Houses For Sale In Europe With 2+ Bedrooms (page 6)

On a clear morning in Lauzerte, you step outside and the whole of the Quercy Blanc valley rolls out below you in shades of green and gold. The village — one of the most striking medieval villages in southwest France, perched on its ridge like a crown — is a ten-minute walk. Down the hill, the weekly market on the square smells of ripe Chasselas grapes and lavender honey from the Lot. This is what you own when you buy here. Not just walls and land, but a front-row seat to a part of rural France that hasn't been polished into a postcard. The property itself sits on just over 3,000 square metres of flat land — rare in this rolling, hill-crested landscape. The main house covers 80 liveable square metres across two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a shower room. Stone walls, thick enough to keep the interior cool all the way through August, give the rooms a quietness that modern builds simply can't replicate. The house is in good condition and move-in ready, so your first summer here doesn't have to be spent navigating a building site. But what really makes this place interesting is what comes with it. The 120-square-metre barn — ground floor only — attached at the side is essentially a blank canvas the size of a generous family home. Whether you're thinking of converting it into a gîte to generate income during the high season, creating a self-contained guest annexe for visiting family, or simply expanding the main living space into something grander, the volumes are there. The bones are exceptional. The ceiling heights in a barn like this are the kind architects would charge you a premium to recreate from scratch. Beyond the barn, there's a garage, a cellar — perfect for storing the Cahors wine you'll be buying by ... click here to read more

Step through a heavy iron gate on a crisp October morning and the whole world shifts. The chestnut trees lining the courtyard have gone amber and copper, a thin mist hangs over the Rhue valley below, and the stone facade of this former convent rises in front of you — three floors of dark Auvergne granite, a central pediment carved with quiet authority, and windows that have been watching this village since long before anyone alive can remember. This is Condat, Cantal, and this house does not whisper. It speaks. At 1,200 square meters spread across three levels, this is one of those properties that arrives in a category of its own. Fourteen bedrooms. Seven bathrooms. A semi-professional kitchen running to 60 square meters. A full basement the footprint of the entire building. And a separate outbuilding already generating rental income. Numbers like these, at 744,000 euros in the heart of the Massif Central, make experienced buyers do a double-take. They should. Condat sits at 700 meters altitude, at a geographic crossroads that the locals understand intuitively and most outsiders discover with a pleasurable shock. The Sancy massif — home to Puy de Sancy, the highest peak in the Massif Central at 1,886 meters — lies to the north. The volcanic plateau of the Cézallier rolls out to the east, vast and wind-combed and unlike anything in lowland France. The Artense plateau, dotted with glacial lakes, sits to the west. You are not near a landscape here. You are inside several of them simultaneously. The village itself is a functioning rural community of around 1,000 people, not a preserved-for-tourists showcase. There is a market, a pharmacy, a primary school, a post office, boulangeries that produce fougasse and the dense da ... click here to read more

