This charming stone property, arranged around a walled courtyard, boasts a fascinating history believed to include connections to the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, and later Freemasonry. A Masonic crest remains visible on one of the gable ends, offering a unique glimpse into the property’s extraordinary past.
Thought to be among the oldest residences in the Périgord, its origins date back to the 12th century. The house sits beside the historic Église Saint‐Jean‐Baptiste de Montcaret and, for much of its history, served as an abbey associated with the church.
Today, the main house is a detached stone house offering three bedrooms and comfortable living spaces. A terrace off the lounge provides lovely views beyond the garden, while the house sits within the enclosed courtyard formed by the remains of the ancient abbey.
Part of the surviving abbey structure has approved planning permission and partial renovations already in place, allowing for the creation of a second independent dwelling-perfect for guest accommodation, a gîte, or additional living space.
Several stone outbuildings surround the courtyard, currently used as a garage and workshop, offering practical storage and further development possibilities.
The property features many fascinating historic architectural elements, including a vaulted cellar, dressed-stone irrigation channels, several original stone basins, and a magnificent well. A particularly rare feature is the “chapeau de sorcière” square roof on the remaining abbey building-a style seldom seen in the Périgord.
