Charming 3BR Home with Pool & BB in Heart of Village

On a clear morning in Vienne-en-Arthies, you open the French doors off the living room and the Vexin countryside rolls out in front of you — soft hills, open sky, not a rooftop in sight. Coffee in hand, the only sound is birdsong and the distant rhythm of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line. This is rural Île-de-France at its most honest, and it's just 70 kilometres from Paris. Vienne-en-Arthies sits in the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin Français, a protected landscape of limestone plateaus, wheat fields, and stone villages that feels like it belongs to another century. Five minutes down the road is Vétheuil, the riverside village that captivated Claude Monet before he ever reached Giverny — and you can see exactly why when you walk the Seine bank at dusk. The light here does something extraordinary in the late afternoon, the kind of golden slant that makes even a grain silo look like a painting. The house itself sits on around 1,500 square metres of land, and at 104 square metres of living space it strikes that rare balance — enough room for family and friends without becoming a maintenance burden. The ground floor revolves around a 29-square-metre living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen at one end and a fireplace with an insert at the other. In January, when the Vexin frosts bite, that insert earns its keep. Come July, the glazed doors fold back and the terrace becomes the de facto dining room, the garden stretching away toward open countryside. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms sit under partially mansard rooflines — the sloped ceilings give them a tucked-in quality that guests tend to love. The garden level adds real versatility: a third room currently configured as an additional bedroom, with an adjo ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Bouquetot moves slowly. The smell of fresh bread drifts up from the boulangerie in Bourg-Achard five minutes down the road, church bells carry across flat green fields, and beyond the tall hedgerows that frame this property's 4,580 square metre plot, there's almost nothing to hear but birdsong and the occasional tractor on a distant lane. This is rural Normandy at its most genuine — not the postcard version, the real one. Built in 1960 and kept in consistently good condition by owners who clearly cared about the details, this 103 square metre house sits on a fully enclosed, tree-lined lot that feels more like a private park than a garden. Step outside on a June evening and the light stays golden until nearly ten. The flat lawn is wide enough for a game of pétanque, a badminton net, or simply a table long enough to seat the extended family for a Norman spread — think camembert straight from the market at Pont-Audemer, a terrine from the charcuterie in Bourg-Achard's Wednesday market, and a bottle of local Calvados to close things out. The entrance through the veranda-style extension sets the tone: this is a house that has been lived in and loved. The 26 square metre living room faces southwest, which matters enormously in Normandy — afternoon sun floods the room, and you earn every one of those winter hours around the fireplace insert. The tiled floors are easy to maintain, practical in the way that a proper country house should be. The fitted kitchen is ready to go from day one, no renovation project standing between you and your first summer here. Three bedrooms give the property genuine flexibility. Use it as a family holiday home and everyone gets their own space. Rent it out during peak summer we ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace on a Saturday morning in Riantec and you'll hear it before you see it — the low hum of fishing boats heading out across the Rade de Lorient, the calls of gulls cutting through salt-sharp air, and somewhere down the street, the mechanical clatter of a boulangerie shutter rolling up. This is not a postcard version of Brittany. It's the real thing. A working coastal town where the rhythm of the tides still shapes daily life, and where a five-bedroom house with this much space and this much potential doesn't stay on the market long. Built in the 1970s in a style typical of solid Breton residential construction, this 147-square-metre house sits in Riantec with a full basement, an attached garage, a proper garden, and a terrace that asks you to sit down and stay a while. The bones are good. The layout is generous. And the renovation opportunity here is exactly what buyers who know this part of Morbihan have been waiting for. The garden level does something rare — it allows genuinely comfortable single-floor living if you want it. An entrance hall opens into a bright living and dining room, there's a functional kitchen, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. Come summer, with the terrace doors thrown open and the garden spilling light through the windows, this floor alone becomes a complete holiday retreat. Upstairs, a landing leads to three more bedrooms, two of which come with dressing areas — a detail that matters enormously when you're hosting family for an extended August stay. The second bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, which anyone who's coordinated a full house of guests will appreciate immediately. The full basement is the kind of space that gets people thinking. ... click here to read more