On a clear winter morning, you step out through the pool house doors with a coffee and the entire Pyrenees range is right there — snow-capped ridges stretching across the horizon like something from a painting you'd never expect to be real. That view doesn't get old. Not after a weekend, not after a decade. This four-bedroom villa sits on just over 1.2 hectares of private land on the outskirts of Gimont, one of the quieter, less-discovered bastide towns in the Gers department of Midi-Pyrénées. The property itself spans 226 square metres across two levels, with an open layout that makes the most of its south-facing aspect. The cathedral-ceiling living room — 58 square metres with full-height glazing — pulls in so much natural light that you genuinely don't think about switching lamps on until well after dinner. The mezzanine level floats above the main living space and works equally well as a home office or a fifth sleeping area if you've got a full house. Below, a separate 32-square-metre playroom doubles as a second sitting room, with direct sightlines to the pool — useful when you're inside and the kids are out. Four proper bedrooms, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a separate shower room, two WCs, and a double garage complete the picture. The fitted, open-plan kitchen connects directly to the main living area, keeping whoever's cooking involved in the conversation rather than isolated behind a wall. Outside, the heated pool runs on a solar thermal system, meaning it's genuinely usable from April through October without watching the energy meter. A pool house provides covered shade and houses the barbecue setup. Beyond the immediate terrace, the land opens into a mix of meadow and mature woodland — exactly the kind ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Querença sounds like this: the church bell on the main square strikes nine, a neighbor's dog barks twice then gives up, and somewhere below your roof terrace a coffee machine hisses to life in one of the village cafés you can practically reach in your slippers. This is not a resort. It's a real Algarvian village, inland from the tourist strip, and that distinction changes everything about what daily life here actually feels like. Querença sits in the hills of the Loulé municipality, about 18 kilometers north of Faro and a 25-minute drive from the beaches at Quarteira and Vilamoura. It's the kind of place that most visitors to the Algarve never find—which is precisely the point. The village has its own rhythm. The Festa de Nossa Senhora de Querença draws the whole region in January, with the traditional sausage fair (Feira da Linguiça) filling the square with smoke, music, and the kind of unhurried communal eating that's genuinely hard to find anywhere near the coast in high summer. The surrounding countryside, crossed by trails through the Rocha da Pena nature reserve, draws hikers and trail runners year-round. The Fonte da Benémola, a protected riparian landscape just a few kilometers away, is one of those places locals keep quiet about—a shaded river walk where kingfishers move like blue sparks through the willows. The villa itself was built in 1992 and sits within easy walking distance of the village center. It's a detached house on two floors with 187 square meters of internal space, a private garden, and a roof terrace that opens up views across the surrounding hills. The property is in good, move-in ready condition—solid bones, no urgent work required—while leaving real scope for a buyer who wan ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in the Charente countryside, you open the French doors off the kitchen and the smell of damp grass and woodsmoke drifts in from the garden. There's coffee on the go, the pool is catching the early light, and your guests are still asleep in the gîte across the courtyard. This is not a fantasy — this is an ordinary morning at this property, five kilometers outside Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, on a 4,147-square-meter plot that somehow manages to feel both completely private and reassuringly close to real life. The main house is 225 square meters, approached through gates and along a private driveway that announces clearly: you've left the road behind. The ground floor moves logically from a proper entrance hall into a study — useful if you work remotely or need a quiet corner during longer stays — and then opens into the kitchen and living-dining room. The fireplace and wood burner at the heart of the space are not decorative. On a January evening when the Charente temperatures drop to single figures, they earn their keep completely. French doors push the room outward onto the terraces, where a built-in barbecue waits for the kind of long summer dinners that drift into the dark. Three ground-floor bedrooms handle the family or friends situation comfortably. Two separate toilets mean the morning routine doesn't become a negotiation. The shower room is thoughtfully arranged — private to the master bedroom but also corridor-accessible when needed. Practical in the way that only houses designed for actual living tend to be. Then there's the tower. A stone staircase from the main entrance climbs to a private suite — bedroom and its own shower room — tucked away from everything else. It's the room teena ... click here to read more

On a still Sunday morning in Saint-Maurin, the church bell in the 11th-century priory rings out across the valley and drifts through the French doors of this single-story stone country house while the coffee percolates. The kitchen smells of woodsmoke and walnut. Outside, the fishpond catches the early light. This is what you came to France for. Saint-Maurin is one of those villages that hasn't been discovered yet, not really, and locals are quietly grateful for that. Classified among the Plus Beaux Villages de France, it sits in the rolling hills of Lot-et-Garonne, a département that routinely tops French quality-of-life surveys but somehow still flies under the radar compared to its flashier Dordogne neighbor to the north. The village square, shaded by plane trees, holds a small café where the patron knows your order by your second visit. There's a boutique, a boulangerie within walking distance, and in summer the whole village transforms for the Wednesday night markets, where producers from across the Agenais set up under fairy lights and sell duck confit, Agen prunes dipped in Armagnac chocolate, and bottles of Buzet red that cost less than a London sandwich. The open-air cinema runs through July and August. You bring a blanket, somebody always brings too much rosé, and the film starts at dusk against the backdrop of the medieval priory. These aren't tourist attractions in the manufactured sense. They're just what life is here. This three-bedroom vacation home sits on the edge of the village, close enough to walk in for a pastis at 6pm, private enough that you can swim in the 10x5 metre pool without a neighbor in sight. The grounds extend to 6,875 square metres — nearly 1.7 acres — planted with mature specimen tre ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the only sound is the cicadas going at it full throttle in the garrigue scrubland beyond your garden wall. No traffic. No neighbors peering over fences. Just 33,600 square meters of sun-warmed southern French land, a stone house that's been standing longer than most countries have had borders, and a coffee going cold on the terrace because the view keeps pulling your eyes away from it. This is Saint-Ambroix, a small Gard town that sits in the Cèze Valley at the southern edge of the Cévennes massif — and if you haven't heard of it, that's rather the point. This corner of Languedoc-Roussillon moves at its own pace. The Tuesday market on the Place du Marché fills with local producers selling chèvre, honey from lavender fields, and charcuterie from the Ardèche hill villages just north of here. Come autumn, the chestnut harvest festival draws the whole valley together in a way that hasn't changed much in a century. Life here is not performed for tourists. It simply is. The house itself is the real thing — thick dressed stone walls that hold the heat out in August and hold the warmth in through the short Gard winter. At 129 square meters of interior living space across three floors, it's substantial without being excessive. Ground floor: a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace built into the original stone chimney breast, a kitchen, a bedroom, a full bathroom, a conservatory that traps afternoon light until about 7pm in summer, and two storage rooms that previous owners have clearly put to serious use. Up to the first floor, and there's another large bedroom plus a second bathroom and a separate WC. Climb one more flight and two further bedrooms sit under the roofline — good-sized room ... click here to read more

