A Charming Farmhouse in a quaint rural village.
Built in the 1600s, with barn and terrace, with views of farmers fields.
Our family acquired the property in 1973. It had not been lived in for 50 years. We spent 5 loving years restoring the home. There is an outdoor bread oven attached to the house and a chicken coup we made into the bath and laundry room.
Our family is very much part of the village and surrounding towns. So, your experience here will be very authentic.
Baran is situated in the heart of the Perigord Noir between St Cyprien and Sarlat, surrounded by Bergerac, Perigeux and Les Eyzies, where many of the famous limestone caves and cliffs are home of paintings and engravings of Cro-Magnon man.
This is truly a very special part of the world.

My family fell in love with this area in France and couldn't leave without finding property to buy.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our little Hamlet of Baran is so authentic, only 17 homes, yet in what we call "the center of the universe" for pre-historic cave paintings and etchings, castles, good restaurants and we love the weather. We are close to the mountains and the oceans and 7 rivers. Every year when we start driving along the Dordogne River an undescribable feeling comes over us. And, we have yet to see everything there is to see, even after 37 years!! The best of all, the people are so friendy. We love our village and we feel so loved back.

We spent a lovely week in the Dordogne in June 2009. This house in Baran could not be better: clean, friendly, well-located, affordable. With grandparents and a 2 year old we really appreciated the courtyard and outdoor table; the complete kitchen and huge wooden kitchen table; also the books, games and guitar left for everyone's enjoyment. The authentic stone floors, wood beams and huge fireplaces of Boyntonac transport you back a couple of hundred years. There are many walks to take in the village and surrounding countryside. We look forward to coming back soon!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Boyntonac Sept. 20-27, 2008. Baran is a quiet and charming village, very well located for visiting the Dordogne region. The home is very comfortable with a lovely garden and outdoor living area. We enjoyed the opportunity to shop on the local market days in Sarlat and St. Cyprien as we enjoy cooking.

Our stay in Baran was immensely enjoyable. The house could not be better located, and was quaint, charming and comfortable. The village is peaceful, quiet, and feels remote, yet is only minutes from the main attractions of the Dordogne. We felt so fortunate to be in the midst of such a small yet caring community, and when one of our party became ill one night, the neighbors at La Forgerie showed immense kindness in helping us get medical attention. Our bicycle rentals from Roger were top quality, and our days cycling through small country villages along the Dordogne, with castles seemingly around every bend, were the highlight of our stay.
