Historic Pezenas 2-Bed Home: Renovated Gem with Garage & Balcony, Steps from Markets & 20 Minutes to Beach

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Javerlhac sits on about 6 hectares of land with no immediate neighbours, close to Nontron in the Périgord Vert. Three bedrooms, 103 m² of living space and 60,715 m² of land in total, for €144,700. That is a lot of room, and hardly any of it is shared with anyone. The house is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide what to change later. ### The House and Its 6 Hectares The house stands on its own, with no neighbours next door. Step outside in the morning and the only sounds are birds, wind in the trees and perhaps a tractor in the distance. For anyone tired of thin walls and shared driveways, that is the main attraction here. The land comes in two parts. Around 3 hectares adjoin the house, so you can see it and reach it on foot in a couple of minutes. A further 3 hectares lie separately, a short trip away. Together they give you a plot of just over 6 hectares, which is rare at this price in France. ### What You Can Do With the Land The adjoining hectares suit the things people usually dream about when they search for a country house with land in France: a few sheep or horses, a vegetable garden, an orchard of apple, plum and walnut trees, or simply a very large lawn that nobody else mows. The separate 3 hectares give you more freedom still. Depending on the soil and the planning rules, they could work as pasture, woodland, a hay meadow or a quiet corner for outdoor hobbies. Before you plan anything agricultural, check the land use and any access rights with a notaire. The surroundings are described as protected, so some restrictions may apply to new building. ### Living Near Javerlhac and Nontron The commune of Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert lies in the gree ... click here to read more

This 4-bedroom house for sale in Dordogne stands in Busserolles, minutes from Lake Grolhier, with 240 m² of living space and 7,300 m² of land. It is a stone house with a big fitted kitchen, a 54 m² living room and a quiet wooded plot inside the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park, priced at 336,200 EUR. The rooms are generous, the layout is easy to follow, and the grounds give you real privacy. Here is how it works day to day. ### The House: 240 m² of Stone, Beams and Chestnut Parquet You enter through a large, bright hall. To one side is the main living room, 54 m² with chestnut parquet, exposed beams and a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The stove also feeds the central heating, so on a cold Limousin-border evening it does the work of a boiler as well as being the focal point of the room. On the other side of the hall, a second room with its own wood-burning stove can serve as an office, a library or a small sitting room. The fitted kitchen measures 36 m² and opens straight onto an enclosed private courtyard. A pantry and a guest WC sit next to it. That is the layout for a long breakfast that turns into lunch. One bedroom is on the ground floor, next to a shower room with shower cubicle, washbasin and WC. That is handy for guests, for older relatives, or for anyone who would rather avoid stairs. Upstairs, the master suite covers about 34 m² and includes a dressing room and a private bathroom with bath, shower, washbasin and WC. Two further bedrooms and a family shower room complete the floor. The house has double glazing throughout. Besides the wood-fired heating, a reversible air-to-air heat pump provides heating in winter and cooling in summer. ### Outdoor Space: Courtyard, Terraces and 7,300 m ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Dordogne sits in the centre of Piégut-Pluviers and gives you 141 m² of loft-style space plus a 427 m² enclosed garden. Most of that space is in two large rooms, one per floor, which is a different proposition from the cramped village terraces you often see at this price. It is a semi-detached house with one bedroom, a pellet stove, a kitchen overlooking the garden and a short walk to the shops and the weekly market. The asking price is 180,900 EUR. ### Inside the House and Garden The ground floor is built around a 53 m² open-plan living area with lounge and dining space. A pellet stove warms it in winter, and the house is described as well insulated, which counts for a lot between November and March. Behind the living area you find the kitchen, which looks out over the garden, plus a laundry room and a separate WC. Washing up with a view of grass instead of a wall is a small thing, but you notice it every day. Upstairs is the whole sleeping floor: a 55 m² suite with exceptional ceiling height, its own shower room and a separate WC. There is a balcony as well. It is one very large bedroom rather than several small ones, so the house suits a single buyer, a couple, or someone who wants a base that feels spacious without a lot of rooms to heat and furnish. If you need a second bedroom for guests, that would be a project of your own, because the upstairs is laid out as a single suite. At the back, the enclosed 427 m² plot gives you private outdoor space right in the village. A working well with a pump is included, which is handy for watering the garden. A small outbuilding, which the sellers liken to an old pigsty, is useful for tools, bikes and garden furniture. The condition of the property is go ... click here to read more

