Grand Buc (barn)

Home description

Situated in the lot-et-garonne, close to the Dordogne border, this stunning property was carefully and lovingly restored in early 2004. It retains many original features, including oak beams and exposed stonewalls, and is decorated to a very high standard throughout. It is an extremely spacious property, comfortably housing 10 people. There are 2 double bedrooms and 3 twin bedrooms, with a cot and additional travel cot available on request. You will never feel cramped! Set in one and a half hectares of private land, it boasts a huge west facing terrace overlooking a secluded swimming pool. The house is set in a beautiful location, surrounded by fields in every direction. There are no direct neighbours and one is very much 'by themselves'. The surrounding area belongs to the local farmer, if any noise or movement is seen, it is most probably in the form of cow wandering into a nearby field! If one does feel like company, they can follow a path up to the farm, where they will find the farmer's mother selling fresh eggs.

Nearby are the charming bastide market towns of Eymet and Castillonnes, along with the international 'chateau des vigiers' golf course, just half an hours drive away. Other nearby activities include canoeing, horse riding, fishing and go-karting, along with a wealth of medieval market towns, chateaux and vineyards all of which deserve a visit.

These are well worth a visit, and joining in with the hustle and bustle of the locals is always entertaining!

GOLF - Situated approximately 35 minutes drive away is the international golf course 'Chateaux les Vigiers'. Set amidst plum trees, oak woods, lakes and vineyards it boasts a superb 18 hole par 72 golf course and driving range.

It also has 6 covered and 6 open air driving ranges, a putting green, a chipping green and a practice bunker - clearly making it a suitable club for all standards.

For those who wish to abstain from the golf, there is a new health and beauty spa consisting of a gym, sauna, jacuzzi and steam bath and, once tired of that, there are two fantastic restaurants! Also nearby Grandbuc (approximately 20 minutes drive away) is the less expensive 'Golf de Barthe' golf course.

It is a challenging course with a mix of undulating fairways, small lakes, water hazards, doglegs, trees and woods. There is a pleasant club house selling drinks, snacks and lunches.
