Set in three hectares of private grounds, La Barde is a quintessentially French country home where tradition and space come together in timeless harmony. Dating back to the 18th century, this holiday abode blends historic character with the warmth of a much-loved family home.

Inside, the house retains its original charm. A beamed entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a welcoming farmhouse kitchen complete with a central island, rustic fireplace and dining table perfect for gathering over local delicacies. The living room is both spacious and comforting, offering Wi-Fi and a DVD collection for quieter evenings. Across three floors, five bedrooms, including three with en-suite bathrooms, offer flexible accommodation for families or groups of up to 11 guests.

Outdoors, the 13-metre private pool beckons on warm afternoons, with a shallow beach-style entry, diving board and a poolside terrace lined with loungers. A traditional open barn offers shaded dining with a plancha grill, barbecue and fridge, while a separate games barn comes complete with a table tennis setup and a rustic bar area for leisurely evenings.

La Barde lies just over 1km from the sleepy hilltop village of Lusignac, where a café-bar offers a taste of local life. Within five to ten minutes’ drive, the villages of Saint-Séverin and Verteillac provide all essential amenities, while nearby Ribérac hosts cultural events and its famous Friday morning market. For broader explorations, the historic town of Périgueux is less than an hour away whilst the gorgeous villages of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne and Brantôme en Périgord are even closer.

Whether reading beneath the barn’s timbered roof, cooling off in the pool or wandering through the wildflower meadow with a morning coffee in hand, La Barde invites a slower pace of life steeped in charm and comfort. A characterful base for reconnecting with family, nature and the rhythms of rural France.
