"Le Domaine de La Plumardie" is a charming 16th/17th century rural property, most likely a previous noble estate, which still has more than 27 acres of pasture and woodland.
The honey coloured stone houses have the traditional and very typical Périgordian style and are all set around a unique horseshoe-shaped central courtyard.
La Plumardie is located in the lush "Périgord Noir", in the very heart of the triangle : Périgueux-Sarlat-Bergerac.
It is very close to the Vézère river and its world famous painted and sculpted caves and countless prehistoric sites as well to the Dordogne river, full of impressive fortresses and châteaux, old abbeys, medieval villages, bastide towns, vineyards, etc…
Set on a hilltop site, in a secluded and peaceful setting, La Plumardie offers superb views across a rolling countryside and a lovely place to relax and enjoy the weather and the good living of the South West of France.
