Bouteilles St Sebastien, Dordogne
8
Bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, sleeping up to 16 people
2 swimming pools and toddlers pool
La Lande Sud is a lovely spacious house offering modern living with
character, situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty near Bouteilles St Sebastien in the Dordogne. The 2 acres of grounds are
mainly mown grass with mature trees and shrubs, and children's play area
at the top of the drive from where there are panoramic views. It is a
large, luxury house with 6 bedrooms with en-suite facilities, and 2 more
en-suite rooms in an annexe which can be used if required. The house is
ideal for large parties or smaller groups requiring more spacious
accommodation. It is also ideal for small groups celebrating events such
as special birthdays, weddings and wedding anniversaries. Catering can
be arranged with reputable chefs specialising in French cuisine.
New for 2009 is a stunning new main pool and terrace, with separate
toddlers’ pool which is also fitted with hydro massage jets for the not
so young. The pool has underwater lighting and the terrace is
illuminated for evening relaxation. There is also a second 10 x 4 metre
pool with sun terrace so that everyone can enjoy a quiet swim. Both
pools are fenced for safety.
New for 2010 – we have converted 2 upstairs bedrooms into one large new
master bedroom with new en-suite bathroom and panoramic views. Also new
for 2010 is a full size pool table in TV/games room, and air hockey and
table football in pool side games room. You enter the front door under a
covered porch into the hall. On the left there is a twin bedded room and
bathroom opposite. The hallway leads into a large dining room with
French doors opening onto the covered outside dining terrace with
barbecues. An archway from the dining room leads to the kitchen which is
fully equipped for large groups, with built in oven, hob, microwave,
dishwasher, fridge/freezer and Rayburn stove. There is a washing machine
and tumble dryer in a separate laundry room.
The dining room leads into a large sitting room with beamed ceiling,
satellite TV/DVD and video player, and wood burning stove for
comfortable winter accommodation (the house is also centrally heated).
Two sets of double doors open out onto the terrace and garden with
superb views overlooking the main swimming pool, valley and countryside.
Stairs from the sitting room lead to stunning new master bedroom with
new en suite bathroom, and panoramic views on 3 sides.
Also from the dining room, a doorway leads into the other part of the
house with second kitchen/utility room with cooker, dishwasher, washing
machine, fridge freezer and microwave, and TV/ play room with full size
pool table. Off this room is a twin bedded room with bathroom and
separate wc. A spiral staircase leads to stunning dual aspect double
bedroom with balcony and bathroom. Downstairs is a sunroom with access
to twin bedded room with bathroom, and a double room with bathroom and
French doors to a covered terrace.
From the sunroom there is also a glazed door which leads to steps up to
the second pool and terrace. In a separate single story building near the
front door there is one double room with bathroom, and a twin bedded
room with bathroom. There is a small covered terrace outside this
annexe.
Situated in a perfect setting on a hillside with panoramic views of the
valley and hills beyond, the property is close to the small hamlets of Bouteilles St Sebastien, St Paul Lizonnne and Palluaud which have
restaurants and bars. It is also 5 kms from St Severin and Verteillac,
which have a wide range of shops and amenities. The old market towns of
Riberac and Aubeterre are approximately 15 minutes away – the Friday
market in Riberac is reputedly the largest in Perigord.
The Dordogne area offers beautiful countryside, rich meadows, pine
forests, undulating countryside and meandering rivers, together with
underground caverns and caves decorated with pre-historic paintings. In
the area close to our estate at Bouteilles St Sebastien, lovely lanes
and country roads lead through a meandering valley to the picturesque
small towns of Bourdeilles and Brantome where you can wander through
peaceful lanes and cobbled streets which overlook the river. It is a
region of widely varying and dramatic scenery, the setting for
Rocamadour, a remarkable village built on the side of a cliff.
There are many castles to visit along the valley which also provides
wonderful places to relax and spend time swimming, canoeing, paddling
and enjoying a picnic of french bread, meats, cheeses and local wines.
The Dordogne is rich in castles, from the small renaissance castles such
as the Chateau des Milandes ( where Josephine Baker lived) to the mighty
fortress of Biron and there are wonderful gardens to visit such as Les
Jardins du Manoir d’Eyrignac.
There are many activities in the local area such as swimming, golf,
tennis, riding, lakes, sailing/windsurfing and fishing, and the Atlantic
coast with lovely beaches is only an hour and a half away. It is about 8
hours drive from Calais, and nearest airports are Bergerac, Angouleme
and Bordeaux.
