Charming 3 Bed Stone House in Aquitaine

Late afternoon in July, the kitchen terrace goes golden. The vine curling overhead filters the light into something soft, and you can smell the lavender baking on the hillside slopes below. A glass of Gaillac white — picked up that morning from the Domaine de Labarthe cooperative just down the D922 — sits on the stone table. The pool, fourteen metres of saltwater shimmering in the western sun, catches the last heat of the day. This isn't a fantasy. This is an ordinary Tuesday at this quietly extraordinary property in Virac, Tarn. Virac sits in one of the most quietly coveted corners of the Midi-Pyrénées, tucked between the medieval hilltop village of Cordes-sur-Ciel — just ten minutes up the road — and the UNESCO-listed cathedral city of Albi, about fifteen minutes southeast. The French tend to keep places like this to themselves. Rolling countryside of vines, sunflowers, and walnut groves; almost no through traffic; the kind of silence at night where you can hear owls. This is Tarn at its most elemental. The property itself is a considered composition of two distinct living spaces set on roughly 1.5 hectares of mixed grounds — wooded pockets giving way to open lawns, the land folding gently around the house on a west-facing hillside. A private driveway leads you in, and that sense of arrival — of crossing a threshold into your own world — never quite gets old. The main house runs to 205 square metres, having been rethought by an architect in 2002. The result is a home that works as a home should: a generous 54-square-metre living room anchors the ground floor, with a wood-burning fireplace that earns its keep every winter and an open-plan kitchen that makes cooking feel like part of the entertainment rather than a re ... click here to read more

Stand at the edge of the private lake on a July morning and the only sounds are a wood pigeon somewhere in the oak canopy and the soft lap of water against the bank. No road noise. No neighbors. Just 14 hectares of meadow, woodland, and sky — and a stone estate that has been quietly watching over all of it for generations. This is Genouillé, a commune in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes, and this property is the kind of find that makes serious buyers stop scrolling and pick up the phone. The estate is anchored by a substantial main house — proper stone walls, exposed timber beams that have darkened beautifully over the decades, and reception rooms large enough that a gathering of twenty people still feels unhurried. Four bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, mean that a multigenerational family or a group of close friends can arrive for two weeks in August and never queue for a bathroom. The private in-ground pool sits within the grounds of the main house, giving the primary residence its own self-contained world. Completely separate and fully independent, the gîte adds another four to five bedrooms and a second pool. This is where the property starts to reveal its financial logic. Poitou-Charentes draws steady summer traffic — cyclists riding the Vélodyssée, families heading to the Marais Poitevin, history enthusiasts making their way between Romanesque churches — and good-quality rural gîtes in the Vienne book up fast from June through September. The infrastructure here is already in place. You're not building from scratch; you're stepping into a ready-made hospitality setup with genuine income potential. The third structure on the property is a cottage: sitting room, dining space, one bedroom, b ... click here to read more