The church bells from the village of Ménéac carry just far enough on a still morning to reach the kitchen window — but you'd have to open it first, and by then the smell of coffee and woodsmoke from the stone fireplace has already pulled you firmly into the day. This is the kind of place that resets your clock. Six hectares of Breton countryside, two independent dwellings carved out of a grand old granite longhouse, and a second stone longère waiting in the wings. At €292,000 for the whole estate, it's not a fantasy — it's a real opportunity that doesn't come around often. Let's start with what's here right now. The main property is a large traditional Breton stone house, divided into two fully functional dwellings. Both are in good condition and ready to live in, which matters more than people realize when you're buying remotely from abroad. No months of waiting on contractors before your first stay. The first dwelling runs across two floors. Ground level gives you a living room anchored by a fireplace with a wood-burning stove — the kind you'll actually use from October through April — plus a proper kitchen, a laundry room, and a toilet. Upstairs, one bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, there's a second bedroom, a family bathroom, and a room currently used as an office but flexible enough to become a third sleeping space when the cousins arrive in August. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with its own fireplace and wood-burning stove, a kitchen-dining room (slightly more sociable in its configuration), a laundry room, a toilet downstairs, then an en-suite bedroom, another bedroom, a family bathroom, and an office upstairs. Two complete homes. Same stone walls, same slate roof, s ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in late June and the air carries two things simultaneously: the cool, resinous breath of the Camors forest drifting across your garden, and somewhere down the lane, the faint clang of a neighbour closing a gate before heading to the weekly market in Auray. This is life in one of Morbihan's most quietly compelling corners — and this four-bedroom house on a generous 2,800m² plot sits right at the heart of it. The house has been fully renovated and kept in genuinely good condition. Not the kind of "good condition" that means you'll spend your first summer replacing boilers and re-grouting tiles. The previous owners invested properly — in a contemporary aesthetic that feels coherent from room to room, in recent drainage infrastructure, in the kind of upkeep that only comes from people who actually love a home rather than simply occupying it. At 146 square metres of living space across two floors plus a complete basement, there's real room to breathe here. Ground floor life revolves around a fitted kitchen that opens directly into a glazed veranda — the kind of space that makes March genuinely liveable in Brittany. On grey days you're still sitting in light. On sunny ones you slide the door and take your coffee to the covered terrace, where a retractable awning lets you stay outside even when the Atlantic decides to remind you who's boss. The main living room has a fireplace with a wood-burning insert, and on December evenings, with chestnuts from the forest and a bottle of Muscadet sur Lie from a producer near La Chapelle-Hermier, you'll understand why people come to Brittany and never quite leave. A master suite on this level comes with its own shower room — genuinely useful when guests ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Elne moves at its own pace. The market on the Place de la République is already alive by nine — vendors stacking fat Roussillon peaches, wheels of aged sheep's cheese from the Pyrenean foothills, bottles of Banyuls and Maury that catch the light like dark garnets. You walk back up the hill with a baguette tucked under one arm, push open the gate, and drop everything beside the pool. The water is that particular shade of blue you only ever get under a southern French sky. This is what owning a house in Elne actually feels like. Set in one of the most historically layered towns in the Pyrénées-Orientales, this three-bedroom house spans 130 square metres on a 463-square-metre plot — enough garden and terrace space to feel genuinely private without becoming a weekend maintenance project. The property is in good condition and move-in ready, which matters enormously if you're buying from abroad and can't oversee a renovation from another country. The ground floor revolves around a single, generous living space of around 50 square metres. Open-plan kitchens tend to sound better on paper than they live in practice, but this one earns its footprint — the dining and lounge areas flow naturally into each other, and when you throw the doors open in July the distinction between inside and outside more or less disappears. There's also a separate WC on this level and a 22-square-metre garage that international buyers often find more useful than expected: storage for bikes, a surfboard for trips down to the coast, garden furniture through winter. Upstairs, three proper bedrooms — not the shrunken secondary rooms that often get dressed up with that description — sit alongside a dedicated office that works equally wel ... click here to read more

