Description
Picture yourself waking to birdsong filtering through centuries-old stone walls, morning mist rising from your private woodland as you step onto grounds that stretch beyond sight. This is daily life at this exceptional dual-dwelling stone property in Aquitaine's countryside, where two fully restored three-bedroom houses offer endless possibilities for vacation living, family gatherings, or income generation. Set at the end of a secluded private driveway surrounded by over 10,900 square meters of land including productive woodland, this property represents the ultimate French country escape just minutes from the historic bastide town of Eymet. The region surrounding Saint-Jean-de-Duras embodies everything international buyers seek in Aquitaine vacation homes. This corner of southwest France delivers authentic rural French living while maintaining convenient access to modern amenities. The nearby bastide town of Eymet, just ten minutes away, hosts vibrant weekly markets where locals gather to trade regional produce, artisan cheeses, and freshly baked bread. The town's medieval architecture frames café terraces where expats and French neighbors mingle over morning coffee, creating the welcoming international community that makes this area particularly appealing for second home owners. Five minutes in the other direction brings you to a traditional village with essential services, striking the perfect balance between privacy and convenience. The dual-dwelling configuration of this property opens remarkable opportunities for vacation home ownership. Many international buyers use one residence for family holidays while generating rental income from the second, effectively offsetting ownership costs throughout the year. Aquitaine's tourism season extends from spring through autumn, with visitors drawn to the region's renowned vineyards, riverside activities along the Dordogne, and mild climate. Others house extended family in one dwelling while maintaining private quarters in the other, perfect for multi-generational gatherings without sacrificing personal space. The flexibility inherent in this layout adapts to your evolving needs over years of ownership. Both three-bedroom houses have undergone complete restoration to move-in ready condition, preserving authentic stone construction while incorporating modern comfort systems. The underfloor heating throughout both dwellings connects to an innovative wood-burning system fed by timber harvested from the property's own woodland, offering energy independence and dramatically reduced heating costs. This self-sufficient heating arrangement proves particularly valuable for international owners managing properties remotely, as it minimizes reliance on external fuel suppliers. Winter months see you gathering wood from your own forest, connecting with the land in ways that define genuine country living. Stone walls provide natural insulation, keeping interiors cool during summer without air conditioning while retaining warmth through winter. The property includes an attached stone barn offering additional storage or potential conversion space, plus a dedicated music studio room perfect for creative pursuits or remote work. Modern micro-station drainage system ensures environmental compliance and trouble-free operation. A productive well supplies water for gardens and grounds, reducing utility costs while supporting the self-sufficient lifestyle this property enables. The extensive grounds transform outdoor living across seasons. Spring brings wildflowers carpeting the meadows, summer invites outdoor dining under shade trees, autumn offers woodland walks through changing foliage, and winter provides fireside comfort fueled by your own forest. Gardens offer space for vegetable plots, fruit trees, or simply unstructured play areas for children and grandchildren. The private setting ensures complete tranquility while the manageable ten-minute drive to Eymet prevents isolation. Aquitaine's location in southwest France positions you perfectly for exploring wider regions. Bordeaux, with its international airport and world-class wine tourism infrastructure, lies within comfortable driving distance. The Dordogne River valley's prehistoric caves, clifftop villages, and gastronomic offerings provide endless weekend exploration. Atlantic beaches stretch along the coast to the west, while the Pyrenees mountains rise to the south, offering skiing in winter and hiking in summer. This property serves as base camp for discovering one of Europe's most diverse and culturally rich regions. The local property market in this part of Aquitaine remains attractive for international investment. Restored stone properties with income potential maintain strong rental demand from tourists seeking authentic French experiences. The British and Dutch expat communities established in nearby towns create support networks for international owners, with English-speaking professionals available for property management, maintenance, and legal services. French property ownership for international buyers involves straightforward processes, though working with bilingual notaires familiar with cross-border transactions smoothes the path significantly. Eymet's bastide architecture dates to the thirteenth century, its arcaded square hosting Thursday markets that have operated for over 700 years. The town supports bakeries, butchers, pharmacies, medical services, and a selection of restaurants ranging from traditional French cuisine to international options reflecting the cosmopolitan community. A casino provides entertainment, while the Château de Lanquais and numerous wine estates offer cultural outings. The Bergerac wine region surrounds you, with vineyard tours and tastings available year-round.
