Owner profile
Me catching my dinner!!!
About the owner
My family bought Le Marais 15 years ago and have successfully rented it out ever since.
My father is a very keen DIY type and, thankfully, is also very good at it! He advised local artisans and project managed the redevelopment of the property from start to finish.
When my parents saw Le Marais for the first time, 'rustic', is a very good way to describe it....cows where still resident in the barn!!
Over 18 months the house was faithfully restored to its current glorious state.
As a family, we used to go to Le Marais 3 times a year. It is perfect for family holidays, big enough for everyone to have enough space, the pool is amazing and the surrounding countryside is beautiful (not to mention the food and wine).
Year purchased: 1994
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The Dordogne area is stunning. It is easy to get to from the UK and once you are there, it is a very relaxing place to spend a couple of weeks.
The local food and wine is delicious and was a large part of the reason to buy in this area.
Unique benefits of the property
With the increasing number of flights to local airports, one can be at Le Marais in under 2 hours from a UK airport.
The house is very large and can comfortably accommodate up to 11 guests.
The gardens are perfect for family holidays, large enough to kick a ball around whilst also having a few 'quiet' spots for one to escape to should the need arise...!!! The pool is one of the main selling factors of the house - it is enormous (12mx6m) and is great for games, young ones learning to swim and perfect for floating around on a lilo. It is for these, and many other reasons, that we enjoy a successful return business - averaging 50%/year. Some of our tenants have holidayed in Le Marais over 5 times!!