Stand on the covered terrace on a clear October morning and you can see all the way across the Roussillon plain — the vineyards turning rust and gold, the Mediterranean a thin silver line on the horizon, and the Albères mountains pressing up close behind you. This is Laroque-des-Albères. Not the tourist brochure version of southern France, but the real, lived-in one, where the weekly market on the square smells of thyme and grilled blood sausage, where the locals drink their grenache at tables that have never moved, and where the light in late afternoon turns the stone walls the color of warm honey. The property itself is a two-part setup that gives you rare flexibility. A detached villa of around 95 square meters sits at the heart of the plot, solid in construction and in good condition throughout. Ground floor living is set up sensibly: two bedrooms, a shower room, a separate toilet, an independent kitchen, and a living room that opens directly onto a 30-square-meter covered terrace. That terrace is where life actually happens — morning coffee in the shade of the overhang, long lunches that drift into the afternoon, the smell of wild rosemary carried down from the hills above. Upstairs, a third bedroom, a mezzanine space, and an office give you room to spread out, whether you're working remotely for a week or hosting three generations of family across the summer. Beyond the villa, a completely independent T3 apartment changes the entire financial conversation around this property. Two bedrooms, a shower room, an open kitchen flowing into the living area, its own private terrace with that sweeping view over the plain, and a storage shed. The apartment is fully self-contained — guests, family members, or tenants have t ... click here to read more

Picture a Saturday morning in late September. You pull open the roller shutters and the light that floods the living room is that particular gold you only get this far south — thick, warm, almost edible. Outside, the vines on the Agly plain are turning amber. There's a market in Rivesaltes, twenty minutes on foot, where someone is grilling merguez next to a stall piled with Muscat grapes and local honey. This is not a fantasy. This is a regular weekend when you own this 233 m² villa on a quiet residential street in one of the most quietly compelling corners of the French Midi. Rivesaltes sits in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, tucked between Perpignan and the coast, flanked by vineyards that have been producing wine since the Romans passed through. The town's name is practically synonymous with the famous Muscat de Rivesaltes and the rich Rivesaltes Ambré, and the Cave de Rivesaltes cooperative — one of the largest in the region — welcomes visitors year-round for tastings that won't cost you a fortune. This is everyday life here, not a tourist attraction you visit once. The villa itself is a proper single-storey family home with a footprint that feels rare at this price point in southern France. At 233 m² of living space spread across one generous floor — plus a 16 m² upstairs office — the layout is genuinely practical rather than just spacious on paper. The main living room stretches to 38 m², and with the open-plan kitchen flowing into it, the whole social heart of the house breathes. Five bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus en-suites, a separate laundry room — this is a home that can absorb a large family or a revolving cast of guests without anyone feeling crowded. The 22 m² garage keeps a car out of the Roussill ... click here to read more

Picture a Sunday morning in high summer: you open the kitchen door and the smell of warm stone hits you first, then cut grass, then something faintly floral drifting in from the garden. The pool is already glinting in the early light. Nobody else is awake yet. This is what 215 square metres of well-built French country life actually feels like, and it's waiting for you in the Charente. Civray sits in the Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, a part of rural France that still rewards people who choose to slow down. This isn't the Dordogne with its tourist caravans and inflated prices. Civray is real, working, lived-in France — a market town with a proper Saturday market on the Place du Marché, a Wednesday morning brocante that turns up the occasional serious find, and a Romanesque church facade on the Saint-Nicolas that art historians make detours to see. You walk to the boulangerie before 8am and you're back with