Why the Dordogne/Charente border region?
The borders of the Dordogne, Limousin and Charente offer the opportunity to explore the beautiful villages of the northern Dordogne such as Piégut and the diverse landscapes of these very different areas. Francophiles will love the river towns, historic sights, unspoiled countryside and superb markets, cuisine and wine (and cognac). This is a place to enjoy the slower pace of French life and unwind for a week or two. Cognac-tasting is of course a 'must' in these parts and there are plenty of distilleries open to the public. Options for days out are plentiful and varied with visits to Cognac and Angouleme recommended.
Beautifully-presented & well-equipped 5 bedroom farmhouse with fenced and heated pool, all in extensive grounds of 30 acres
Le Petit Mas enjoys a glorious hilltop setting, with miles of countryside spread out before you and vineyards above. This tranquil spot is something of a well-kept secret.
Every floor of this three-level building is an attractive combination of antique furnishings, rustic homely touches and contemporary art, all offset by exposed beams and solid stonework. An airy living room complete with baby grand piano and a traditional well-equipped farmhouse kitchen help make this an ideal base for extended families, who may have brought grandparents along.

The pool terrace is walled on three sides, accessed from the house via the gated blue fence (pictured, with the house in the background). The pool area features a shaded veranda plus the generously-sized pool itself: 15m x 6m (depth 0.7m – 2m), fenced, Roman steps, open June to mid-September, pool is heated to 25°C.