Some mornings you wake up to the distant sound of boots on gravel. Pilgrims passing through Bach on the Way of St. James, heading southwest toward Cahors before the long push to Spain. You pour a coffee, step out onto the south-facing terrace, and the Lot countryside does what it always does — sits there quietly, certain of itself, needing nothing from you. That's the rhythm of this place. Unhurried. Real. This is not one house. It's a small private hamlet: three independent dwellings sitting on nearly 9,000 square meters of flat, wooded land just 500 meters from the village center of Bach. At 210 square meters of combined living space, seven bedrooms, and six bathrooms spread across the buildings, the property works equally well as a multi-generational family retreat, a gîte operation, a bed-and-breakfast, or a combination of all three. Very few properties along the Lot offer this kind of structural flexibility at this price point. The heart of everything is the main house. Walk into the living room and you feel the scale immediately — generous ceiling height, thick stone walls that keep things cool through July and August, a fully equipped kitchen designed for actual cooking rather than show. Three bedrooms upstairs each have their own private shower room and toilet, which matters enormously if you're hosting guests who don't know each other well, or family members who do know each other too well. The covered south-facing terrace on the ground floor catches the afternoon light and becomes, without any effort, where everyone ends up after dinner. Then there's the dovecote. Not a decorative one — a real, working piece of Quercy architectural history, built from the pale limestone that defines this corner of France. Th ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Fayence, the church bell at the top of the old village counts nine slow strokes, and they drift down through the lavender-scented air all the way to your terrace. Coffee in hand, you're looking out over a ripple of forested Provençal hills, the surface of the pool catching the early light. This is not a fantasy. This is a Tuesday in October, or a Thursday in June — this is just what life looks like when you own a converted stone sheepfold in one of the most quietly compelling corners of southern France. Fayence sits in the Var, roughly halfway between the bustle of Cannes and the rocky grandeur of the Gorges du Verdon. It's a perched village — the kind the Var does so well — with cobbled lanes climbing to a 15th-century church, a rotating cast of artisan markets, and restaurants that take their bouillabaisse and daube provençale seriously. The Tuesday and Saturday markets on the Place de la République pull producers from across the region: olives pressed in Draguignan, goat cheese from the farms above Callian, honey from hives in the Maures hills. You're not driving to a supermarket here. You're walking five minutes to fill a basket. That proximity to the village center is one of this property's quiet advantages. It reads as countryside — the greenery around it is dense and genuinely peaceful — but the boulangerie and the pharmacy and the small épicerie are on your doorstep. International buyers often underestimate how much this matters day-to-day when a property is used across long stretches of the year rather than just a single summer fortnight. The sheepfold itself is the real draw. Stone construction of this age and character is increasingly hard to find in good condition in the Var at this ... click here to read more

On a still morning in the Aude, before the cicadas get going and while the dew is still on the orchard grass, you can stand on the terrace of this estate and watch the Pyrenees catch the first light. The mountains sit low and blue on the southern horizon, the Canal du Midi is just a few minutes' drive away, and Castelnaudary — the undisputed world capital of cassoulet — is twelve minutes down the road. This is southwest France at its most unhurried and most real. The property itself is substantial. 567 square metres of living space spread across a main house, a second large dwelling, and two fully independent cottages, all sitting within landscaped grounds that include a 10x5 metre swimming pool, a mature orchard, two stone wells, and covered outdoor areas shaded by trees that have been growing here for decades. An adjoining barn, stone garages, and a workshop round things out. This is not a weekend retreat — it's a full estate, and it has the bones to become something genuinely exceptional. The main house runs to 164 square metres: a generous living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and two shower rooms. The original exposed stonework and timber beams are still intact, the kind of architectural detail that takes centuries to accumulate and can't be replicated with a renovation budget. The second dwelling — 236 square metres — connects to the main house or operates as a completely separate unit. Four guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, and a private terrace. The two additional cottages are fully equipped and ready to receive guests. That's four separate accommodation units on a single property, which matters enormously if you're thinking about income. And you probabl ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in late June, the only sound you'll hear from the wisteria-draped terrace is the distant clang of a church bell from Lauzerte's hilltop and, if you're lucky, the unhurried creak of a tractor moving through a sunflower field far below. This is the pace of life in the Quercy Blanc — slow, deliberate, and quietly addictive. The stone farmhouse sitting just a short walk from one of France's officially designated Most Beautiful Villages doesn't shout for attention. It doesn't need to. Built around 1880 as a working duck farm — the kind of history you can actually feel in the thick limestone walls and worn original staircase — the property has been brought into the present with real care. The renovation is thorough without being sterile. Exposed stone walls meet a properly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Original ceiling beams frame the living room where a wood-burning stove inside a substantial fireplace becomes the social anchor on October evenings when the Tarn-et-Garonne hillsides shift from green to rust and amber. Tiled floors run underfoot with the kind of patina that only comes with a century of use. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms — including a master suite with its own dressing room and en-suite — give the house room to breathe without sprawling unnecessarily. A large attic sits above it all, unconverted and full of potential, the kind of space that could become a fourth bedroom, a studio, or a reading room depending on who moves in. At 230 square metres, the interior is generous. But in high summer, you'll spend most of your time outside. The pool terrace is serious. A high-quality swimming pool with an electric cover and a proper wooden deck isn't an afterthought here — it's ... click here to read more