a still-warm baguette before the household stirs. That's the rhythm here. The house itself is substantial. At 215 square metres of habitable space, it's built to the kind of standard that was common in this part of France in the late twentieth century — solid concrete and stone construction, thick walls that keep things cool through July and August without air conditioning fighting the heat. The layout is practical rather than fussy. On the ground floor, a 46-square-metre open-plan dining and living room is anchored by a fireplace that earns its keep from November through March. French doors push open onto the terrace and, from there, directly to the pool. The kitchen — 18 square metres, fully equipped — sits adjacent, so meals move naturally from prep to table to outdoors. The ground-floor bedr ... click here to read more

On a still morning in the Périgord Noir, the only sounds you'll hear from this hamlet courtyard are birdsong, the faint echo of a church bell drifting over from Castels, and the soft splash of water in a 12-by-6-metre saltwater pool that looks straight out over a valley that hasn't changed much in centuries. That's not a selling point — that's Tuesday. This is a rare opportunity to acquire not one but two authentic Dordogne stone houses sitting side by side on roughly 8,000 square metres of grounds in the commune of Castels et Bézenac. A shared cobbled driveway and a gated private courtyard connect them, and together they form a property that functions equally well as a large family holiday compound, a multi-generational retreat, or a live-in renovation project with serious long-term upside. The asking price of €294,000 for the entire ensemble — pool, dovecote, garage, outbuildings, courtyard and all — is the kind of number that makes people do a double-take when they check it against what comparable Dordogne properties have been selling for. The larger of the two houses is the one that stops you at the door. Ground floor: a proper country kitchen with an adjoining shower room and WC, and a living-dining room anchored by a character stone fireplace and a pellet stove — the kind of room you want to be in when November rain is hitting the terrace outside and a cassoulet is on the hob. French doors open both toward the front courtyard and the rear garden, so the space breathes in summer and feels sealed and warm come autumn. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a small bathroom with WC. It's not complicated. It's exactly what a Dordogne farmhouse should be. The second house, slightly more compact, has its own kitchen, a living roo ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Louignac, the only thing that wakes you is birdsong. Not traffic, not neighbours, not the hum of a city that never quite switches off. Just the breeze moving through the oak trees at the edge of your garden, and the faint smell of damp grass catching the early light. That's what life feels like in this four-bedroom stone house in the Corrèze — and once you've felt it, it's hard to unfeel. This is rural France as it actually exists, not as it's romanticised on a postcard. Louignac sits in the rolling green Limousin countryside, a place where the land hasn't been manicured for tourists. The fields are real working fields. The stone walls lining the roads are a few centuries old. The weekly market at Objat — just twenty minutes away — sells duck confit, walnuts, and cheeses from farms you could cycle to. This is the kind of France that people spend years searching for, and rarely find still available at a price that makes sense. The house itself is solid and full of character. Stone construction throughout, which means thick walls that keep rooms cool in July and hold the warmth of the pellet stove through January without breaking a sweat. The ground floor is anchored by a generous kitchen-dining room — genuinely fitted and equipped, not the vague claim you see on listings where the "equipped kitchen" turns out to be a single plug socket. This room opens directly into the living room, so the whole social heart of the house flows together as one connected space. In winter, the pellet stove becomes the gravitational centre of every evening. In summer, the doors open and the room breathes out into the garden. Behind the kitchen, there's a laundry room that has a second life waiting for it. The proport ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in the Dordogne, and the air through the kitchen window carries woodsmoke and the faint sweetness of walnut orchards baking in September sun. You're putting on coffee, the terracotta tiles cool underfoot, and through the sitting room's old beams you can hear absolutely nothing except birdsong and the occasional tractor two fields over. This is what you came to France for. Set in Parcoul-Chenaud, a quiet commune in the northern Dordogne where the pace of life has been politely ignoring the 21st century for decades, this four-bedroom Périgord-style house sits on roughly 5,000 square metres of garden and land that gives you genuine room to breathe. At 190 square metres