions) create a pond, install a (natural) swimming pool, build underground greenhouses, fence off the area for animals or install staircaises, bridges, trampolines and zip lines. It would also be possible to build a treehouse amongst the many trees. This property was a ruin (see photo) for years and has been completely renovated (2013-2015) by local artisans. An architect has designed the wooden extension alongside the house to enlarge the living space. It features a large fitted kitchen and dining room with a wood-burning stove, perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere in the winter. Two glass doors in the kitchen give access to a large east-facing raised terrace overlooking the garden. The south-facing veranda features sliding glass doors that let in the surrounding nature. Outside, there's a wooden staircase and a ramp to allow ground level access to the original front door at the back of the house. From here, you enter the open living room and air-conditioned parental suite. Upstairs, there are two air-conditioned bedrooms, perfect for children or guests, and a shower room with a Velux window. In front of the main entrance, the architect has created a wooden carport, which also can be used as a shaded terrace. There's a double garage attached to the house, one for a car, the other is insulated and is currently used for storage. There is room to park several cars outside in front of the garages. The house is surrounded by nature and trees and is located on a quiet path close to a park and the Dordogne River. It is merely 10 minutes from the town centre and all amenities.