This 4-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits a few minutes from La Rochefoucauld and gives you 210 m² of living space on a 1,128 m² plot. The village is Rouzède, a quiet commune in rolling countryside where the day starts with birdsong rather than traffic. The house is in good condition and priced at 263,700 EUR. Most of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, which makes it easy to live in all year round. It also works well as a second home you can lock up and leave. ### Inside the House: Four Bedrooms and a Mezzanine The main living room has large bay windows that open onto a covered terrace and the garden. In the evening you can switch to the lounge, where a fireplace with a wood-burning insert makes the room worth gathering in from autumn through spring. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens onto a large dining room, so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. Three bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master suite has its own bathroom. There is also a family shower room and a separate WC. The fourth bedroom has an en-suite shower room, which suits visiting friends, grown-up children or paying guests who want some privacy. Upstairs, a mezzanine gives you a spot for reading or a desk for remote work, with the rest of the house still within earshot. ### Garden, Terrace and Jacuzzi The plot covers 1,128 m² and the private garden looks out over open views, with nothing built up in front of you. Coffee on the covered terrace is the obvious way to start a summer morning, and the property also has a balcony. A 6-person Jacuzzi is there for year-round use, and it is just as good on a cold January evening as in August. Solar panels were installed recently, which should help with running costs in a house of this ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Charente, just outside La Rochefoucauld, comes with a self-contained ground-floor apartment and 1,231 m² of garden. It is a semi-detached home of 147 m² on two levels, in good condition, with four bedrooms in total, a garage and a workshop. You can picture it as a family home, a house shared by two generations, or a main house with a rental unit below. ### The House and the Apartment Below The main living level is upstairs. It holds a family kitchen, a dining room, a living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom, so everyday life happens on one floor. At ground level there is a separate apartment with its own kitchen, one bedroom and a shower room. That changes what the house can do. Parents or grown-up children can live close by without sharing a kitchen. Guests get their own space. Or you can rent the apartment out, which makes sense if you are looking at a holiday home in Charente that helps cover its own costs. Rental income is never guaranteed, so check local demand first, but the layout gives you the choice. The listing also suggests the space could work for professional use, such as a small studio or office. ### Heating, Energy and Running Costs The house has a heat pump and a wood-burning stove, so you are not tied to a single source of heat in winter. Solar panels heat the water, which should help keep bills in check over the year. Mains drainage means there is no septic tank to inspect or maintain, a detail that matters more than it sounds when you buy French property from abroad. Ask for the energy performance report (DPE) during your visit so you can see the exact rating. ### The Garden, Garage and Workshop The plot measures 1,231 m² and the setting is quiet and green. That is enoug ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Corrèze comes with a heated pool, two rented apartments and a 720 m² stable on 2.7 hectares near Pompadour. It is a working property rather than a quiet country cottage: a three-bedroom family house, two apartments already let, big stone outbuildings and room for horses, all on one detached plot in the Limousin countryside. ### A Rural Property with Rental Units Already in Place Most houses in this price range give you a roof and a garden. This one gives you a small estate. Besides the main house there are two separate two-room apartments, both currently rented out, so part of the property is already being used commercially. Anyone thinking about guest accommodation, a gîte-style business or a family compound will find the groundwork laid. The setting is detached, with meadow on every side. Don't expect neighbours looking over the hedge. Expect the sound of the paddock in the morning and a long drive back to the road in the evening. ### The Main House: 122 m² and Three Bedrooms The house itself is in good condition and has 122 m² of living space. Downstairs you come into an entrance hall, then a fitted kitchen and a large living room. There is also a separate office, which is useful now that so many buyers work remotely from their second home. A shower room with WC, a laundry room and a pantry complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with WC. The practical details matter here. Solar panels supply electricity to the property, fibre-optic internet is available, and the septic system is compliant. Those are the three things that most often cause trouble with rural French houses, and here they are already sorted. Outside, a 9 m by 4 m heated swimming pool with a cove ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits on 1,650 m² of private garden in Écuras, a short drive from Montbron. It is a detached family home of 142 m² in good condition, with two bathrooms, covered terraces and a place inside a quiet, green residential park. At €191,300 it gives a family, or two families sharing, a lot of room for the money. ### The House: 142 m² for Family and Guests The layout is built around shared time. A large living room runs into the dining area, and the fully equipped kitchen sits alongside. French doors from the living space open straight onto the terrace, so in summer the line