of living space spread across two naturally separated levels, it's a house with real character — not the kind manufactured by a renovation company, but the kind accumulated over generations of French rural life. The layout deserves a proper explanation, because it's one of the property's most interesting qualities. The upper entrance level holds a welcoming hall, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. So far, so practical. But descend to the lower level and the house opens up into something altogether more generous: a large sitting room with original terracotta floor tiles and a beamed ceiling, a proper fireplace for January evenings when the Dordogne mist rolls in, and a staircase climbing to two further bedrooms and a second spacious bathroom. The split-level configuration means a family of six or eight could live here without anyone getting in each other's way. Or you could use the lower level as a self-contained space for guests — the bones are clearly there. A study, utility room, cave, and an oversized g ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in rural Vienne, and the only sound you can hear from the kitchen window is birdsong and the distant clank of someone's tractor heading up a dirt track. That's not a fantasy—that's a Tuesday. This three-bedroom character house in a quiet hamlet outside Civray sits on 2,500 square metres of wooded land, and the second you step through the gate, the outside world drops away entirely. The house itself stretches across more than 200 square metres of living space, with three en-suite bedrooms—a layout that already hints at something versatile. Live in one half, let out the other. Run it as a chambres d'hôtes. Install family in their own wing and keep yours private. The floorplan makes all of this genuinely workable, not just theoretically possible. One portion of the home sits entirely on a single level, which opens up options for guests with mobility considerations or older relatives who want their independence without the stairs. Character houses with this kind of built-in flexibility don't come up in this part of France very often, and when they do, they rarely stay on the market long. Then there's the 40-square-metre workshop—a proper one, not a glorified shed. For anyone with a woodworking habit, a restoration project, a ceramics practice, or simply a stash of tools that deserves a real home, this space is genuinely exciting. Add in the woodshed and the Alpine-style chalet on the grounds and you've got an ensemble that feels more like a small rural estate than a single-family home. Civray itself sits in the Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, roughly equidistant between Poitiers and Angoulême—two cities worth knowing. Poitiers is about an hour north and carries real historical weight: th ... click here to read more

Picture a Sunday morning in the Périgord Vert. The kitchen window is open, a coffee is brewing, and the only sound reaching you from outside is birdsong and the faint rustle of the walnut trees at the edge of your enclosed garden. No traffic. No crowds. Just 1,560 square metres of private land, a covered pool glinting under its dome, and a pace of life that feels like it belongs to another century — the good kind. This fully renovated three-bedroom house sits in a quiet hamlet just ten minutes from Nontron, a town that punches well above its weight for a place of its size. Nontron is the capital of the Périgord Vert, the green and deeply underrated northern pocket of the Dordogne département, and it wears that title with quiet confidence. The old knife-making tradition still lives here — the Nontron knife, with its boxwood handle and distinct silhouette, has been crafted in the same spot since the 15th century, and you can visit the workshop on Rue Carnot and watch blades being finished by hand. It's the kind of place that reminds you France hasn't been entirely swallowed by modernity. The house itself spans 185 square metres across two levels and has been renovated to a standard that means you genuinely can walk in, unpack, and spend the first evening by the pool rather than drawing up a list of contractors. That matters enormously for buyers coming from the UK, Ireland, or northern Europe who want a second home without a five-year renovation saga attached to it. Good condition here means good condition — solid roof, clean interiors, functional systems. Downstairs, the scale of the living spaces is the first thing that catches you. A single-story living room of 58 square metres flows openly into a 28-square-metre din ... click here to read more

