Le Cube

About this property

With striking geometric lines and an elevated position overlooking the northern Dordogne countryside, Le Cube is a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece that redefines rural luxury.

Conceived by an internationally renowned architect, this bold, contemporary retreat rises from its hillside setting to command panoramic views of the valley below. From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of sophistication thanks to its form, light and space.

Spread across three levels and crowned by a roof terrace, the house is built for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Large glass doors flood the open-plan living area with natural light, opening onto a decked terrace that becomes part of the home itself. Here, long al-fresco lunches stretch into dinners on warm summer evenings, framed by gorgeous countryside views. The heart of the house features a sleek kitchen with central island, a lounge with wood-burning stove for cooler evenings alongside interesting furnishings and artwork.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms are distributed across the upper and lower levels, offering privacy and flexibility for families or friends travelling together. One bedroom, with its four-poster bed, air-conditioning and ensuite bathroom, is perched on the first floor whilst two further bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite) are tucked into the lower level with direct garden access, sharing a convenient kitchenette.

Outside, the scene is equally impressive. On a raised terrace above the grounds below, the heated infinity pool stretches out toward the horizon, flanked by sun loungers and a shaded seating area for slow afternoons. Enclosed within several acres of private woodland and lawns, the grounds below invite both exploration and quiet reflection with an abundance of wildlife.

Le Cube lies just a short stroll from the village of Lusignac, where a charming café bar/restaurant offers simple pleasures within walking distance. A short drive brings you to Saint-Séverin or Verteillac for daily essentials and lively local markets, while the town of Ribérac, only fifteen minutes away, hosts cultural events, excellent dining and a famous Friday morning market. For deeper discoveries, Périgueux is under an hour away with its vibrant medieval heart and wider amenities or venture south to Bergerac and its vineyards beside the Dordogne River.

For those in search of a modern escape in the authentic French countryside, Le Cube offers a rare combination: bold design and the soul-stirring beauty of the Dordogne at your feet. 

Set in several acres of private grounds, Le Cube offers a stunning escape in the heart of the northern Dordogne countryside just a short walk along the country road (no pavement) from the sleepy village of Lusignac with its café-bar/restaurant. With extensive views, this architect-designed villa balances modern style with rural authenticity and an abundance of wildlife all around you.

Within a ten-minute drive lie the vibrant villages of Saint-Séverin (5km) and Verteillac (6.5km), where you'll find everything from bakeries to bustling cafés, restaurants and local supermarkets. For a deeper dive into local life, Ribérac, just 15 minutes away, is known for its cultural events, excellent dining options and famous Friday morning market.

Cultural and historical gems abound nearby. The pretty riverside village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (14km), officially one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, boasts an extraordinary monolithic church carved into the rock and a vibrant square lined with cafés. History lovers will relish visits to the Château de Bourdeilles (27km) and the fairytale town of Brantôme en Périgord (41km), where the abbey and riverside setting make for a perfect day trip.

Further afield, the medieval streets and Roman heritage of Périgueux (48km) await, offering wonderful markets and gourmet restaurants just under an hour from your doorstep.

For wine aficionados and explorers alike, day trips to the world-renowned vineyards of Saint-Émilion (75km) or the charming riverside town of Bergerac (62km) offer the chance to sample some of the region’s finest vintages amidst stunning countryside.
