Description
Less than 5 kilometers from the centre of Gourdon, situated on a quiet lane and accessed via a private driveway, the property is ideally located within its own secluded environment and yet not too distant from the Historic town with all its commodities.
This natural estate comprising of a sumptuously modern energy efficient house that is enclosed within gentle flowing natural gardens, woodlands and freshwater ponds, has been sensitively created to ensure a harmonious organic home.
The construction of this beautiful ecological home was accomplished in 2021 using the highest quality of materials, of both modern and traditional type. The sophisticated design of the house guarantees maximal energy efficiency and thermic comfort which is achieved by substantial insulation throughout the entire building enhanced by an air source heat pump, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system. The energetic performance study illustrates to this effect.
The interior of this spacious home is constantly bathed in gentle light that is filtered through the many strategically placed windows, all of which provide a vista to the beautiful surroundings that cocoon the property.
On the ground level a vast open living space consisting of a large bespoke kitchen area that has been created using materials such as oak and slate, a spacious open dining area and sizable sitting room – majestic with its exposed oak beams. The floor to ceiling sliding doors leads out on to the covered veranda and then further onto the convivial terrace area. Continuing through the ground level, you will discover a large parental suite that consists of a dressing room, a splendid bathroom and a large bedroom that boasts a large glass sliding door facing the bed which provides a beautiful visual that overlooks the gently descending gardens and woodlands - a truly stunning view when you awake whatever the season may be. Leading off from the open living area you will enter a corridor (doubling as practical storage area with bespoke oak cupboards) which leads to a charming bureau. The corridor continues further to join up with the summer kitchen/utility room, large workshop with internal access to the double garage area. No expense has been spared to ensure that each area has been created using elegant and organic materials.
Ascending to the first floor of the house, two further spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom have been completed using the same design style and high-quality materials that adorn the ground level. The Sisal floor covering, oak furnishings and beautiful lighting all ensure that the upstairs space is equally impressive.
As you travel from room to room in this house, you will appreciate the fluidity of the home, the elegant design, the beautiful natural light, the hand forged balustrade, hand and curtain rails, the bespoke carpentry, the stone window ledges, the polished concrete floors and the majestic oak beams in the open living space all of which contribute to a refined home that is harmoniously connected from the interieur to the beautiful natural exterior that encompasses the house.
The area around the house is specifically planted with drought tolerant plants that are not irrigated. These include Sedum, Iris, salvia, nepeta, kniphofia and grasses. The large wild garden is gently led to nurture the local flora. Ponds, marshes and streams provide the perfect habitat for water Iris, marsh orchids, kingcups, bulrushes, alder and willow. The woodlands and meadows support anemones in their thousands, oxlips, hellebores, and Solomon’s seal to name but a few. A newly planted orchard of apples, cherries, quince, mirabelle and medlar, plus numerous ornamental trees to include maple, liquidamber, liriodendron, beech, sassafras and many more. This very natural habitat is home to ducks, moorhen, herons and of course dragonflies, frogs and fish…
To the delight of green fingers, you will find a lovely cabin/potting shed located next to the potager that contains raspberry canes, fruit bushes, kiwi and possibly the best asparagus bed you will ever see!