You wake up on a Saturday morning to birdsong and the faint smell of woodsmoke drifting in from somewhere across the valley. The veranda doors are already open — they were open last night too — and from where you're standing in the kitchen with a coffee, you can see the full stretch of the garden, the orchard at the far end heavy with fruit in September, and beyond that, the soft green hills of the Dordogne countryside rolling away in the early light. This is Lalinde. And this stone house is the kind of place that makes people stop looking. Set on 1.1 hectares just outside the riverside market town of Lalinde in the heart of the Périgord, this four-bedroom stone property comes with a separate two-bedroom guest house, a 5x10 metre swimming pool, a 160m² greenhouse, a workshop, multiple garages, and a basement. That list sounds almost absurd for the price point — under €330,000 for the whole lot — but this is the Dordogne, where stone farmhouses with room to breathe are still genuinely affordable by European standards, and where foreign buyers have been quietly building lives for decades. The main house runs to around 124m² of living space across two floors, with a ground-floor layout that just works. You walk in through a proper entrance hall, past a bedroom wing on the left — two bedrooms sharing a bathroom on the ground floor — and then into the kitchen, which opens directly onto the veranda. That veranda deserves its own sentence: 30.5 square metres of covered outdoor space facing the garden, east-west exposed, catching both the morning and the late afternoon sun. In July and August, dinner happens out there every night. In October, it's where you sit with a glass of Bergerac red and watch the light go gold over the ... click here to read more

Push open the old iron gate in the high stone wall and the world outside disappears completely. That's the first thing you notice—the silence, punctuated only by birdsong and the faint rustle of the linden trees lining the garden path. You're standing in front of a house that has been here since the 1400s, its medieval stone-framed windows still intact, its bread oven still capable of baking a full loaf. This isn't a renovation project dressed up in period details. It's the real thing, sitting on nearly three hectares of private grounds just outside Ansac-sur-Vienne in the heart of the Charente, offered to the market at a price that would barely buy a two-bedroom flat in Paris. The scale of what's here takes a moment to register. A seven-bedroom main residence with double-height ceilings and exposed oak beams. Two self-contained gîtes, both renovated and generating rental income. A 150-square-metre barn. A cottage that still needs work. A 15th-century pigeonry that stops every visitor in their tracks. And over 7.5 acres of walled land, watered by the estate's own spring. For buyers searching for a genuinely viable income-producing holiday property in southwest France, or a private family compound with space for multiple generations, estates with this combination of features simply don't come to market often. Step inside the main house through the arched entrance and you walk into a wide hallway anchored by an oak staircase that climbs to a mezzanine gallery above. The main room below is cathedral-like—double height, flooded with light from three large glass doorways that open directly onto the terrace and walled garden. A log burner sits at one end. On a January morning with frost on the garden and a fire going, this r ... click here to read more

