The 11-hectare estate ¨La Chataigneraie¨, is located in the Parc Naturel Regional Perigord Limousin near Jumilhac le Grand. A characteristic feature is the 5,000 m2 lake and the old sweet chestnut trees that have given the estate its name.
The majestic chestnut trees blossom beautifully in spring and provide an abundant harvest of super tasty sweet chestnuts in autumn. The land is very varied with old trees, a bamboo forest, grasslands full of flowers. a young fruit orchard and fields of blackberries and eagle ferns.
The lake gets water not only from rain but also from a natural spring. There is an intimate, enclosed sandy beach with loungers and a parasol for hot days.... We have provided a jetty where you will find a rowing boat and a canoe, which can be freely used by our guests! It is a natural swimming water (without chemicals), where you can also fish.
Near the beach there is a picnic table and a playing field for badminton or volleyball. Boules. And a ping-pong table.
There is a small island in the lake, accessible via a bridge, and there are various footpaths in the forest. You can walk your dog or take a stroll to get some fresh air. Listen to the golden oriole and, at dusk, the call of a tawny owl marking its territory.