between inside and outside mostly disappears. Lunch moves out without anyone carrying much. Upstairs and around the house there are four bedrooms, two of them very large. Two bathrooms mean a full house does not turn into a queue every morning. There is also a balcony, handy for a coffee before anyone else is up. The condition is good, so you can arrive, unpack and spend your first weeks using the place instead of fixing it. ### Garden, Terraces and the Pool The plot measures 1,650 m² and is lined with mature trees, which gives the garden real privacy from neighbours. That is not easy to find at this price. The terraces are partly covered, so an evening meal does not depend on the weather, and there is a built-in barbecue for long summer dinners. The property data lists a swimming pool. The Le Chat park around the house also has two pools of its own, so ask us to confirm whether a pool sits on this plot or whether you would use the park facilities. It changes the running costs and the upkeep, so it is worth knowing before you visit. ### Living Next to Le Chat Park in Écuras The house borders Le Chat Park, ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Haute-Vienne, near Château-Chervix, stands beside its own 3,070 m² spring-fed lake on 3.36 hectares. Woodland closes in around the plot, a private driveway is the only way in, and the nearest neighbour is more than 250 metres away. It is a lake house in Limousin for buyers who want silence, space and water on their own land, with a home that is already in good condition. ### The House: 84 m² Over a Full Basement The driveway passes a small stone-built cottage of one room before reaching the main house. Inside, the ground floor has an entrance hall, a WC and a single open-plan space for living, dining and cooking. A wood burning stove sits in that room, and French doors open onto a large stone terrace. Morning coffee there comes with a view straight over the lake. Upstairs are the three bedrooms. The house has one bathroom and a balcony, and the living area totals 84 m². That is modest by French country-house standards, but the space around the house makes up for it. Underneath is a full basement. It holds a garage, workshop and storage area, and there is a second garage under the terrace. A carport attached to the house takes two vehicles. Anyone with tools, bikes, a boat or a hobby that needs room will find plenty of it here. ### The Lake, Woods and Meadow The lake covers 3,070 m² and is fed by a spring. The plot as a whole is 33,641 m², a mix of open meadow and woodland, so you get both sunny space and shade. A hangar of about 30 m² gives you extra covered storage for a tractor, mower or firewood. The agent describes the lake as up to standard for use as a fishing lake. That makes the property interesting for a small fishing-holiday venture, or simply for a private pond to fish ... click here to read more

This 5-bedroom house for sale in Haute-Vienne sits in Saint-Mathieu, with 163 m² of living space, an 80 m² basement and a double garage. At €179,500 it works out at roughly €1,100 per m², and the plot is a fenced 1,297 m². The house is in good condition, with a recent pellet boiler and double glazing, so the real question is how you will use all the space. ### The House: Five Bedrooms on Two Floors You come in through the entrance on the first floor. The fitted and equipped kitchen is right there, with one door straight outside and another down to the basement, which is handy when you are carrying shopping or firewood. Next to it is a double living room with a working fireplace, where the family will end up on a January evening. Three bright bedrooms share the first floor with a bathroom (bath and shower) and a separate WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms add flexibility. One has a dressing area that still needs fitting out, and the other has its own washbasin with bidet and sink. There is also a shower room with a double vanity and storage units, plus a second separate WC. The large landing is wide enough to become a playroom, a reading corner or a desk for remote work. Five bedrooms makes this a house for a big family, or for two families sharing a summer. ### Basement, Garage and Garden The full basement covers 80 m² and does real work. The electrics were recently redone, there is a water point and sink for a washing machine, and the boiler room holds the pellet boiler, its silo and a thermodynamic water heater. Because the silo stores the fuel on site, you are not handling it bag by bag. Outside, the plot is enclosed and fenced, laid out with a courtyard and a lawn. A detached double garage stands at street level ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits in a quiet hamlet near Varaignes, with three bedrooms, a barn and 3,415 m² of land. The house has 88 m² of living space on two floors, and the plot is big enough for a vegetable garden, a small orchard or just a lot of grass to roll a mower over. It is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide on projects later. The asking price is €165,400. ### The House: Three Bedrooms on Two Floors You come in through an entrance hall that leads to the living room, which is the natural place for a wood-stove evening or a long Sunday lunch with the door open in summer. The kitchen is on the same floor. So are a bedroom, a shower room and a separate WC. That ground-floor bedroom is handy. Guests, parents or anyone who would rather skip the stairs can sleep there without sharing a floor with everyone else. Upstairs, a landing opens onto two more bedrooms, which gives the family or visiting friends a quiet sleeping floor of their own. The walls are old local stone, the kind of country house in