Stand at the back of this house on any given morning and the entire Dordogne Valley opens up below you — river mist dissolving slowly in the early light, walnut trees on the hillside catching the first warmth of the sun, and the kind of silence that reminds you what silence actually is. This is Mouleydier, a proper village with a boulangerie, a butcher, a pharmacy, and neighbors who say hello. Not a tourist postcard. Real rural France, just fifteen minutes east of Bergerac. The house sits on about 7,000 square metres in total — roughly 4,000 of enclosed garden and another 3,000 of private woodland at the back. That combination of open, cultivated space and wild tree cover gives the property two completely different characters depending on where you wander. The south-facing pool terrace catches sun from mid-morning until the last light of the evening. In July and August, when the Dordogne bakes, that matters enormously. At 210 square metres, the interior is genuinely generous. The ground floor lives large — reception rooms totalling close to 80 square metres, with original terracotta floor tiles that have survived decades and still carry that warm, earthy tone you can't replicate with new materials. Two rooms connected to the main living space but with their own separate entrance are among the most interesting features in the house. Use them as a fourth bedroom and a home office, or as an art studio, or — with appropriate permissions — as a professional practice space. The flexibility is real and rare. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms, one of which stretches to 25 square metres — that's a proper primary bedroom, not a box with a window. A shower room with WC completes the upper floor. The double garage deserve ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Monflanquin. The market on the Place des Arcades is already buzzing by nine — the smell of rotisserie chicken and fresh-cut lavender drifting up through the old town's medieval streets. From the roof terrace of this late-19th-century townhouse, you're looking out over rolling Lot-et-Garonne countryside, coffee in hand, the fish-scale slate roof tiles catching the early light below you. This is not a fantasy. This is a Tuesday. Monflanquin is one of the finest bastide towns in southwest France — a perfectly preserved 13th-century hilltop grid of honey-stone arcades, half-timbered facades, and a central square that has seen more lively Saturday markets than most European capitals have had political scandals. It sits between Bergerac and Agen in the Lot Valley, quietly going about its business while somehow managing to be one of the most visually arresting towns in the entire Périgord region. This is the kind of place where the boulangerie knows your order by your second visit, and the local cave à vins on Rue Sainte-Marie can talk you through a Cahors Malbec for forty-five minutes without once repeating themselves. And right here, a short stroll from those arcades, stands a house that was clearly built by someone with serious ambitions. Constructed in the 1880s to the sort of standards that would make a modern developer quietly weep, this 180-square-metre townhouse was designed with intent. The slate fish-scale roof alone — a genuine architectural flourish you'll see on grand hôtels particuliers in Paris but almost never on a provincial townhouse — signals that whoever commissioned this building wasn't cutting corners. The bones of the place are extraordinary: panelled ceilings, a marble fireplace, cas ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Sunday morning and the air already smells like lavender and warm stone. Twenty-five olive trees line your view. The pool, south-facing and still, catches the first light above the Hérault hills. This is the kind of place where you forget what day it is — and mean it. Set in a small hamlet just five minutes outside Hérépian and ten from the thermal spa town of Lamalou-les-Bains, this four-bedroom villa sits on 5,500 square metres of landscaped grounds in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc. Built in the early 2000s to a high specification and kept in genuinely good condition, the property brings together a 200 m² main house and a fully independent 40 m² guest cottage — each with their own character, their own rhythm. Walk through the entrance and the main living space hits you immediately. The cathedral ceiling climbs over five metres, flooding the room with the kind of open-air feeling you don't usually find inside four walls. French windows run the length of the ground floor, framing the pool and olive grove like a living canvas. In summer, you leave them open all day. The lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen flow into one another — a central island, an American-style fridge-freezer, induction hob, coffee machine — all the kit you'd want when cooking a proper dinner after a day at Lac du Salagou, which is less than forty minutes away. There's also a pantry and laundry room off the kitchen, a practical detail that makes all the difference when this becomes your actual home, not just a holiday. The master suite occupies its own wing on the ground floor — 35 m² in total, with an 18 m² bedroom, a walk-in dressing room, and a fully tiled en-suite bathroom complete with a d ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Estadens, you wake to the sound of nothing in particular — maybe a wood pigeon somewhere in the oak trees, maybe the distant clang of a cowbell drifting up from a lower pasture. You push open the bedroom shutters and the Pyrenees are just there, the peaks catching the first cold light of day while your kitchen fills with the smell of coffee and whatever the log stove is doing to the air. This is what 415,000 euros buys you here. Not just a house. A completely different pace of life. The farmhouse sits behind a gated entrance on the edge of this small commune in the Haute-Garonne, surrounded by mature gardens that have been given proper attention — not just mowed and left. Stone walls, sun-warmed terraces, the kind of deep shade in summer that makes you rearrange your afternoon plans entirely. The property was fully renovated, and the work was done with care: double glazing throughout, a heat pump system with underfloor heating on the ground floor, modern electrics, and a kitchen that can actually cope with serious cooking. A gas range cooker. Integral appliances. Real counter space. You could make a proper cassoulet in here, not a apologetic Tuesday-night version. The ground floor living area has that particular quality of light that old stone houses in south-west France sometimes get — something to do with the depth of the walls and the angle of the windows. The sitting room keeps its original exposed beams and stonework, and the log-burning stove makes the whole space pull together in winter. It doesn't feel like a renovation project where someone stripped out the character to fit a modern kitchen. The two things genuinely coexist. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms are fully decorated and ready ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in late September, you open the tall wooden shutters of the main bedroom and catch the smell of damp stone and cut grass drifting up from the courtyard below. The vineyards start just beyond the garden wall. A church bell counts eight strikes somewhere in the direction of Rauzan. The coffee is already on, and you have nowhere to be. This is the rhythm of life at this remarkable 17th-century Girondine farmhouse in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers — and once you've experienced it, a week's holiday simply won't feel like enough. The property sits in a peaceful hamlet less than five minutes from the village of Rauzan, where Saturday morning means the street market on the main square, two boulangeries competing for the title of best pain au levain, and an espresso at the café before the day properly starts. It's not a tourist village — it's a real working French community where you'll recognise faces within weeks of arriving. That's a rarer find than you'd think in Gironde. The farmhouse itself dates to the 1600s and carries all the architectural honesty of that era: stone walls thick enough to keep August heat at bay, original exposed beams, and proportions that modern builds simply can't replicate. But it's been lived in and cared for over the decades rather than left to crumble romantically. The result is a home that's genuinely comfortable and move-in ready, without the clinical overhaul that strips character out of old houses. The main house spreads across a very generous footprint. Downstairs, a 42m² sitting room opens through to a formal dining room of 53m² — big enough for the kind of long lunches this part of France was basically invented for. The kitchen at 26m² is well-equipped and practic ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping out onto a sunlit veranda, coffee in hand, as morning mist rises from the forest valley below and the distant whistle of the Krösatåget train echoes through the pines. This is your morning ritual at Högalund Gård, a secluded Swedish farmstead where 2.6 hectares of productive land meet the timeless rhythms of Scandinavian country living, just five minutes' walk from Rödeby village and twenty minutes from the coastal city of Karlskrona. Here, the Swedish concept of "lantliv" – the country life – becomes your daily reality, offering international buyers a rare opportunity to own a vacation home in Sweden that combines authentic rural character with genuine income potential and multi-generational flexibility. This exceptional country home property comprises two complete residences, a substantial commercial-grade utility building, traditional outbuildings, productive gardens, and forest access, creating a self-contained estate that serves equally well as a holiday home base, rental business operation, or extended family retreat. The main residence, a beautifully preserved 1909 farmhouse painted in classic Falu red, stands as a testament to Swedish architectural heritage, its original details thoughtfully preserved through sensitive renovation. The second home, built in 2017, offers five additional rooms with modern construction standards, while the 2019 utility building provides commercial-kitchen facilities perfect for farm-to-table ventures, artisan workshops, or guest services. This isn't simply a second home in Europe – it's a complete lifestyle platform in one of Scandinavia's most accessible rural regions. The property reveals itself gradually as you drive the kilometer-long private forest ro ... click here to read more

