Are you looking for peace and nature? The site is a very preserved valley, registered as an LPO reserve, far from houses and roads. Below is a river where a grey heron, kingfishers, coypus, crayfish live and where all the surrounding fauna comes to drink (roe deer, foxes, martens, etc.).

For children, friendly ewes, chickens to feed, rabbits in semi-freedom and 3 very affectionate cats even if they do not have access inside the house.
More ferry, deer can also come and graze on the meadow opposite the house, early in the morning, or foxes in search of game.

On the site is also the owners' house, whose living space is on the opposite side, ensuring everyone's privacy.

THE SURROUNDINGS:

The small village of Monsac is accessible a few minutes on foot or by bike.

Beaumont and Issigeac, magnificent bastides and medieval villages typical of the Périgord, are shopping villages 10 minutes by car from the house. Markets every Tuesday and Sunday. Small food shops, restaurants, cafes. As well as a large Intermarché in Beaumont or Lalinde for basic products or large fill-ups, with an adjoining petrol station.

In the immediate vicinity, there are many sites to explore such as the castles of Biron, Campagne, Bridoire (with organised activities) and medieval villages (Issigeac, Lanquais, Beaumontois en Périgord, Molières, Montferrand-du-Périgord, Saint-Avit-Sénieur, the Abbey of Cadouin, Villeréal, Monpazier...).
Possibility to canoe on the Dordogne, departure from nearby sites. Climbing sites nearby.
Possibility of courses or horseback riding in a nearby village.
The Lascaux caves are 1h20 from the cottage, other caves are to be visited in the vicinity closer (Maxange for example), as well as the prehistoric sites of the Vallée de l'Homme (Vézère).
The Panoramic Gardens of Limeuil are a charming site also to visit.