Pull up on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is a wood pigeon somewhere in the old oak at the far end of the garden. The Charente valley rolls away below the infinity pool in shades of green and gold, and the stone walls of the house are still cool from the night. This is what you came for. Not the TGV timetable, not the Bordeaux wine list — just this specific silence, in this specific corner of southwest France, that you simply cannot manufacture anywhere else. Dignac sits in the gentle hills of the Charente, a département that most international buyers overlook on their way to the Dordogne or the Basque Coast. That's their loss and your opportunity. The village itself is small and unassuming — a boulangerie that opens at seven, a butcher who knows his suppliers by name, a bar-tabac where the dominoes come out after lunch. Real life, in other words. And yet Angoulême is barely twenty minutes down the road, with a TGV station that puts you on the platform at Paris Montparnasse in under two hours, or in Bordeaux Saint-Jean in forty minutes. The combination of deep rural quiet and genuine transport connectivity is rarer than it sounds. The house is a proper Charentais stone property — the kind built to last centuries, which it has. Thick limestone walls keep the interior cool in July without air conditioning. The renovation has been done with the sort of restraint that takes real confidence: natural stone floors left exactly as they are, oak beams cleaned up but not sandblasted into submission, original oak doors rehung on new hardware. The current owners didn't strip the soul out of it chasing a minimalist aesthetic. Instead, every room feels like it earned its character. The living room fireplace is the honest centr ... click here to read more