Stand on the patio on a still September morning and watch mist lift off the surface of your own one-acre lake. The water lilies have opened. A kingfisher cuts across the far bank. The only sound is the creak of the old oak at the water's edge. This is not a postcard. This is Tuesday. That is the kind of morning that comes with this four-bedroom house on the quiet edge of Dournazac, a compact, self-sufficient little village deep inside the Perigord Limousin Regional Natural Park. The property sits on just over two hectares — roughly 21,283 square metres — and includes not one but two private spring-fed lakes. That detail alone puts this in a completely different category from almost anything else available in this price range in southwest France. The house itself was built in the mid-1970s to an individually commissioned design, and the quality of its construction is still obvious today. Solid materials. Wide windows that pull in far more light than you'd expect from a house of this era. The rooms feel generous without being cavernous, and the whole place has been kept in good condition — move-in ready while leaving room for a buyer who wants to put their own stamp on the interior. Think of it as a sound, well-maintained canvas rather than a renovation project. Ground floor living revolves around a large lounge with a proper wood-burning stove and a dining area that opens directly onto the patio through French doors. On a warm evening, that threshold between inside and out effectively disappears. You're eating outside, the lake thirty metres in front of you, the sun dropping behind the treeline. A well-equipped modern kitchen sits just off the main living space, practical and ready to use from day one. Two bedrooms and ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Louignac, before the rest of the world has quite caught up, the view from the pool terrace is the kind that stops you mid-coffee. Rolling green hills, not another rooftop in sight, just the odd buzzard circling over the tree line and the faint mechanical hum of a tractor somewhere far off in the Corrèze countryside. This is rural France doing what it does best — unhurried, unfiltered, and quietly extraordinary. This four-bedroom stone house sits at the heart of one of the Limousin's most genuinely peaceful corners. The region doesn't shout about itself the way Provence or the Dordogne do, and that's precisely the point. Property prices here still reflect reality rather than hype, the markets are full of locals rather than tourists, and the land rolls on in every direction without apology. For buyers chasing authentic French country life — not a postcard version of it — Louignac delivers. Step inside and the kitchen-dining room sets the tone immediately. It's a proper working kitchen, fitted and equipped, with enough space that Sunday lunch becomes an event rather than a logistics challenge. This room opens directly into the living area, where a pellet stove anchors the space — genuinely efficient, low-maintenance, and exactly what you want when October mist rolls in off the hills. The view through the back windows is the kind interior designers try to replicate with wallpaper. You won't need to. Behind the kitchen, a laundry room gives you the practical backbone every country house requires. But it's also a flexible space — with the right desk and a decent internet connection (fibre has arrived in much of rural Corrèze), it converts into a quiet home office without much effort. Remote workers and ... click here to read more

On a still April morning in Lussac-les-Églises, the fields around this old stone farmhouse turn into something you'd struggle to describe to someone who hasn't seen it themselves. Wild orchids push up through the grass in clusters, the kind of thing you read about in nature guides but rarely actually stumble upon. Swallows cut low over the carp lake. The only sound from inside the kitchen is the creak of a wooden beam settling in the warmth. This is what 4.7 hectares of organically managed Limousin countryside looks like when no one's been rushing it. This is a four-bedroom house in genuinely good condition, sitting on land that's been farmed without chemicals for fifteen years, with a small carp lake, maintained paddocks, a polytunnel, and a converted bread oven that serves as one of the most characterful ground-floor bedrooms you're likely to find anywhere in rural France. At 238 square metres, it has enough room to breathe — and enough quirks to make it feel like somewhere, not just somewhere else. The entrance hallway sets the tone immediately. Original encaustic floor tiles run the full length from front door to back, the kind that would cost a fortune to source and lay today. To the right, the living and dining room opens up around a proper fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, with exposed timber beams overhead that have been doing their job for well over a century. This is a room for long winter evenings, for board games with the grandchildren, for the specific kind of quiet that only deep countryside delivers. Then comes the bread oven room. Fully restored, converted into a ground-floor bedroom, and genuinely unlike anything else in a comparable property. The curved stonework has been kept intact. It's ... click here to read more

