Description

Opportunity is knocking...all the way from the French Countryside!


A set of beautiful cottages located in the Dordogne region are being opened to the winning bidder.


Imagine, spending an entire week in historic stone-walled homes built 300 years ago, yet with modern kitchen and bath amenities and pastoral views of farms and lakesides.


The seven-acre retreat is located 1 1/2 hours east of Bordeaux in a small country village near the towns of Eymet and Bergerac.


Upon arrival, neighbors who live in this charming setting year-round will welcome you and provide information about the area.


This fantastic vacation could be for a romantic getaway, a couples' getaway week of wine tasting and gourmet meals, or a fabulous family adventure.


An infinity pool with panoramic views awaits. Local farms sell fresh meats and vegetables. Castles, gorgeous views, and wineries are all within a short drive for touring! Your children (if you choose to bring them) will enjoy the large property and the additional exploring of pastoral France. Your possibilities are only limited by your adventurousness!