Stand in the kitchen of this 270-square-metre stone water mill on a Tuesday morning in late September and you'll hear the channel running beneath the house before you see it. The sound is constant — not loud, just present — like the building itself is quietly breathing. Light comes through the south-facing windows in long pale strips. The stone walls hold the cool of the night well into afternoon. This is Nonards, deep in the Corrèze, and once you've spent a week here, most other places feel faintly over-stimulated. The Corrèze doesn't get the same traffic as Dordogne or the Lot. That's precisely the point. The département sits in the northern reaches of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, spilling into the high plateau country of the Massif Central, and the landscape here has a particular quality — wide river valleys, dense oak and chestnut forests, medieval villages perched above the Dordogne gorges that barely appear on the tourist maps. Nonards itself is a commune of a few hundred people, surrounded by working farmland and nature reserves. The nearest town of any size is Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, about twelve minutes by car — a genuine market town with a Saturday morning market that runs along the riverfront and draws producers from across the region. You can be back at the mill with fresh walnuts, a wheel of Cantal, and a bunch of dried lavender before 10am. The mill sits on approximately one hectare of land, enclosed and private, with no neighbouring properties overlooking the plot. A stone-lined water channel — the original mill race — runs directly beneath the building and emerges through the garden in a wide, slow-moving stream shaded by mature trees. In summer, children wade in it. In autumn, it runs amber with tannins from ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Issigeac: the weekly market on Place du Château is already buzzing by nine, the smell of roasting chicken drifting from the rôtisserie stall, the sound of French chatter rising above the medieval ramparts. You're a ten-minute drive away, standing at your kitchen window with a coffee, looking out across a valley that hasn't changed much in three centuries. That's the kind of morning this property delivers, week after week, season after season. This is a barn conversion done right — and that distinction matters. Too many conversions in the Périgord sacrifice either the soul or the practicality, stripping out the stone to insert plasterboard, or preserving the beams while ignoring the cold. Here, the balance actually works. Exposed stone walls and heavy oak beams anchor every room in something authentic, while underfloor heating on the ground floor, solar panels for hot water, double glazing throughout, and a rare energy rating of B mean your running costs won't eat you alive. For a property of this age and character, that B rating is genuinely exceptional — most stone farmhouses in the Dordogne struggle to break a D. The layout is generous at 250 square metres, and it doesn't waste space on corridors or awkward half-rooms. The kitchen and dining room is the kind you actually want to cook in — properly fitted, with room for a long table and still space to move around it. A wood-burning stove anchors one end. The adjoining living room has its own stove too, and on a January evening when mist sits in the valley and the fire is going, this room becomes the whole reason you bought in France. Beyond that, a utility room with pantry storage and a guest cloakroom handle the unglamorous logistics cleanly. Upsta ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne sounds like this: the church bell at Saint-Jacques tolling the hour, a boulangerie bag rustling on the kitchen counter, and the faint splash of someone already in the pool before nine. This is the rhythm of a village that made it onto France's coveted Les Plus Beaux Villages de France list — and this gîte complex sits right inside it, close enough to walk to the bar-restaurant without moving the car once. Three separate houses. One large garden. A heated pool. One address that almost never comes up for sale in a village this well-known. The complex breaks down neatly. The main house carries four bedrooms and anchors the property with the kind of proportions you simply don't find anymore at this price point in the Charente. A second house adds three more bedrooms, giving families — or groups of friends who like their own front door — room to breathe without feeling miles apart. Then there's the one-bedroom cottage, the quiet outlier, ideal for a couple who want the pool and the garden but not the crowd. Each unit has its own private garden patch, so privacy isn't theoretical here; it's designed in. Total living space across all three sits at 372 square metres, which is substantial by any measure. The garden itself stretches to 2,600 square metres — enough to lose children in for an afternoon, enough to set up a long outdoor table for twelve and still have grass left over. The 10m x 5m pool is heated, which matters in the shoulder seasons when the Charente autumn is golden and warm but the air drops at dusk. There's also a barn on the plot, the kind of structure that immediately starts conversations about wine storage, workshop space, or the fourth rental unit someone always ends u ... click here to read more

Some mornings in the Périgord Noir you wake up to nothing. No traffic, no alarms — just wood pigeons calling from the oak canopy and the faint smell of damp stone warming in early sun. That's the rhythm of life at this five-bedroom stone property in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien, a village that sits quietly above the Dordogne River, close enough to Sarlat-la-Canéda that you can be browsing the Saturday market stalls within fifteen minutes, far enough away that you'd never know it. Set on 2.7 hectares — a mix of open lawn, mature woodland, and garden — the house has the solidity of a building that has outlasted several generations and been thoughtfully brought forward rather than stripped of character. The stone walls are original. The renovation, however, is recent and thorough: new electrical panel, updated plumbing, two hot water tanks, and a kitchen installed from scratch that opens directly into a 39-square-metre living and dining area flooded with afternoon light. It's the kind of space where a summer lunch stretches comfortably into the early evening without anyone thinking to move. The main house holds four bedrooms — two of them full suites with private shower rooms — and those room sizes (22, 23, 15 and 12 square metres) are generous by French rural standards. The primary suite is on the ground floor, which matters more than people expect: after a long day walking the Beynac cliffs or cycling the Vézère valley trail, the last thing you want is stairs. The layout is practical in all the ways that count for a family who actually intends to use a second home, not just own one. What makes this property genuinely unusual is the second, fully independent building. It has its own living room, kitchen, and shower room, with ... click here to read more

