Exclusive Secluded Villa: Truffle Oak Forest, Private Pool & Panoramic Lake View
Experience a unique and luxurious retreat at "Villa Les Balmes," a sanctuary of peace nestled within a private 3-acre (1.2 hectares) truffle oak forest. Located at the crossroads of the Causse Corrézien, Périgord Noir, and the Lot region, our upscale villa offers a rare harmony between high-end comfort and wild, preserved nature. The entire property is fully fenced and secure, situated in a protected natural area with no neighbors and no overlooking views. Ultimate Privacy & Freedom Lulled by the song of the cicadas throughout the summer, you will enjoy a "world of your own." Because the villa is completely hidden from outside view by the surrounding woodland, it offers absolute privacy. While we provide a classic and refined vacation experience for families and groups, this exceptional seclusion makes our home a perfect clothing-optional friendly retreat for those seeking to enjoy the pool and the park in total intimacy and serenity. Outdoor Living & Leisure: 3 Terraces, 3 Ambiances The villa is designed to embrace the sun and the views with three distinct outdoor spaces: The Main Lake Terrace: An expansive space perfect for large family dinners while watching the sunset over the water. The Forest Terrace: Located just off the kitchen, this shaded retreat offers natural coolness under the oaks—ideal for peaceful breakfasts. The Upper Solarium: A private terrace on the first floor offering a breathtaking 180° panoramic view of the lake. A Playground for All Ages Our property is a paradise for families. The 1.2-hectare park is entirely enclosed, allowing children to play and explore in total safety and freedom. The swimming pool area is exceptionally spacious—one and a half times the size of a tennis court. This large, flat limestone area is perfect for: Relaxing on comfortable sun-loungers. Playing badminton or garden games. A classic French game of pétanque (boules) with a view! The Space Capacity: Comfortably hosts up to 8 guests. Private Pool: A swimming pool framed by the forest. High-End Comfort: A spacious and elegant "cossue" villa with a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed internet, and bright, airy living spaces. Pet Friendly: Well-behaved pets are welcome to enjoy the secure, fenced park. A Strategic Hub to Explore an Exceptional Region "Villa Les Balmes" is the perfect gateway to discover the most beautiful sites of Southwest France: Southern Corrèze: Brive-la-Gaillarde (famous market), Collonges-la-Rouge, Turenne, Meyssac, and the riverside beauties of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne and Argentat. Périgord Noir: The medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda, and the iconic villages of La Roque-Gageac and Beynac. The Lot Region: The clifftop village of Rocamadour and the spectacular Gouffre de Padirac.
