Lescalparède is a remarkable barn conversion, where traditional stonework meets thoughtful contemporary design. Set in open countryside near the Dordogne and Lot border, this architect-designed abode feels both rooted in nature and perfectly refined, with views of the surrounding woodland, hills and fields.
Inside, this 4-bedroom holiday home unfolds with stylish ease. Original features such as timber beams and exposed stone walls lend warmth and character, while high-quality furnishings and modern comforts ensure a seamless stay. The open-plan living and dining area invites relaxed gatherings beneath vaulted ceilings, with leather seating, a well-appointed kitchen and Wi-Fi for added convenience.
Upstairs, split across two different staircases, four beautifully presented bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite bathroom, offering flexible options for families or groups of friends. With two gorgeous double bedrooms, one triple with three single beds and charming quad bedroom with two double beds, Lescalparède can sleep up to 10 guests.
Step outside and you’re greeted by generous lawns and a 10-metre heated pool with a sun terrace that calls for lazy afternoons and unhurried swims. Children will love the swings and table tennis, and there’s a lovely table for al-fresco dining in the shade. Meanwhile, three electrically-assisted bikes are available on request, ideal for exploring the region’s rolling hills and hidden hamlets.
One of three characterful houses within the same estate, Lescalparède is set in open countryside just minutes from village life, offering easy access to Salviac and Cazals for morning croissants or evening apéritifs. The medieval market town of Gourdon is only 20 minutes away, while the atmospheric lanes of Sarlat-la-Canéda, with its golden stone facades and vibrant Saturday market, lie within half an hour. Days can be filled with canoeing in Domme, boat rides from La Roque-Gageac or simply soaking in the region’s rich cultural tapestry.
Whether savouring simple pleasures beneath the shady tree or venturing out into the surrounding landscapes, Lescalparède offers an effortlessly stylish countryside escape with room for both adventure and repose.
