5 Star Property With Pool

Description

La Chouette (The Owl), is a beautiful, luxurious Perigordine farmhouse, situated in a peaceful elevated south facing position, with woodland, amazing views, and surrounded by wildlife, including deer, hare, woodpeckers, birds of prey, and of course Owls. The property is private, and not overlooked, and is for your own exclusive use.

Rarely do you find a house that is so centrally located, within 15 mins of Sarlat, Domme, the Dordogne River, Beynac, La Roque Gageac, Chateau Castelnaud, etc., while offering so much peace and tranquillity to experience the true French country lifestyle. 2 mins down the hill by car in Grolejac is a Butcher, Bakery, Supermarket, and 3 restaurants. You can also walk to a lovely rustic french restaurant which takes about 15 mins (1km), La Borie Blanche, copy and paste this url https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g580128-d2291931-Reviews-La_Borie_Blanche-Domme_Dordogne_Aquitaine.html to see the TripAdvisor reviews!

The private 12m x 5m Heated Salt Water Pool is crystal clear and an absolute joy. So often we have rented a gite with a pool and found it just isn’t warm enough to swim in…but no worries here with the heating. It is fenced, with a gate that is difficult to open for children, and there is also a pool alarm. There are 8 comfortable sun beds, and pool towels provided. The outside kitchen near the pool offers a large quality BBQ, working area, sink, and fridge, along with an undercover terrace with dining table for 8 people. The pool is equipped with underwater lighting which is a dream to look at on a late summer evening. Next to the pool is a fully equipped shower room, wc and wash basin, enabling you to shower after your last swim, without having to drag yourself away from the pool…children seem to love this also, then you’re ready for the BBQ and a glass of wine!

Full of French charm and character, La Chouette offers elegant light and bright accommodation, but keeping a warm & homely feel, offering 4 individual bedrooms (3 x King Size Beds, 1 x Twin 3ft Beds), an en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower to the King size bedroom downstairs, 3 further bedrooms upstairs, and another shower room. Including the fully equipped shower room near the pool, there are 3 bath/shower rooms in total. The stylish, well equipped kitchen with stone work surfaces is lovely to work in, with lots of recipe books to ponder over, and larder items available for your use, without having to buy them from the supermarket and only using them once! It has doors to the outside terrace, and a rather posh Lacanche range cooker. The large living/dining room has a log burner if needed out of season, and French doors onto the terrace. Downstairs you will also find a utility room with washer and dryer, and at the other side of the hall a separate WC, with bidet and wash hand basin. The TV has English channels.

For children you can visit a castle and become a Knight or Damsel, visit Eagles rock birds of prey (where they walk on your head, and have Griffon Vultures with a 10’ wing span!), the Aquarium at Le Bugue where they also have Anacondas and pythons, and fish you can stroke, Horse Riding, Paint Balling, Kayaking, Canoeing, Tree Top Trekking, Cycling, Rock Climbing, Pot Holing, Caves, Gardens at Marqueyssac on Thursday night lit with candles etc.

La Chouette is beautifully furnished with a mix of new and old, Laura Ashley, White Company, Voyage Maison, mixed with some antique furniture and pleasing artwork, we’re sure you will find it a very comfortable, relaxing place to spend your holiday, and hope you can treat it as your home for the duration of your stay.
