Completed in 2021, this stunning house is a perfect example of how things could be done.

An extremely comfortable, architecturally interesting and energy efficient home. The living spaces are large and the flow of the accommodation just makes sense. The gardens are simply beautiful. Carefully curated planting around the house and a wild feel through a series of streams and ponds to the orchard.

This is a haven of peace and nature.The house is situated on a quiet lane down a private driveway with no near neighbours. However, it is still less than 5km from the centre of Gourdon, so if you have an e-bike, you'll be able to pick up the morning croissants in no time.The windows are a major feature throughout the house and the effect is that of being cocooned within the garden.

At each viewpoint you get either a peak, or a great vista of the surrounding grounds. One of the things you really notice here is the cycle of the moon at night time - at the time of the full moon, the silvery light floods in through the windows so there is no need to turn on the lights, and when there is no moon the complete dark is a pretty rare experience these days.There is a total 215m2 habitable space.

Here's the layout:Ground floor:Hallway with bespoke oak storage cupboardsOfficeVery large vaulted living space comprising of:- Bespoke kitchen created using oak & slate- Spacious dining area- Sitting room with oak beams & floor to ceiling sliding doors(Opening to covered veranda and terrace area)- Summer kitchen / utility roomGround floor bedroom - the master suite with dressing room, bathroom & large bedroom with glass sliding doors looking out to the gardens & woodlandFirst floor:Two large guest bedroomsLarge bathroomUtilities:The construction of the house included substantial insulation throughout the entire building and the temperature is controlled by an air source heat pump, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system.

The A rate DPE report is testimony to the energy efficiency and thermic comfort of the house.Outside:The house is accessed via a private driveway, so the beautiful gardens entirely surround the house. The hallway on the ground floor leads to a large workshop & double garage.The gardens around the house have been carefully planned and drought-tolerant plants have been selected so that summer maintenance and water requirement is minimised.

For example, there is plenty of Sedum, Iris, Salvia, Nepeta, Kniphofia and grasses.A newly planted orchard contains apples, cherries, quince, mirabelle and medlar as well as numerous ornamental trees.This area of planting leads down to the wild garden where native flora take the lead around a series of streams and ponds.This then leads to the woodlands and the meadows that, depending on the season, are a riot of colour with thousands of anemones, oxlips, hellebores and Solomon's seal to name but a few.

As you can imagine, this is a wildlife haven and there is always something new to see.Location:Despite being in this haven of peace and nature, the house is just 5km from Gourdon, a lovely hilltop town with a good selection of shops and amenities. There is a great selection of restaurants in this area to try and of course the rivers provide plenty of opportunities for entertainment whether it be wild swimming, walking, kayaking or simply picnicking by the water.

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in France do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The property buying process in France takes time; it could be up to six months between seeing the property of your dreams and actually taking ownership. So how much would this €760,000 property cost you?

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £23,317 more.
