About this property
Country retreat in the midst of Dordogne's vineyards
An old farmworker's cottage refurbished in a rustic style but with modern amenities, combined recently with a nineteenth century style shepherd's hut. Both are located in their own gardens, with an ample area in front for outdoor dining in front of the gîte.
The kitchen retains original features, including a stone sink but also includes a gas cooker and refrigerator. The handmade oak table easily seats eight.
The shepherds hut is sited on a lower lawn with views of its own towards the stream. It is simply furnished with a double-bed and drop-leaf table. Anyone sleeping here gains a restful retreat but would need to share the bathroom facilities in the gîte itself.
The property is part of a larger group of farm buildings, which now sits among huge fruit trees and well-loved flower gardens. At the bottom of the garden is the Gardonnette stream, shrouded in mature poplars and oaks; a ramblers paradise.
The gîte is set some distance from the main house and has 2 bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bathroom.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Maurice Halder

While originally coming from New Zealand I have now been away from the country almost as long as I lived in it. Teaching has allowed me to travel work and get to know people in a wide range of places all over the planet. In between postings to various countries in Asia the UK has been home until very recently when we made the move across to France to try something new.
Why they chose this property
We were on the hunt for the quintessential French stone farmhouse and think we found it, Nestled in its own mature orchard with the garden sloping down to a stream, the house and its ancient farm buildings just seemed like a dream come true. While it has taken a some work to update the house and our gîte, we have not lost our initial enthusiasm and still take great pleasure in the house and its surroundings.
What makes this property unique
An oasis of calm, the house and gîte are cool in the summer when the Dordogne is baked by the sun. But if the desire to be outside gets too much then there is always the shade of the 300 year old Lebanese cedar.