On a quiet morning in the Gironde, before the tourist coaches arrive in the village and the church bells of Saint-Émilion's monolithic abbey start marking the hour, you can stand at the kitchen door of this 1860s chateau and look out across a landscape that has been producing some of the world's most celebrated wine for over a thousand years. The vineyards run almost to your garden wall. The air smells faintly of warm earth and cut grass. This is not a postcard. This is Tuesday. Built in 1860 and extended in the decades that followed, this nine-bedroom chateau and manor house sits in more than an acre of grounds just a short drive from the celebrated village of Saint-Émilion, in the heart of one of France's most revered wine-growing appellations. At 280 square metres of interior space across the main residence and a separate guest house, there is real breathing room here — room for a large family, room for friends who stay too long and don't apologise for it, room to think about what you actually want this place to become. The building's history shows itself in the right ways. Walk through the entrance hall and the proportions feel considered, unhurried — the way older houses do when they were built for people who planned to stay. A classic reception salon sits off the hall, the kind of room that works for a winter dinner party with candles on the table just as well as it does for lazy Sunday lunches spilling out into the garden. A separate dining room, a study, and a family kitchen that opens directly onto the grounds complete the ground floor picture. Wooden double-glazed windows throughout manage the neat trick of preserving the original character while keeping things genuinely comfortable across all four seasons. ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the only sound is the cuckoo somewhere deep in the oak woods behind the meadow. No traffic. No neighbours visible. Just the smell of damp grass, a light mist burning off the valley below, and the knowledge that you have six hectares of Périgord countryside entirely to yourself. That is the daily reality of this place — a 318-square-metre stone estate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a tiny hamlet near Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais, and it is the kind of property that makes people stop scrolling. The main house is authentically Périgord — golden limestone walls, exposed oak beams on the upper floor, and a sense of solidity that only three centuries of craftsmanship can produce. The ground floor flows generously: a 45-square-metre open living and dining room fills with southern light through most of the day, connecting directly to a 13-square-metre kitchen that opens onto the same space, making it genuinely social. There is also a private ground-floor bedroom with its own dressing room and ensuite shower — ideal for guests who prefer not to climb stairs, or for the owners themselves. A dedicated 30-square-metre office sits apart from the living areas, which matters if you work remotely or plan to manage the gîte business from the property. Upstairs, two further bedrooms — 23 and 15 square metres respectively — have the kind of exposed ceiling beams that interior designers try to recreate and never quite nail. Now, the part that sets this property apart from the typical Dordogne holiday home: it comes with two fully functional gîtes. The smaller one sleeps four across 62 square metres, with its own living room, two bedrooms, and a secluded garden that gives guests genuine pri ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in Thénac, the only sounds are birdsong, the occasional bell from the nearby Plum Village monastery drifting across the fields, and the soft creak of walnut branches in the breeze. You're standing on the terrace with a coffee, looking out over an unbroken panorama of Périgord countryside. No cars. No noise. Just space, light, and a 423-square-metre longère that's been quietly absorbing centuries of Dordogne life since the 1600s. This is not a typical French farmhouse renovation story. What you get here is rare: a genuinely large, genuinely versatile property that was substantially refurbished in 2021, sitting on around 5,400 square metres of landscaped grounds with a natural spring-fed pond, mature orchard trees — apple, walnut, cherry, plum, pear — and a private swimming pool tucked behind a thick hedgerow so that no one can see in. The pool terrace feels like your own private world, shielded from everything. Step inside through the main entrance hall, which is wide enough to function as a proper reception room, with doors opening to both the front and rear of the house. It sets the tone immediately. Stone walls. Thick, solid materials. A sense of permanence you don't find in new builds. The kitchen pulls you in further — organic and unhurried in its design, with wooden units, natural stone flooring, and walls that have absorbed three hundred years of cooking smells and family meals. This is the kind of kitchen where you actually want to spend time, not just pass through. The main lounge takes the drama up a level. A cathedral ceiling rising two full storeys gives the room a scale that feels theatrical without being cold, and a mezzanine level above adds an intimate counterpoint to all that ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, the kind that only happens in the Béarn. You've pushed open the tall shutters of the first-floor landing, and the garden below is already alive — bees working the lavender, the pool catching the early light, the Pyrenean foothills just visible through a soft summer haze on the horizon. Downstairs, someone has put a baguette on the kitchen table. The nearest boulangerie is five minutes away, and by now you know exactly which one to use. This is what owning a château actually feels like, and this particular one — a three-storey, 468m² stone manor built in 1898, set on 4.16 hectares of its own grounds in a tiny hilltop hamlet near Salies-de-Béarn — makes that morning feel entirely possible. The château sits at the end of a winding country lane, approached by a private drive that curves around to a small parking area in front of the house. Stone steps rise to the front door and open into an entrance hall that stops first-time visitors mid-sentence. The double staircase that dominates the hall — symmetrical, unhurried, built for making an impression — sets the tone for everything that follows. A matching pair of stone exterior steps at the rear mirror the interior staircase and lead straight down to the grounds, the 12m x 4m pool, and the tennis court beyond. The ground floor arranges itself logically around that central hall: a sitting room of 30m², a dining room of equal size with an open fireplace that earns its keep through autumn and into the Pyrenean winter, a library-study-office of 23m², and a kitchen. The spaces are generous without being cavernous, which matters more than people expect when a property like this becomes a real family base rather than a weekend curiosity ... click here to read more

