The estate comprises an early 16th century manor house, an outbuilding and a building used as garages. All set in 5835 m² of land.
The manor house (numerous rooms with magnificent views over the Dordogne):
Ground floor: the hall gives access (stone door pediment dated and engraved 1507) to a magnificent bright living room with fireplace (42m²), vast kitchen with inglenook fireplace of 40m² with access to terrace and garden, a small boudoir/study of 9m² and 2 wc.
1st floor: access to the 1st floor is via a beautiful stone staircase and the corridor leads you to two spacious bedrooms with cushioned windows (43m² and 46m²) and a bathroom with wc of 13m². One of the fireplaces on the first floor features polychrome decoration that is probably original.
Second floor: beam and panelled corridor, 4 bedrooms including a 26m² bedroom (panelled wall and ceiling), a 16m² bedroom and a 14m² bedroom. A bathroom with toilet.
The manor house has 4 fireplaces and 2 inglenook fireplaces and the wooden floors are solid wood.

Heating system: Oil-fired central heating and some electric heating.
Sewage system: Maintained septic tank.
Revised Travassac slate roof. Single-glazed windows.
The outbuilding: on the ground floor, a large room used as a garage or workshop (35 m²), an 11 m² bedroom and a room used as a utility room with a shower and space for the oil-fired boiler and its 5000 litre tank.
On the first floor: a vast 68 m² room under the roof.
Travassac slate roof.
Below and alongside the road, a 40 m² garage with 3 doors for parking 3 vehicles.
The land is part meadow and part forest, with different levels: games, relaxation, walking.
Situated 10 km from Lapleau and 29 km from Egletons (all amenities). Airports: Aurillac (58km) and Brive (70km)
History of the property: the manor house is part of the life of the gabariers and fishermen of the Dordogne. The tower's frontispiece, dated 1507, depicts a fish in the Dordogne, symbolising the lords' link with the town's river activities.
Since the 16th century, the estate has belonged to a number of families of noble or notable status, such as the de Monamy family (16th century), the du Solier family (18th century) and the Chanfeuil family (19th-20th centuries), all of whom were involved in the Dordogne fishing and barging trade. It was bought in 1963 by the grandparents of the current owners, a Hungarian immigrant couple who had fled the totalitarian regime in 1949.
Having fallen in love with the Dordogne valley and fallen under the spell of the uninterrupted view of the river from the manor's tower, they embarked on a major restoration project to restore the site, which had fallen into disuse, to its former beauty and unique charm.
The grandmother of the current owners wanted to register the manor house as a Historic Monument.
