Maison Mouline is a thoughtfully renovated house in the Dordogne just 14 km from the medieval beauty of Sarlat-la-Canéda. This spacious country home offers families and groups a relaxed, easy-going escape surrounded by greenery, games and beautiful terraces.
Inside, the house flows seamlessly between social spaces and quiet corners. On the ground floor, the bright and elegant kitchen features a large central island, double ovens and a generous dining table, leading directly to the outdoor terrace and swimming pool. Upstairs, a gorgeous living room with Smart TV opens onto a picturesque terrace, ideal for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. With five bedrooms spread across two floors, including a master en suite bedroom and a large family bathroom, the layout easily accommodates both togetherness and privacy.
The garden is a delight for all ages. Children can play on the lawn, enjoying the swings, badminton net and football goals, while adults gather for a game of boules on the floodlit court. The private swimming pool is the heart of outdoor living, complete with sun loungers, shaded dining and even a poolside hammock perfect for lazy afternoons.
Just a short walk from the house lies a tranquil lake with a sandy beach and summer Base de Loisirs offering a snack-bar, paddle boards, pedalos and supervised swimming in the height of the summer. There’s a bakery, small supermarket and café-bar just 2km away whilst the historic charm of Sarlat-la-Canéda can be reached by car (or bike) with its gastronomic restaurants, markets and exquisite medieval architecture.
Whether cycling along the nearby voie verte, canoeing down the Dordogne or soaking up the character of villages such as Domme and La Roque Gageac, the region is brimming with activity and heritage. Yet here at Maison Mouline, the pace slows. Meals linger outdoors, children play until dusk and evenings stretch under the stars.
- It’s just a 2-minute stroll to a pretty lake. There’s also a sandy beach, bordering a nature reserve. The lake’s Base de Loisirs (with a snack-bar, pedalo/paddleboard hire and supervised swimming) is only open in the peak season (approx. July and August) and an entry fee usually applies.
