Exceptional Semi- Troglodyte House Property with Private Cave and Dordogne views.
Exceptional Semi-Troglodyte Property with Private Prehistoric Cave and Dordogne Views – La Roque-Gageac
Set into the cliffside of La Roque-Gageac, one of the Dordogne Valley's most sought-after villages, this remarkable semi-troglodyte property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home in an exceptional setting.
The property includes an extraordinary private cave dating back approximately 15,000 years, featured in the book The Man in the Cave. From its elevated position, it enjoys stunning views over the Dordogne River, Domme and Château de Castelnaud.
The accommodation offers three bedrooms plus an additional attic room, currently used as a bedroom but equally suited to a home office or hobby room. Bright and spacious throughout, the house benefits from double glazing, photovoltaic and solar panels, and a flexible layout that could also lend itself to guest accommodation, subject to any necessary permissions.
Several terraces overlook the Dordogne River, while a covered terrace and summer kitchen provide ideal spaces for outdoor living. The grounds include fruit trees, a vegetable garden and woodland.
The property also offers development potential, with the existing terraces potentially providing scope to extend the accommodation, subject to obtaining any necessary permissions.
Within walking distance of the amenities of La Roque-Gageac and just a short drive from Sarlat, this is a rare and distinctive property in one of the most desirable locations in the Dordogne.
Price including agency fees : 360 000 €
Price excluding agency fees : 339 623 €
Buyer commission, tax included: 6%

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
