Authentic
This holiday home has an authentic living room with beamed ceiling and lovely fireplace, a modern kitchen and 2 bedrooms with lovely, spacious double beds (plus an extra bed in the main bedroom). The bathroom has a shower and toilet. In the pigeonnier - the converted dovecote in the garden - is the 3rd bedroom with its own shower and toilet.
Tasteful interior
The house was newly and tastefully furnished in 2020. In the modern semi-open kitchen -
with oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and double sink - you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from freshly ground beans. Or sit in the living room by the wood stove that heats the whole house with hot air.
Converted dovecote
Via the original wooden staircase you reach the landing that provides access to a large spacious bedroom - with a double bed of 1.80 x 2.00 m and a single bed - and the smaller bedroom with a double bed - 1.60 x 2.00 m. On the bathroom with underfloor heating : a walk-in shower, toilet and large sink. The converted pigeonnier - dovecote - is about 10 meters from the house and has a bedroom (double bed 1.40 x 2.00 m. ) and a private shower and toilet.
Jardin and swimming pool
In the garden landscaped by a landscape architect - full of fruit trees, flowers and shrubs - is the swimming pool of 8 x 4 meters. Maximum depth: 1.40 meters and secured with a cover in accordance with French safety standards. Around the pool is a spacious terrace with sun loungers where you can enjoy nature. Is it getting too hot? Then the parasol or the cherry tree offers sufficient shade. Or the hanging chair under the tree.
Large barn
In the large barn you can play table tennis and even light a large fire. The complex has several covered terraces, an outdoor kitchen and an open attic above the old pigsty (now the small barn).
Environment
You can easily explore the Dordogne from our holiday home Maison Lavaud Jacquot. But the departments of Haute-Vienne and Correze are also less than 15 minutes away by car.
- For example, the cozy Hautefort, Excideuil or Perigueux (Dordogne), Saint Yrieix la Perche (Haute-Vienne), the famous horse town of Arnac-Pompadour or Ségur le Chateau (Correze), officially crowned one of the 100 most beautiful villages in France.
- The area is hilly, with nice towns and villages everywhere, where parties, flea markets and food markets are often organized in the summer. In the (summer) season, Le Marche des producteurs takes place in Payzac on Friday, in St. Yrieix la Perche on Wednesday and in Ségur le Chateau on Monday. Long tables where you can eat regional products. Of course with music.
- In Payzac there is a small supermarket (with products from local farmers), bakery, cafe with terrace, hairdresser, doctor and pharmacy. St Yrieix la Perche (15 minutes) is larger and has a nice Intermarche. A large SuperU is a 20 minute drive away in Excideuil.
Besides walking (there are several hiking trails from the house) and cycling, you can also enjoy water sports in the Lac de Rouffiac (15 minutes). It is a large forest lake in which you can swim, canoe and even water ski. There is a nice playground for children on the lake beach.
golf
About a 15-20 minute drive away is a beautiful 9-hole golf course - under Dutch management: Golf Domaine d'Essendiéras (Excideuil). You can also enjoy a delicious meal in the beautiful castle.
