Charming 3-Bed Stone House Beside 12th Century Church in Dordogne

Alright, sorry for the delay, I’m juggling a few appointments today but want to give you all the details you need! I’m going to give you the honest story about this house in Eymet (Aquitaine region, SW France), perfect for folks moving in from abroad, or anyone looking to settle in this scenic part of France. I work for a large international agency with buyers from all over, so I know the kind of info you’ll want if this is your first move. So, to start—this is a detached stone house with plenty of character, but also practical and comfortable. It’s got a total of 4 bedrooms – 3 are in the main house, and the fourth is in a separate guest house. To be clear, the house is in good general condition and ready to live in straight away, so you don’t need to worry about big renovations, just the usual personal touches to make it your own. Sometimes rural properties in France need everything doing, but not this one, it’s already got double glazing, oil heating and a proper wood burner for those winter nights. This house sits between the towns of Eymet and Lauzun, about halfway—good for access and you’re not isolated at all, but you get nearly 4 hectares of rolling land, orchards, and open countryside. It’s a quiet, rural setting with proper privacy, so you won’t have close neighbours looking in. The property’s accessed via double gates, so there’s a nice sense of arrival as you come up the long drive. Living in Eymet is a unique experience, especially if you’re coming in as an expat or from abroad. This small medieval town is full of atmosphere, with an active community of both French and international residents – especially Brits, Dutch, and other Europeans. There’s always a market day (big one is Thursday) and events year ... click here to read more

Alright, let me try to put this in a way that’s realistic, detailed, and really gives overseas buyers a sense of what life’s like here. I’m juggling a lot right now with visits scheduled basically all day, but I know the importance of getting a real feel for a place, especially if you’re searching from another country or you’re moving with your family for work or a fresh start. So, here’s the rundown for this house in Nîmes—keeping it straight and practical, not over-promised. I’ll give you the real story of what it’s like here and what you’re actually getting. So this property is a traditional French house, located right in the heart of the Castanet district in Nîmes, which is a very established and sort of low-key, lived-in part of the city. This neighbourhood is known locally as very residential, a lot of families, some working professionals—mostly people who appreciate a bit more peace and want good access to city services. It’s pretty relaxed compared to the busy city center, but you’re not far from shops, bakeries, and, honestly, some solid local restaurants (I’ll mention that a bit more later). There’s a big student presence in Nîmes, too, thanks to the university, but Castanet is mainly a quieter pick. Now, let’s talk about the house itself. It’s not enormous, but for someone looking to get a proper French house with an actual garden — which is not always easy in Nîmes—this is right on target. You’ve got about 89 m² of living space (don’t expect anything palatial—the layout is practical, not flashy), and you’re looking at three decent bedrooms. The house is fully detached, so you do get some privacy—no thin walls with noisy neighbors, which can be a thing in the center. Here’s a short bullet point list of the ... click here to read more

Alright, let me tell you a bit about this house I just got on the books – it’s honestly quite a unique find, right up in the hills above Saint-Jean-de-Cole, in the Dordogne – that’s deep in the heart of the Perigord Vert, if you haven’t visited yet. I’m handling a pile of client viewings right now as real estate is always moving quick in this region, but this place really stands out, so I thought I’d make time to put together as much as possible for those of you overseas looking for your home in France. First, to set the scene – Saint-Jean-de-Cole is one of those French villages you see in the postcards. It’s officially classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France, which is no small feat – you’ve got medieval stone bridges over a slow river, timbered houses, quiet cobbled lanes, and a local baker who really does know everyone’s name. For expats and foreign buyers, it really does tick a lot of boxes: authentic but not touristy, French but still friendly to newcomers, and with a small international community that hosts its own events now and then. Plus, the countryside here—the Perigord Vert—is rolling, green and lush with forests, lakes and pretty walking routes everywhere, and the climate is definitely something to brag about if you come from anywhere with harsh winters or hot cities. You’ll have warm springs, hot but never overwhelming summers, nicely crisp and nearby-mist mornings in autumn, and soft winters where snow is something you’ll see on headlines, not on your doorstep. This property is perched a little above the village, so you really get the sense of privacy, space, and a “big sky” view – whether you prefer evenings outside watching the sun go down, or just want a quiet morning coffee on the t ... click here to read more
