Martel, situated in the Dordogne valley area of the Lot, is a fine example of a Gallic town full of life and exuberance. Historic stone buildings house restaurants, cafes and shops, with narrow streets leading to the main square where a beautiful covered market place takes centre stage. Surrounded by undulating countryside through which the River Dordogne flows, Martel will no doubt appeal to many. Just a short distance (2km) from this lovely spot, we came across Mirandole, an eye catching property which has been recently built in the local style. From its elevated position, Mirandole enjoys far reaching views towards Martel and beyond. In fact, the owners loved the vista so much that they designed the house to take full advantage of its situation. Internally, the ground floor is dedicated to the bedrooms and bathrooms whilst the open plan living /dining room occupies the whole of the first floor. Here, French windows frame the views and in the kitchen area, a window seat has been incorporated into the units. At one end of this spacious room, patio doors open on to the dining terrace. From here, five steps lead down to the pool, itself positioned to make the most of the setting and the sunshine throughout the day. Throughout the house, a real sense of space and light has been achieved with tiled floors, pale pastel walls in the bedrooms, and ta ceiling of double height in the living area. Modern bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable sofas and under floor heating ensure your home from home comforts have not been forgotten. Outside, your time will no doubt be spent around the pool and dining terrace, although the rest of the grounds deserve exploration too. Covering over 1 acre, they are mainly given over to woodland and have been left ‘au naturel’. To one side of the property is a country footpath which when followed takes you past fields and meadows to the village of Baladou. It is one of many walks that can be enjoyed in this area, as well as other sport