Dordogne that looks right in the landscape and stays cooler when the summer heat arrives. ### Land, Barn and Open Views The plot covers 3,415 m² and is laid out as a garden around the house. Beyond the boundary there is open Périgord countryside, and nothing blocks the outlook. Morning coffee outside here means fields and trees, not a neighbour's wall. A detached barn stands on the land. Right now it works for storage, garden equipment or a workshop. Some buyers will see a conversion project in it, for a guest cottage or studio. Any change of use needs planning permission, so check with the local mairie before you plan anything. A plot this size also means upkeep. If you only use the h ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Puymoyen sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, a few minutes from Angoulême, on a 1,630 m² plot that could be divided. Living on one level matters more than it sounds. There are no stairs to climb with the shopping, it suits older relatives, and it is easy to lock up and leave for a few weeks. At 131 m² this is a family-size home, and at €251,300 it comes with far more land than most houses near a city of this size. ### The House: 131 m² on One Level The living space is generous. A separate living room and a lounge mean one can be the everyday room while the other stays quiet for guests or evenings with a book. The kitchen is fitted, so you can move in without a first-week shopping list of appliances. Three bedrooms share a shower room, with a separate WC. The insulated, tiled garage is the flexible space. It could become a fourth bedroom or a home office, which is useful if you work remotely or want a guest room with its own door. As with any conversion, check the planning rules with the local mairie before you commit. The practical work has been done. The windows are double glazed throughout, a heat pump was installed recently, and the house is connected to mains drainage, so there is no septic tank to inspect or maintain. ### The Garden, Double Garage and a Possible Second Plot The garden is large and fully enclosed, so children and dogs can run free without you checking the gate. There is room for a vegetable patch, a terrace for long lunches, or all of it left as lawn. A detached double garage gives you covered parking for two cars, or a workshop and storage for garden tools and bikes. The plot is also a possibility. The seller points out that it could be split in two, with tw ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente, in Mornac near Angoulême, has a 3.10 m ceiling living room, a veranda and an 810 m² fenced plot. Built in 2002 and extended with a veranda in 2010, it is in good condition and ready to live in. It has two bedrooms, 94 m² of living space and no stairs. At 199,000 EUR it suits anyone who wants a low-effort home in the French countryside, as a main residence, a second home in France or a rental. ### A Single-Storey House for Sale in Charente The living room is the first thing you notice. The 3.10 m ceiling makes it feel larger than its floor area suggests. The fitted and equipped kitchen is open to it, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. A fireplace with an insert takes care of cold evenings, and air conditioning deals with the hottest weeks of July and August. The veranda, added in 2010, is a bright extra room. Use it as a winter lounge, a reading corner or a second dining table when guests come. Light fills it for most of the day. Both bedrooms have a dressing room, a practical detail in a house of this size. The bathroom has a walk-in shower finished in natural stone. The layout is simple and everything is on one level, so there is nothing to rework and no space wasted on corridors. ### The 810 m² Plot, Terrace and Electric Gate The whole plot is fenced and closed by an electric gate. You can drive in, shut the gate behind you and be private straight away. If you plan to use the house as a holiday home in Charente and be away for weeks at a time, that security makes leaving much easier. A tiled terrace of 74 m² runs alongside the house, and the property data also lists a balcony. The terrace is large enough for a proper outdoor table and a few lounge ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Castelsagrat, the mist sits low in the valleys below and the only sound from the terrace is birdsong and the distant clank of a cowbell drifting up from the fields. You're holding coffee, the stone barbecue is still warm from last night, and the countryside rolls out ahead of you in every direction. This is what drew people to this corner of Tarn-et-Garonne long before the rest of the world caught on. This 19th-century stone house sits just outside one of the most quietly compelling villages in the department — a place with a proper boulangerie, a café where the locals actually linger, and a rhythm of life that feels deliberately unhurried. At 110 square metres across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it's the kind of house that works hard in all seasons. The walls are thick, the floors are tiled, and the sitting room log burner throws enough heat to make February evenings genuinely cosy rather than something to endure. Step inside and the character hits you immediately. Exposed stone, original beams overhead, and a country kitchen that's made for slow cooking — the sort of room where someone inevitably ends up opening a second bottle of wine because the cassoulet needs another hour. The layout is practical without being clinical. The large storage rooms running off the main living space are a genuine opportunity: convert them into a guest annex, a home office, or additional accommodation for rental income. The bones are there; it just needs a vision and a builder. No close neighbours. That's not a throwaway phrase here — it genuinely means you can open every window on a summer night, eat dinner outside at ten o'clock, and not worry about a soul. The terrace is large enough to matter, with a buil ... click here to read more