Stand on the upstairs balcony on a clear morning and the Seine Valley rolls out in front of you like something you'd stop to photograph on a road trip—except this is just Tuesday, and you own it. That 49m² master suite behind you, the smell of coffee drifting up from the kitchen below, the garden still dewy and quiet at that hour. This is the kind of house that doesn't announce itself loudly. It earns you over, slowly, room by room. Boissise-le-Roi sits in the Seine-et-Marne département, tucked into a green loop of the river about 40 kilometres south of Paris. It's not a name you'll find on tourist maps, and that's exactly the point. This is a residential village where people actually live—where the boulangerie on Rue de la Fontaine knows its regulars, where the school run and the Sunday walk along the Seine riverbank are the defining rhythms of the week. For a second home buyer, that's rare. You get the proximity to Paris without the noise, the price inflation, or the sense that you're always surrounded by other visitors. The house itself sits on a landscaped plot of 2,600 square metres—generous by any standard, genuinely rare this close to the capital. The garden has been thought about: terracing that runs to roughly 63 square metres of outdoor living space, a covered parking area for two vehicles, a garden shed, and a well with rainwater recovery that keeps the green looking like this in August without sending the water bill through the roof. On warm evenings, this terrace is where dinner happens. There's no competition from traffic noise, no neighbours pressed close on either side. Just the garden, the view down toward the valley, and the kind of stillness that city dwellers come a long way to find. Inside, the gr ... click here to read more

Step onto the south-facing terrace on a clear October morning and there it is—Najac Castle, perched on its narrow rocky spur, the Gorges de l'Aveyron rolling away beneath it in every direction. The mist hasn't fully lifted yet. The wood-burning stove inside is still warm from last night. This is the kind of morning people drive across France to find, and here it comes with your breakfast. Najac sits on the edge of the Aveyron valley like something a medieval cartographer drew on a good day. Frequently counted among the most striking villages in the whole of southern France—it made the official "Plus Beaux Villages de France" list and earns that distinction honestly—it draws visitors from across Europe every summer, yet somehow manages to stay genuinely local. The weekly market runs on Sundays along the main strip, where farmers from the surrounding causse sell raw-milk tomme, walnut oil pressed just up the road, and slabs of aligot mix you'll argue about all the way home. There's a butcher who still knows the name of every farm his beef comes from. That's Najac. This house sits on five hectares of land on the edge of that village, close enough to walk to the boulangerie for a croissant, far enough that you won't hear your neighbours through the wall. You don't have any immediate neighbours. The land wraps around you—nearly four hectares of it contiguous—and the countryside absorbs whatever noise the world is making. In July the evenings smell of dry grass and lavender drifting up from the lower meadows. In November it's woodsmoke and wet earth. Both are worth coming for. The house itself was rebuilt stone by stone from the original structure. That matters here. The builders didn't pretend to add old-world character wi ... click here to read more