The ground floor layout flows seamlessly from space to space, beginning with a flexible inner dining hall that serves equally well as a home office for those extending their stays or a formal dining area for entertaining. The spacious lounge becomes the heart of the home, with dual aspect windows framing countryside vistas that change with the seasons. At its center, a 7kw wood-burning stove creates an irresistible gathering place on cool Scottish evenings, the warmth and ambiance transforming simple moments into cherished ... click here to read more

The Hundfjället area specifically offers a peaceful mountain setting slightly removed from the main village buzz, providing that coveted balance between tranquil retreat and convenient access to all amenities. This single-story country home with loft was built in 2008, embodying that perfect Swedish approach to mountain architecture where modern comfort meets natural surroundings. Large windows throughout capture the changing mountain light, creating bright interiors even during shorter winter days. The open-plan kitchen and living area forms the social heart of the home, where families naturally gather after days spent on the slopes or exploring forest trails. The kitchen features wh ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping out onto your terrace on a crisp winter morning, steam rising from your coffee cup as you gaze across the snow-blanketed valley toward the Trillemarka nature reserve. The silence is broken only by the distant swish of skis on groomed tracks that begin mere meters from your door. This is life at 856 meters above sea level in Tempelseter, where seasons paint the landscape in ever-changing hues and every day offers a new adventure in the Norwegian mountains.

Picture yourself waking to the soft golden light filtering through centuries-old stone walls, the only sounds breaking the morning silence being birdsong echoing across the valley and the distant tolling of church bells from hilltop villages. This is the reality awaiting you at this 327-square-meter stone farmhouse, perched on a panoramic mountainside just 13 kilometers from the Renaissance town of Città di Castello, where authentic Umbrian country living meets the freedom to create your perfect Italian retreat.

Spring transforms the surrounding hillsides into patchworks of wildflowers and new vineyards, while autumn brings truffle hunting season to nearby forests and harvest festivals in every village square.
