Highlights of the location:
- Situated in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the Périgord Noir, with extremely quick access to the most beautiful historic sites and on-site sporting activities (swimming, canoeing, mountain biking, hot-air ballooning, hiking and much more). In the village, 150 metres from the house: the take-off point for hot-air balloon flights – you’ll see them every day when the weather is suitable for flying. Gourmet restaurants and traditional shops are just a stone’s throw away. Access to the Roman road behind the house, a great starting point for walks. The River Dordogne is 1 km away.
The property is situated in Saint Vincent de Cosse, 12 km from Sarlat-la-Caneda, a small village in the heart of the Valley of the Castles. Within 6 km of the house are five exceptional castles: Beynac, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Les Milandes and La Roque-Gageac.
