Maison Arcadienne

About this property

Set within 2.2 hectares of wooded grounds, Maison Arcadienne is a classic Périgourdine home where space privacy and nature shape the rhythm of the stay, just a short drive from Limeuil and the Dordogne River. At the heart of the garden, the generous swimming pool draws everyone outdoors, its shaded terrace offering welcome respite during long, sun-filled afternoons.

Inside, the house balances character with traditional comfort. A bright entrance hall leads into the main living areas, creating an easy flow for shared moments. The main sitting room is arranged for relaxation, with comfy sofas and an upright piano adding a touch of personality. A second, cosier lounge provides a quieter space to unwind in the evening with its TV. The fully equipped kitchen is designed for convivial cooking and opens onto a dining room with direct access to two terraces, one softened by trailing wisteria. A contemporary bathroom and practical laundry area complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms accommodate up to 8 guests with ease. One offers a king-size double bed, another provides two double beds arranged across a particularly spacious room, while the third is ideal for children with two singles. A family bathroom serves this level, and younger guests will appreciate the dedicated area with a games console.

Outdoors, the grounds invite you to choose your perfect spot throughout the day, whether that is sunbathing beside the pool, relaxing on the garden terrace or gathering beneath the wisteria as evening falls. There is a charcoal barbecue for wonderful al-fresco meals.

Maison Arcadienne is ideally placed in the Dordogne countryside, surrounded by woodland yet within easy reach of some of the region’s most celebrated villages. The riverside beauty of Limeuil lies just a short drive away, while Le Buisson-de-Cadouin offers amenities everyday needs. Canoeing on the Dordogne, forest walks and visits to historic towns such as Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies are all close at hand, making this a rewarding base for both relaxation and discovery.

Set in the heart of the Dordogne countryside, Maison Arcadienne enjoys a wonderful rural position surrounded by woodland and beautiful grounds, only a short drive from the banks of the Dordogne and the picture-perfect village of Limeuil, known as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. It’s an idyllic base for guests seeking both relaxation and easy access to some of the region’s most celebrated sights.

The enchanting riverside village of Limeuil (5.5km) sits at the meeting point of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers, famed for its cobbled lanes and elevated gardens with sweeping views. For everyday essentials, cafés and a broader choice of shops, head to Le Bugue (5.5km) by the banks of the Vézère or Le Buisson-de-Cadouin (6.5km) near the Dordogne River. 

Outdoor adventures are close at hand, with canoeing and kayaking readily available along the Dordogne and Vézère rivers, providing a relaxed way to explore the scenery from the water. On land, the Dordogne countryside lends itself to lovely walks through forests, valleys and across gentle hills, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the peaceful natural setting.

The area is also perfectly placed for discovering some of the Dordogne’s most beautiful villages. Saint-Cyprien (10km) charms with its historic abbey and bustling weekly market, while the iconic clifftop village of Domme (31km) offers dramatic views over the Dordogne valley. La Roque-Gageac (25km), with its honey-coloured houses pressed against the rock face, and the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda (30km) are both unmissable.

Prehistory and natural beauty converge in the Vézère valley and Les Eyzies (15km), renowned for their caves, rock shelters and fascinating museums, making Maison Arcadienne a superb base for exploring this richly layered region.