Friday morning. You unlatch the kitchen door and step out into the courtyard while the coffee is still brewing. Somewhere beyond the old gates, the weekly market on the Grande Rue is already in full swing — the baker from Rue du Marché has set up his table, and the smell of warm bread drifts over the stone walls. This is what life looks like in Richelieu, and this house puts you right at the centre of it. Cardinal Richelieu didn't just build a palace. He built an entire town from scratch in the 1630s — planned streets, a grid layout, arcaded market halls, and ramparts that still stand. It remains one of the most complete examples of 17th-century French urban planning in existence, and this three-bedroom house sits within those original walls, in the historic heart of it all. You're not on the edge of somewhere interesting. You are somewhere interesting. Step through the large gates into the shared courtyard and the house opens directly into a fitted kitchen of 12 square metres, tiled underfoot and practical in the best French sense — not a showroom, a room for actual cooking. A couple of steps up and you're in the dining room, 24 square metres with a fireplace and the kind of wooden floors that creak just enough to feel alive. Wall panelling in the reception rooms gives everything a settled, unhurried quality. A small door leads to a ground-floor WC, then along to the living room — another fireplace, more wooden floors, another reason to stay inside when October turns the town amber. Upstairs, the landing splits left and right. To the left, a 16-square-metre bedroom with fitted cupboards. To the right, a second WC. Keep going and you reach the shower room — a generous 15 square metres with shower, sauna, and sink. The ... click here to read more

For those seeking a rustic lifestyle blended with the charm of the French countryside, this 6-bedroom farmhouse located in the scenic area of Nérac, Aquitaine, presents a captivating opportunity. Set in the serene Lot-et-Garonne department, this property is perfect for those desiring spacious living, expansive outdoor options, and the potential to imprint their own style on their home. Spanning approximately 285 square meters, this farmhouse rests on over an acre of verdant land, brimming with potential for landscaping or agricultural ventures. The property includes an expansive 100 square meter outbuilding that could be transformed into additional living quarters, workshop, or storage space, and a sleek lap pool that complements the idyllic outdoor setting. Constructed from classic stone, the farmhouse radiates a robust and earthy charm. The ground floor boasts a grand entrance hall that leads into a harmonious blend of spaces including a cozy music room, a conducive study, and a generous living room adorned with a wood-burning stove for those cooler evenings. The heart of the home is a large, bright living room/kitchen/dining area featuring numerous windows and doors opening onto a welcoming wooden terrace, overlooking the inviting swimming pool—an ideal setup for family gatherings or casual entertaining. The home includes a ground floor bedroom equipped with a modern shower room and toilet, well-suited for guests or possibly as a master bedroom for those preferring single-floor living. The upper floor hosts two large bedrooms and a master suite, alongside another shower room and toilet, all accented by a spacious landing that could serve as an additional relaxation or reading area. While the property is structural ... click here to read more

Stand on the covered terrace on a July evening, a glass of Buzet red in hand, and watch the last light of the day settle over a medieval village rooftops and rolling Gascon hills. Church bells drift up from the valley. The smell of wild thyme rises from the stone walls. This is not a fantasy — this is Tuesday night at this three-bedroom stone house perched above one of Lot-et-Garonne's most quietly captivating corners, just minutes from the royal town of Nérac. The house itself is the kind of place that takes a moment to fully comprehend. Walking through the entrance hall and into the main living room, your eye goes straight up — a genuine cathedral ceiling, double-height, with exposed oak beams crossing overhead. The wood-burning stove sits at one end of the room like it has always been there, because it has. Original fireplaces anchor two separate reception rooms, and the stonework throughout speaks to construction that predates most countries on earth. At 175 square metres spread across three distinct levels, this is a home you can spread out in, not just visit. The layout rewards the way families and groups actually use a holiday home. Ground floor offers two bedrooms, each with its own private shower room and WC — so two couples can share without negotiating bathroom schedules at 8am. The mezzanine level, currently a sun-filled home office with beautiful beam detailing, leads to the third bedroom with its own en suite. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms total. Privacy is built into the architecture. Down on the garden level — and this is where the property genuinely surprises — you find a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with real character, a second sitting room with fireplace, and a bright veranda that the cur ... click here to read more
