Built in 1789 at the dawn of the French Revolution, this stunning manoir has been painstakingly restored to the highest standard. It sits in a commanding elevated position with panoramic views across the Périgord Vert, the greenest, most unspoilt corner of the Dordogne, with a high stone terrace, original pigeonnier, stone well, and a swimming pool already in place.
CoMaison's role here is to furnish and curate. The property will be fully furnished throughout, five bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, to a consistent CoMaison standard before the first owner visit. The bones are extraordinary. The restoration has been done. We bring the considered interior identity that transforms a beautifully restored house into a home worth returning to.
In the UK, a comparable 18th-century manoir, this quality of restoration, this position, this character, would be priced at £3 million or more. In the Cotswolds or any area of comparable natural beauty it would be significantly higher. Here, in the Périgord Vert, one of the most beautiful and least-discovered landscapes in Europe, a share costs £138,000.
Unlike multi-building estates, this manoir is a single unified property, everything under one roof, with outbuildings beyond. The 335m² main house is the entire owner experience: five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two grand reception rooms, a large kitchen retaining its original bread ovens, and a high stone terrace where the views across Périgord Vert stretch to the horizon. The swimming pool is already in place. The pigeonnier, stone well, and original stone porche complete the picture of an 18th-century estate still entirely intact.
Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two large reception rooms, original kitchen with decorative bread ovens. Beautifully restored, faithfully period in character. Reserved entirely for CoMaison shareholders, the grandeur of a French manoir, shared between eight.
The terrace runs the length of the manoir's elevated garden side, looking out over the Périgord Vert. Morning coffee, evening aperitifs, dinner under the stars, this is where the address justifies itself completely.
Unlike the Burgundy property, this manoir already has a swimming pool in place, no capital expenditure required, no planned addition. From day one, owners arrive to a complete estate ready to enjoy.
The original pigeonnier stands in the grounds, one of the defining features of a Périgord estate of this period. A character landmark that signals the age and authenticity of the property to anyone who arrives.
Barns and outbuildings sit beyond the main house with real development potential, subject to shareholder agreement and planning. Guest accommodation, a wellness space, or private storage. The decision, when the time comes, belongs to the owners.
The original stone well remains in the grounds. Mature gardens, the high terrace, pool surround, and parkland complete the outdoor space. A more intimate scale than the Burgundy estate, but no less extraordinary in character.
The high terrace, where the Périgord Vert stretches out below and the only sound is birdsong and wind in the oaks.
Every CoMaison property is designed in-house to feel unmistakably of the land it sits on. For the Manoir de Nanthiat that means Périgord walnut furniture, aged linen, antique finds from local brocantes in Périgueux and Brantôme, hand-thrown ceramics from Dordogne ateliers, and the kind of considered detail that makes owners want to stay longer.
The restoration is already done. CoMaison adds the final layer, the identity that transforms a beautifully preserved 18th-century property into a place with a soul as well as a history.
Local walnut, Dordogne stone, aged terracotta. Every choice references the Périgord rather than importing a style into it.
The original bread ovens, stone fireplaces, and architectural details are honoured rather than concealed. The restoration is celebrated, not papered over.
Five bedrooms need five distinct characters. The quality of linen, the choice of lighting, the feel of door handles, these details are what separate a house from a home.
Nanthiat sits in the Périgord Vert, the green, forested, river-threaded northern corner of the Dordogne that remains largely unknown to mass tourism. This is the France that was. Medieval villages, weekly markets, rivers lined with walnut trees, Michelin-starred restaurants in farmhouses, and some of the finest prehistoric cave art on earth within an hour's drive.
For UK owners, two airports bring the property within reach: Bergerac (Ryanair direct from London) and Limoges. Both make this a genuine long-weekend destination year-round, not just a summer property.
| Lanouaille market town | 10 min |
| Nontron (larger town) | 25 min |
| Périgueux (capital, Dordogne) | 45 min |
| Bergerac airport | 1h 10m |
| Limoges airport | 45 min |
| Bordeaux city by road | 2h 00m |
| Les Eyzies (prehistoric caves) | 55 min |
| Périgord-Limousin Nature Park | 20 min |
| Brantôme (Venice of Périgord) | 35 min |
Two direct routes bring the Dordogne within easy reach of UK owners, both faster and cheaper than driving to many parts of the UK.
The definitive route. Ryanair flies direct to Bergerac from Stansted, one of the best-value connections to the Dordogne. Car hire from Bergerac airport is straightforward.
