Around La Peyrecout

La Peyrecout, circa 1700, a renovated Corps de Ferme, is set in three acres of tranquil hillside amidst beautiful farm and woodlands.

The farm was designed and grew with the barns and houses, built around a central courtyard. Many of the original buildings still remain to provide your holiday accommodation. The remaining land surrounds the farm house and the private swimming pool and in the summer recently planted wild flowers attract the more exotic insects, including the beautiful Humming Bird Moth. We have begun to set up an orchard area which has a variety of fruit trees including figs, peaches, apricots, nectarines, pears apples and walnuts.

Around the Farm

Currently around the farm you can see a Little Owl nesting in the walls, Green and Spotted woodpeckers, Merlins, Hen Harriers and Black Kites and along the local rivers we regularly see Kingfishers and Herons. At dusk in the summer you can see the house martins and bats as they dive in and out of the barns. We have a variety of lizards around including the sun loving chitchats and ponderous Salamanders. In the spring and early summer the paths and fields are full of wild flowers.
