Beside mature trees and stone walls, Ferme De La Rivière captures the timeless spirit of the Dordogne. This traditional detached farmhouse sits in an acre of private grounds, where sunlight moves gently across the grass and the river calls from just a leisurely stroll away. Exposed beams, thick stone walls and cool tiled floors give the interiors a characterful feel, while the simple yet welcoming décor ensures comfort in every room.
The farmhouse sleeps up to 6 guests across three bedrooms, including two doubles and a charming small twin ideal for children. Inside, the country-style kitchen is well equipped for family meals, with a rustic dining room opening out to the shaded terrace, whilst the living room is relaxed and homely.
At the heart of the spacious grounds lies a large private pool, 15 metres long and perfect for cooling off after sunny afternoons spent canoeing or wandering medieval villages. A poolside covered terrace with fridge, lounge seating and barbecue for al-fresco dining completes the outdoor set-up for sociable warm evenings.
From your door, it’s a leisurely half hour walk to Vitrac-Port and the Dordogne river, where you’ll find a riverside restaurant, a small beach and canoe hire. Domme is just five minutes away by car, a beautiful hilltop bastide with cobbled streets and sweeping valley views, while the celebrated town of Sarlat-la-Canéda is just a little further heading north. This is the heart of the Dordogne, rich with castles, gardens, local markets and walking trails.
For families or friends seeking a relaxed French escape full of warmth, charm and convenience, Ferme De La Rivière offers a delightful base where the pace of life naturally slows.
- The house sleeps six guests across three bedrooms, including a small twin bedroom with two narrow single beds (80cm each), best suited to children.
- It’s a leisurely 2km stroll along local country lanes (no pavement) to Plage De Vitrac with its restaurant and canoeing opportunities, both open seasonally.
