Owner profile
About the owner
Keith and I moved to France in September 2010 after a few years of looking for the right property. We wanted a farmhouse that had both character, barns and space all of which we found in our property. The 1200m sq lake was a bonus as it is stocked with a variety of fish. We have also found that this area has lots to offer even out of season so living here is busy and enjoyable all year round.
We are also willing to let for weekends by separate negotiation if required.
Year purchased: 2010
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We love this area as it has easy access to Bergerac and Bordeaux airports, the railway stations also at Bergerac and Bordeaux and the smaller station at Lalinde. It is close to the Dordogne river and lots of pretty medieval towns. There are plenty of places within a short distance for visitors, friends and family to visit.
Unique benefits of the property
We are ideally situated being only a few minutes from the villages of Lanquais, Couze and Lalinde all offering a variety of amenities. We love the outdoors and walking and cycling are ideal from our property as there are a variety of good routes to follow. Having the lake adds to the enjoyment of our property in a peaceful setting.
