Las Cabanes

About this property

At the end of a tree-lined drive, Las Cabanes reveals itself as a timeless holiday retreat in the heart of the Dordogne countryside, close to the Lot-et-Garonne border. Set within twelve acres of gardens, meadows and woodland, this traditional stone-built home captures the beauty of rural France, offering total privacy and gorgeous views. With the turrets of Château de Biron peeking over the treetops, there is a strong sense of place here - unspoilt, authentic and wonderfully characterful.

Inside, Las Cabanes embraces a warm, farmhouse feel. The split-level living and dining space features exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and pretty tiled flooring. The rustic kitchen, with its farmhouse table and direct access to the terrace, invites slow breakfasts and easy summer suppers. A mezzanine snug with TV provides a cosy spot to unwind, while four comfortable bedrooms, each with garden access, accommodate up to 8 guests with ease.

Wake to the gentle sounds of the countryside, enjoy al-fresco breakfast, then cool off in the private 11-metre pool before challenging your companions to a game of boules. Two shaded terraces offer spaces to dine under the stars or sip local wine on warm summer evenings.

Las Cabanes enjoys a wonderfully central location for exploring both the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne. Just 2km away lies the village of Biron, where the medieval château, one of the most famous castles in France, invites discovery and a small épicerie supplies fresh bread and essentials.

The historic bastide town of Monpazier, only ten minutes by car, offers beautifully preserved arcades, weekly markets and a selection of excellent cafés and restaurants. Further afield, Monflanquin and Villeréal both promise rewarding trips with their cobbled streets and sweeping views or head further afield to the likes of Bergerac and Sarlat-la-Canéda for deeper exploration.

For those seeking tradition, simplicity and true Dordogne charm, Las Cabanes offers an relaxed escape in one of France’s most treasured regions.

Set in the open countryside just beyond the village of Biron, Las Cabanes enjoys a secluded setting with glorious views of rural Dordogne, close to the Lot-et-Garonne border. With no neighbours in sight, this rural location is ideal for those seeking privacy and a true escape to nature.

The nearest village is Biron (2.2km) where you’ll find a grocery store (with bread). Most notable is the Château de Biron, one of France’s most impressive castles, where guided tours bring its rich history to life – you can book ahead.

For broader amenities, the magnificent 13th-century town of Monpazier (7.5km) lies just 10 minutes away by car. Frequently cited among France’s most beautiful towns, Monpazier’s arcaded market square, bustling cafés, independent shops and regular cultural events make it an unforgettable local highlight.

A short drive south takes you to the medieval hilltop town of Monflanquin (16.5km), with its panoramic views, winding streets and vibrant Thursday market – all part of its designation as one of “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.” Nearby Villeréal (11km) offers a similarly charming experience with half-timbered buildings, a thriving weekly market and all the amenities you might need during your stay.

Further afield, discover the Dordogne’s rich variety of picturesque villages and cultural gems. Spend a Sunday morning wandering Issigeac’s famed market just half an hour away, dine in style in Trémolat’s Michelin-starred Le Vieux Logis (36km), or relax by the water’s edge in the riverside village of Limeuil (34km).

Domme (50km), dramatically perched above the Dordogne River, promises panoramic views and cobbled streets steeped in history, not far from boat trips and canoeing opportunities. For further day trips, the historic towns of Bergerac (45km) and Sarlat-la-Canéda (56km) offer vibrant atmospheres, heritage architecture and some of the region’s best gastronomy.
