About this property
Manoir de Fouilloux, the original manor house of a tiny Dordogne hamlet, has been beautifully restored to its former glory, blending historic character with stylish modern comfort. Set at the end of a long private drive, the property sits within 5 acres of gardens with mature trees and a young orchard. At the front, a large terrace spans the width of the house, offering dining and seating areas overlooking the heated pool, sun terrace with loungers, and a shaded hot tub for six. The rear courtyard, designed in a Moroccan style, features a central water fountain, a fully equipped summer kitchen, and a shaded dining area.
The single-storey main house includes a farmhouse-style kitchen, a living room, a dining hall, and three en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with an adjoining daybed. A mezzanine gym is set in the adjoining barn, while the charming courtyard garden house offers a living room and an additional en-suite bedroom. Just 5 minutes from Saint-Aulaye with its shops, cafés, and restaurants, the manoir is perfectly placed for excursions to Saint-Émilion’s vineyards or the cultural treasures of Bordeaux.
Manoir de Fouilloux enjoys a beautiful setting in a small hamlet between Périgueux and Bordeaux, offering the charm of rural France with easy access to vibrant towns and cultural landmarks. Just 5 minutes away, Saint-Aulaye provides all essentials, from a bakery and café bars to restaurants, a pizzeria, supermarket, and 24-hour garage, while the market town of Ribérac, 15 minutes away, offers further dining options and amenities. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at Golf d’Aubeterre, only 14 km away.
For sightseeing, the picturesque riverside town of Brantôme, known as the “Venice of the Périgord,” is perfect for boat trips, historic architecture, and riverside dining. Wine lovers will appreciate the proximity to Saint-Émilion, a unesco-listed wine town with cobbled streets, medieval monuments, and world-class vineyards. A longer day trip to Bordeaux offers a wealth of shops, museums, and cultural treasures. The Dordogne region is also famed for its local delicacies, from foie gras and truffles to walnut pastries and fine wines, making every meal part of the holiday experience.
