Situated on a tranquil forested ridge just outside the medieval bastide village of Domme, the estate serves as an uncompromised basecamp in the heart of the Périgord Noir. The property masterfully balances a historic main stone mansion with a collection of independent, private cottages, creating a secluded compound that overlooks expansive panoramic views of the Dordogne valley.
Every element of the estate has been modernized for maximum functionality — integrating a subterranean thermal spa, a monolithic outdoor lap pool, and a rooftop wine terrace into the regional heritage. It is an intentional, high-performance ecosystem designed for total independence, offering instant access to France's most iconic historic landscapes and medieval castles.

The living units are divided into three distinct architectural typologies, each optimized for spatial performance and privacy — from historic high-ceilinged studios to standalone private cottages with integrated premium kitchens.

Subterranean Sanctuary. Thermal Recovery.
Carved directly into the vaulted stone foundations of the estate, the wellness spa is engineered for deep physical recovery. Merging raw, historic bedrock with minimalist timber detailing, the space features a high-performance thermal suite, a stone sauna, and targeted recovery therapies.
The Horizon Line.
A low-profile, heated outdoor lap pool designed to bleed seamlessly into the Dordogne valley landscape. The monolithic stone deck offers an uncompromised space for morning lengths or quiet reflection, suspended between the historic bastide walls and the sky.
The Elevated Vault.
A self-service local wine library featuring a curated collection of Grand Crus and exceptional regional vintages, paired with a rooftop viewing deck. An intentional, open-air space engineered for the golden hour — with panoramic views over the Dordogne valley and frictionless, autonomous access.
