In the Dordogne region of south west France, the setting of this beautiful holiday home is truly breath-taking! Surrounded by 42 acres of private parkland and woodland, Peycibeau is a magnificent, traditional stone-built manor-house, which offers that rare opportunity for a perfectly relaxing holiday in absolute seclusion and tranquility, whilst being only 8km away from the famous medieval town of Sarlat. With 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms - sleeping 14 comfortably (and up to 18)- this stylishly furnished, light and spacious grande-maison is ideal for special family occasions, or joint holidays for groups of friends or 3/4 families. One of the property's many features, is the newly built pool-house, near to the heated swimming pool and with panoramic views over the landscape, it offers a steam-shower room for the convenience of the pool, and also a bar, a bread-oven and large dining area - perfect for alfresco living on long summer days! The accomodation in the main part of the house consists of 4 bedrooms upstairs (2 of which are adjoining) with two bathrooms. There is one large family bedroom downstairs, with double bed and sofabed, an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. The entrance hall with beautiful marble floor has a grand staircase. Double doors lead into the elegantly furnished morning room, whilst the main reception room, very spacious and stylishly furnished, incorporates a dining area, sitting-room area and a grand piano. All of the ground floor rooms have french doors opening out into the walled lavender and rose garden. The fully-equipped kitchen, with country style units and granite worktops, also has a dining area. Adjoining the main house is a self-contained apartment(all on ground level), which has its own open-plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom. There are various outside terraces, gardens and seating areas - even a tree-house! Electric gates to the property ensure complete seclusion, and guests - children and adults alike - may take advantage of the acres of peaceful Peycibeau countryside. The land is a haven for wild-life. A family of deer often graze in the park, along with red squirrels and rabbits. There are some beautiful birds, including buzzards, woodpeckers and owls, and many species of butterflies and insects. Often on a summer’s evening a hot-air balloon will gracefully pass along the river valley - always a lovely sight!
