No.1 Lusignac was completed in 2009 despite complicated planning restrictions. It is the first house next to the mediaeval hill village of Lusignac with its walled chateau and Romanesque Church. Its' owner is an English Architect who has been working in the Dordogne for 25 years. Unashamedly modern, it is built over three floors to take advantage of the stunning location and views across the valley. There are double height spaces, luxury kitchens and bathrooms, quality fixtures and furnishings, and a roof top solarium. Walls open up merging inside with out giving direct access to the terraces and pool. The house has not been designed and built to be commercially let out for holidays, so discerning, careful guests are invited to come and enjoy this wonderful home.
The house has been designed over three floors. The ground floor also works well as a separate flat as it is self contained and has a further kitchenette with an extra fridge, hob and microwave. The four poster bedroom suite and study are on the top floor with access to the roof terrace from the study area. The entrance, living/kitchen/cloaks/terraces and pool are on the middle level with the other 3 bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground level.
The house is constructed within a clearing of an oak wood on a steeply sloping site. The gardens are relatively small - you couldn't play football for example - but the views are splendid. The 12 x 3m horizon pool faces the view and is perfect for those early morning laps! The terracing around the house has been designed as a series of outside rooms, some covered, and some by the pool, Some timber decked, some paved and some 'big brother fake grass'! There are 2 bikes (may need to pump up the tyres) loungers, outside furniture, tables and chairs, parasols and garden lighting. The electric entrance gates give way to a macadam drive and ample parking for up to 4 cars.
River beaches can be found at the huge inland lake of Jamaye (25 min drive) or the river beaches of Aubeterre (20 mins) or St Aulaye (25 mins). The coastal beaches of Royan or Arcachon are about 2 hours drive.
9 hole golf course about 6 miles.
18 holes at Angouleme or Perigueux.
About 5 hours drive to the Pyrenees.
Use of a car is pretty essential. Fly to Bergerac (closest) or Bordeaux or Limoges. Lusignac is about a 6 hour drive from St Malo, 8 from Calais.
The house is on the edge of Lusignac village but most shopping needs can be found in the villages of Verteillac or St Severin, both about 10 minutes away by car. Otherwise Riberac with its' famous Friday market, is about 20 minutes away. Angouleme/Perigueux are bothe about 40 minutes. Wonderful Bordeaux is 1.5 hours. There are chateaux, old towns such as Brantome/Bordeilles, vinyards, rivers and canoeing, tennis, microlight flying (the other side of Lusignac) and of course the gastronomy.
