Great Fortune

Great Fortune: Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In a previous lifetime, this home served as a forge for local craftsmen. Now it exists as a rural sanctuary – thoughtfully restored to inspire total relaxation in the heart of the Périgord noir.

From the blue shutters and rustic stone to the traditional features and beautiful views, every detail evokes the unique charm of this setting. And whether you’re looking for a quiet country escape or an action-packed adventure, you’ll find everything you could need to settle in and make this space your own.

Wake up to the sweet sound of birdsong, take a refreshing dip in the pool, enjoy family fun in the games room and pour your favourite drinks at the bar. However you spend your time here, it’s the perfect setting to celebrate life’s special moments.

For adventures further afield, days can be spent hiking through the surrounding forest, enjoying leisurely strolls and picnics on the shores of Lac du Coucou (6km), admiring Châteaus, caves and browsing colourful market stalls in Coubjours. And when you’re ready for total rest and relaxation, this home welcomes you to experience the magic of French living with laid-back evening drinks and barbecue meals in the garden.