The fastest option for non-London owners. Limoges is the closest airport to the estate, just 45 minutes by car. Ideal for midlands and northern England shareholders.
The premium option. Drive north from Bordeaux through the wine country and into the Périgord, one of the most beautiful approaches to any property in the CoMaison portfolio.
The share price covers everything, acquisition, full furniture and interior curation, padel court, and all legal costs. The pool is already in place, which means both lower upfront costs for shareholders and a fully operational estate from the first visit. No fit-out surprises. One price. One decision. Then you own.
The holding structure is a UK-registered Ltd company, straightforward for UK shareholders, with a clear shareholder agreement governing use, decisions and exit.
This is the more accessible entry point in the CoMaison portfolio, a five-bedroom restored manoir with existing pool, in one of France's most beautiful regions, for a share price well below the cost of a Cornish cottage.

The Manoir de Nanthiat is a single owner residence: one house, one calendar, shared by eight shareholders. When you are not there, the caretaker keeps it ready. There is no letting and no income offsetting the costs of ownership.
Estimated running costs of around £9,100 per share per year cover cleaning, grounds, pool, utilities, management, insurance, capital reserve and UK Ltd admin. Figures are indicative and may vary year to year.
£138,000 buys a share in a restored 18th-century Dordogne manoir with an existing pool. Estimated running costs are around £9,100 per share per year, shared flat among owners. A five-bedroom property in the Périgord Vert, with a caretaker on site, curated by CoMaison, and available to owners for around six weeks a year.
The Manoir de Nanthiat already has a swimming pool, a genuine advantage over properties where this remains an aspiration. The single planned addition, already included in the share price, is the padel court that completes the sporting offer for owners.
Padel has overtaken tennis as Europe's fastest-growing recreational sport. A floodlit all-weather court at the Manoir de Nanthiat completes the estate's sporting offer alongside the existing pool, a private amenity few restored manoirs in the Dordogne can match.
Towards
off-grid.
The south-facing elevations of the Manoir de Nanthiat, combined with the surrounding grounds, present a strong case for solar installation. Utility costs of approximately €12,000 per year could move toward near-zero within three years, reducing per-owner costs materially and aligning the estate with CoMaison's long-term commitment to energy independence across the portfolio.
The Périgord Vert through the windows of a restored 18th-century manoir. This is what ownership feels like.
The Manoir de Nanthiat has been restored to preserve the integrity of its period character, large luminous reception rooms, original fireplaces, high ceilings, and the kind of light that only comes from south-facing windows on elevated ground. CoMaison's curation adds the final layer without disturbing what is already there.
You hold a genuine legal interest in a real asset through a UK Ltd structure, transparent, enforceable, and transferable. Your share can be sold at any time, subject to fellow shareholder right of first refusal, valued at the market price of the estate at that point.
The Dordogne has seen sustained demand from international buyers, British, Dutch, Belgian and German, for decades. The Périgord Vert specifically is increasingly sought as buyers look beyond the over-toured Périgord Noir. Properties of this quality at this price are genuinely finite.
Eight shareholders complete. UK Ltd formed. CoMaison's design team begin the interior curation: five bedroom identities, Périgord materials, period-faithful details throughout. Padel court commissioned. An on-site caretaker engaged. First shareholder gathering at the manoir.
Per share at entry: £138,000Padel court operational before Easter. Owner booking calendar live. Solar proposal put to shareholder vote.
Estimated running cost per owner: ~£9,100/yrSubject to shareholder approval: solar installation across south-facing rooflines to reduce utility costs. Feasibility study and planning application for outbuilding conversion into extra owner rooms, wellness space, or studio, as shareholders determine.
Direction set by shareholder voteA fully realised Périgord home: restored manoir, padel court, solar-powered, with outbuildings developed as shareholders direct. Shareholders hold, develop further, or exit on their own timeline.
Direction set by shareholder voteYour five to six weeks each year are fully managed. The property is fully managed. The grounds are kept, the pool is maintained, and the rooms CoMaison curated are prepared and waiting. When you arrive, the manoir is ready, exactly as you left it.
Between your visits, the caretaker keeps the manoir ready. Quarterly shareholder meetings, held in person at the manoir, govern direction and development. Your vote carries equal weight to every other shareholder's.
This is not a timeshare. It is not a holiday club. It is co-ownership of a real asset, a beautifully restored 18th-century Dordogne manoir, structured properly, managed professionally, and shared with seven other people who understand what they have.
"You own the stone, the views, the sound of the river valleys below. A share in something built in the year of revolution, that has endured, and will endure long after you."
