Description
Picture yourself on a sun-drenched terrace overlooking endless countryside, a glass of local Buzet wine in hand, as the golden light of a late afternoon bathes the rolling hills of Lot-et-Garonne in amber warmth. This is the daily reality awaiting you at this authentic 1860 stone house, perched on its own hilltop sanctuary with complete privacy and sweeping views that change with every season. This is where vacation home dreams take tangible form, where weekends stretch into timeless escapes, and where every visit feels like coming home to rural France.
Spread across 180 square meters of thoughtfully preserved living space, this four-bedroom stone residence tells the story of authentic French country architecture while offering the comfortable functionality modern vacation homeowners require. The heart of the house reveals itself in a generously proportioned living room flooded with natural light, anchored by an open fireplace that becomes the gathering point during cooler months. Imagine autumn evenings here, flames crackling as you plan tomorrow's visit to nearby medieval villages, or summer afternoons when the room's natural coolness provides welcome respite from the midday sun.
The ground floor layout serves vacation living exceptionally well, with two bedrooms positioned for easy access and a dedicated billiards and music room that opens directly onto the terrace. This indoor-outdoor flow defines the property's appeal, creating seamless transitions between interior comfort and exterior enjoyment. The kitchen connects naturally to living spaces, designed for both quick breakfast preparations before morning market runs to Marmande and leisurely meal preparations using fresh ingredients from the renowned Lot-et-Garonne farms and orchards. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms await, offering flexible accommodation for extended family visits or rental income opportunities during your absence.
The 11-meter by 5-meter swimming pool represents one of this property's most compelling assets for vacation home ownership. Positioned to capture those remarkable countryside panoramas, it offers complete seclusion within your 2.5-acre domain. Summer days here follow a rhythm dictated purely by pleasure: morning swims before the heat builds, lazy afternoons on sun loungers with a good book, evening dips as the sky turns violet and pink. The pool area becomes your private resort, eliminating the need to venture anywhere when relaxation is the sole agenda.
Lot-et-Garonne positions you perfectly within southwestern France's most celebrated vacation territory. Just 8 kilometers from Marmande, you'll discover a vibrant market town where Tuesday and Saturday markets overflow with the region's agricultural bounty: strawberries in spring, tomatoes throughout summer, prunes and melons in autumn, truffles and foie gras in winter. The town offers supermarkets, restaurants, medical facilities, and all practical services international homeowners require, yet maintains authentic French market town character that feels worlds away from tourist crowds.
Sixteen kilometers in the opposite direction, Duras awaits with its imposing medieval castle and wine culture. The Duras AOC produces excellent reds and whites at accessible prices, and cellar visits here provide intimate experiences with winemakers who genuinely want to share their passion. Spring and autumn wine festivals fill the town with music and celebration, while summer brings outdoor concerts in the castle courtyard.
The broader region serves outdoor enthusiasts exceptionally well across all seasons. The Lot-et-Garonne countryside unfolds in gentle hills perfect for cycling, with quiet country roads connecting picture-postcard villages. Spring carpets the landscape in wildflowers, summer brings sunflower fields that seem to stretch forever, autumn transforms vineyards into copper and gold tapestries, and winter reveals the essential architecture of the land. Walking trails thread through forests and farmland, while the Canal de Garonne offers flat, easy cycling and boating just a short drive away.
Bordeaux lies roughly an hour northwest, providing international airport access, world-class dining, exceptional shopping, and cultural attractions ranging from contemporary art at the Bassins de Lumieres to centuries of history in the old town's honey-colored stone streets. The Atlantic coast beaches of Arcachon and Cap Ferret make viable day trips at approximately 90 minutes, while the Pyrenees ski resorts become accessible for winter sports enthusiasts willing to drive two to three hours.
The climate here epitomizes southwestern French appeal: genuine seasons without extremes. Summers bring warmth perfect for pool use and outdoor living, typically 25-30 degrees, with occasional heat spikes quickly cooled by evening breezes. Spring and autumn offer mild, pleasant temperatures ideal for exploring, hiking, and wine touring. Winters remain relatively gentle, with occasional frosts and rare snow, making the property accessible year-round without the heating costs or weather challenges of mountain or northern locations.
For vacation home investors, this property presents compelling fundamentals. The good condition status means immediate enjoyment without major renovation projects consuming your vacation time and budget. The four-bedroom configuration attracts family renters and group bookings, while the pool significantly increases rental appeal and nightly rates during the May through September peak season. Lot-et-Garonne's position between Bordeaux and Toulouse, with Bergerac airport just 45 minutes away, makes it accessible for short-break renters from the UK and northern Europe. Annual property tax at 1,948 euros remains manageable compared to coastal or Alpine vacation markets.
The double carport protects vehicles from sun and weather, essential for those planning extended stays or storing a second car permanently at the property. The water source on the land reduces utility costs and provides irrigation security for maintaining gardens and grounds. At 2.5 acres, the land offers space for vegetable gardens, fruit trees, chickens if desired, or simply natural countryside to call your own without overwhelming maintenance demands.
