Location
This converted 17th century ferry master's house which has served as a toll post for the ferry crossing the Dordogne until the Siorac bridge was built is situated in beautiful grounds just outside Siorac-en-Perigord right in the middle of the tourist area, located on the Dordogne river, in an elevated position with treetop views.
Dating originally from 1648 the property has been extended over the centuries and has just recently been lovingly restored by its current American owners to make a very comfortable home with very high quality features and furnishings. | Distances |