Saturday morning, and the smell of buckwheat crêpes drifts out from a van at Loudéac's market — you grab a coffee from a café table, watch the cheese seller argue cheerfully with a regular, and think: this is yours now. Twelve minutes from here, back down the country road toward La Prénessaye, the garden is waiting. This is the kind of place that people who know Brittany look for, and rarely find at this price. A solid four-bedroom cottage sitting on just over an acre of land in the Côtes-d'Armor, with the Voie Verte greenway literally three minutes on foot from the front door. That detail matters more than you might think. The Voie Verte — a converted railway line turned cycling and walking trail — cuts through some of the most quietly dramatic countryside in central Brittany. You can be on it before your morning coffee has cooled. The house itself is spread across three floors, with 127 square metres of habitable space that feels bigger than it sounds. Rooms are generous and properly proportioned — the kind of proportions French rural houses do well, where ceilings are high enough that you don't feel compressed on a grey autumn afternoon. Natural light moves through the spaces throughout the day. The fitted kitchen is modern and functional, the two bathrooms are in good order, and there's a living room with a wood-burner that makes November feel like an event rather than something to endure. Two reception rooms give you flexibility — a reading room, a playroom for the grandchildren, a home office for those who still need to keep one foot in the working world. Practical updates have already been handled. New windows throughout, a new septic tank installed, and the property is well insulated — which in rural Brittany ... click here to read more

Early on a Tuesday morning in Saint-Cernin-de-Labarde, the only sounds are wood pigeons in the oak trees and the faint clang of the Issigeac market setting up four kilometres down the road. You could be drinking coffee on your terrace, looking out over 14,195 square metres of your own land, watching the mist burn off the Périgord hills. That is not a fantasy. That is an ordinary Tuesday when you own this house. Built in 2013, this timber-frame property sits at the quiet edge of a small village, positioned almost exactly between Issigeac and Villeréal—two of the most historically rich towns in the Dordogne. The house is not old and crumbling and romantic in the way that requires a decade of renovation money. It is well-constructed, energy-efficient, and genuinely move-in ready. That matters more than people admit until they've spent a summer watching contractors not show up. The ground floor has a proper layout for real life. A living room that gets afternoon light, a kitchen set up for people who actually cook—not a show kitchen, but a professional-style space with the counter room and equipment to handle a big family lunch or a dinner party of eight. There is a bedroom and shower room at ground level, which means guests or elderly family members never have to deal with stairs. The large reception room is separate enough to feel like its own world—good for a home office, a studio, a music room, or simply a space where teenagers can disappear and leave the adults in peace. Upstairs, four rooms including two bedrooms and an attic give you the flexibility to configure the space around however your life actually runs. The basement deserves a mention because in this part of France, a good basement is genuinely useful. Car ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Pays des Bastides and the only sound is a woodpigeon calling from the oak tree at the edge of the field. You're standing in 4,000 square metres of your own land, coffee in hand, looking at a barn that's still waiting to become exactly the house you've always had in your head. That's the thing about this property near Boisse — it doesn't hand you someone else's vision. It hands you a blank canvas with real bones. The barn itself covers approximately 200 square metres on the ground floor, with structural capacity for a second floor of over 140 square metres — more than 340 square metres of living space in total once you build upward. A separate hangar of 300 square metres sits alongside, useful for a workshop, a gîte conversion, storage for a boat or two canoes, or simply the kind of breathing room you never get in the city. Outline planning consent is already in place, which is a significant step forward in France and removes one of the most time-consuming hurdles international buyers typically face when purchasing rural property here. The setting is the Dordogne département, specifically the Pays des Bastides — a stretch of rolling agricultural land in southern Périgord that most tourists miss entirely because it doesn't sit on the main Dordogne River tourist corridor. That's precisely what makes it special. The roads here are quiet. The hamlets are working ones. Saint-Léon-d'Issigeac is just down the lane, and Issigeac itself — a genuinely intact medieval bastide village with its Thursday morning market — is close enough to cycle to on a flat day. The market there is the real thing: local farmers selling walnuts, black truffles in season (December through February, and they are extraordinary), du ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Charente countryside sounds different from anywhere else in France. The birds start