Stand at the tall windows of the first-floor salon on a Tuesday morning and you'll understand immediately why people have been coveting this address for centuries. The Charente River slides past below, catching the light in that particular way it does in late spring—silver and slow—while the bell tower of the Abbaye aux Dames marks the half-hour with a sound that drifts through the open glass and settles into the room like it belongs there. This is the Saint-Pierre quarter of Saintes, one of the most quietly distinguished addresses in southwest France, and this five-bedroom Hôtel Particulier has occupied its corner of it with serious, unhurried confidence for generations. The property spans 471 square metres across a generous footprint that reveals itself gradually—you push through the courtyard gate, cross the stone-flagged entrance, and only then begin to understand the scale of what you're dealing with. Rooms that are genuinely large, not estate-agent large. Ceiling heights that make you stand up straighter. The kind of proportions that were built when space wasn't a luxury but an expectation. The original features are extraordinary in their survival. Wood panelling—the real thing, full height, painted in the muted tones of old French interiors—lines the principal reception rooms. Ceiling roses of elaborate plasterwork crown each main space. The spiral staircase at the heart of the house is the sort of architectural gesture that stops people mid-sentence when they first see it; tight, precise, built from stone that has worn smooth in exactly the right places. Herringbone parquet runs through the upper floors; period encaustic tiles handle the ground level. None of this is reproduction. None of it has been ripped out ... click here to read more

Nestled in the heart of the tranquil countryside of Creyssensac-et-Pissot, this captivating property unfolds across a sprawling 3.9 hectares of land, a true gem in the picturesque Dordogne region of Aquitaine, France. Imagine a life surrounded by lush green landscapes and shimmering ponds graced by the elegance of diverse aquatic flora and fauna—this is not just a home, it's a lifestyle waiting to be cherished. As you approach this marvelous residence, you are greeted by a striking Perigourdine building—traditional yet timeless, offering an exceptional and welcoming environment with its 300 square meters of carefully curated living space. Step through the inviting reception, leading you into a grand living room that spans an impressive 80 square meters. Here, towering ceilings and exposed wooden beams create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfectly complemented by an imposing period fireplace originally gracing the halls of an ancient castle. This house boasts a total of four elegantly appointed bedrooms, including two generously sized master suites that promise comfort and relaxation. The kitchen is fully equipped, modern in its utilities yet resonant of the charm of a country home. Just off the kitchen, a 60 square meter veranda awaits; it's a perfect retreat for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet afternoons, complete with a cozy fireplace and a jacuzzi, offering a dash of luxury amid the gentle embrace of nature. Picture sipping your morning coffee on a 40 square meter terrace, taking in the breathtaking bucolic views—it's quintessentially serene, a daily reminder of the beauty and peace around you. The exterior spaces are abundant with potential. Two outbuildings, 120 square meters and 60 square meters respect ... click here to read more

Nestled in the charming countryside of Creyssensac-et-Pissot in the Aquitaine region of Dordogne, this inviting stone house beckons you to explore its unique charm and tranquil surroundings. If you're an overseas buyer or expat dreaming of a serene life in the French countryside, this property might just be the perfect fit for you. This 4-bedroom house, beautifully constructed from traditional stone, is currently being run as a Chambre D'hotes, but it's flexible enough to be transformed into a personal haven or to continue as a guesthouse (with the necessary permissions, of course). Living in Creyssensac-et-Pissot offers the perfect blend of picturesque rural life and proximity to amenities. The region is renowned for its rolling hills, lush forests, and the meandering Dordogne River. It's a paradise for nature lovers, offering endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring the great outdoors.