before the light does, and by the time you've made coffee and pushed open the terrace doors, there's nothing between you and a wide green horizon except your own 7,000 square metres of garden, a few oaks, and the distant church tower of Mansle catching the early sun. That's the daily reality of this four-bedroom house just outside Mansle-les-Fontaines — a genuinely well-built contemporary home from the early 2000s that's been looked after with real care, set in a quiet hamlet a couple of kilometres from everything you actually need. Let's talk about the space first, because 160 square metres of living area spread thoughtfully across two floors makes this feel like a proper family home rather than a weekend squeeze. The ground floor revolves around a 40-square-metre living and dining room that gets generous natural light throughout the day. It's the kind of room that naturally absorbs a family gathering — long lunches that drift into afternoons, kids spread across the floor, someone always in the kitchen. That kitchen, at 19 square metres, is large enough to be genuinely functional, not just a gesture toward cooking. Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor too, alongside a bathroom, a separate WC, and a pantry and laundry room that handles all the practical business of a real home. Head upstairs and there's a fourth room currently working as a bedroom or office, with its own private shower room and toilet — ideal for older kids, guests who want independence, or anyone who needs a quiet corner away from the rest of the house. The underfloor heating on the ground floor is worth pausing on. It's the kind of detail that ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a November morning and watch mist roll off the wooded acres behind the stone walls, curling around the old longère like smoke. The fire's already been lit — the cast-iron stove in the living room takes the edge off fast — and the only sound is the distant caw of rooks settling in the tree line. This is Ménéac, deep-green Brittany, and this place is the kind of property that stops serious buyers mid-scroll. Set in a small hamlet just 2.1 kilometres from the village of Ménéac itself, this substantial granite house sits on roughly 6.3 hectares of mixed land, part cultivated, part wooded. It's been divided into two fully independent dwellings — a detail that changes everything about how you might use it. One wing for your family, one for guests, rental income, or an elderly relative who wants proximity without sacrifice of privacy. The arithmetic of that arrangement is immediately appealing for anyone buying a second home in France who wants flexibility without compromising the experience of actually being there. The main dwelling opens at ground level into a living room anchored by an open fireplace paired with a wood-burning stove — two heat sources, which tells you something about how the previous owners felt about Breton winters. Through from there, a fitted kitchen and laundry room keep the practical side of things contained, along with a ground-floor toilet. Head upstairs and you get a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, a second family bathroom, a further bedroom, and a room currently used as an office but easily repurposed. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with fireplace and stove, a kitchen-dining room (combined this time, which most families ... click here to read more

Nestled in the charming village of Nizas, Herault, this beautiful winegrower's house offers a unique blend of character and modernity, making it an appealing choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the French countryside's serenity while enjoying a home that meets all the modern lifestyle needs. With a total living space of 210 m2 spread over two distinct units, this property provides ample space and flexibility, whether you're considering a generous family home or an opportunity to generate rental income. The main house boasts a lively and artful mix of history and comfort across its 128 m2, featuring three well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a cozy living space. Meanwhile, the independent flat offers an additional 82 m2 containing two bedrooms and merges seamlessly with the main structure but retains an element of privacy thanks to its separate entrance. The flat, freshly renovated, showcases a modern fitted kitchen and a spacious living area, perfect for guests or as a rental possibility. Stepping outside, you're greeted by a picturesque 62 m2 front garden that leads you into the home, welcoming passing neighbours and friends into a personal slice of tranquility. To the rear, a large terrace of 110 m2 offers an expansive outdoor living space ideal for dining under the stars or simply soaking up the Languedoc sun. Living in Nizas presents a lifestyle filled with ease and convenience blended with the authentic charm of a French village. For daily necessities, the village caters well with local shops and delightful restaurants, ensuring that essentials—or a charming dining experience—are just a stroll away. Even more, the village is strategically positioned; just a short drive from th ... click here to read more

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Roujan, this delightful 4-bedroom house offers an inviting escape for those seeking a second home in the enchanting region of Herault, France. With its traditional architecture and modern comforts, this property is a perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary living, making it an ideal holiday retreat or investment opportunity. A Glimpse into Roujan's Allure Roujan is a quintessential French village, brimming with character and history.
