Renovation Project in Guéret - €82.5K

Sunday morning in Savignac-Lédrier, and the smell of woodsmoke curls up from the stove before you've even put the kettle on. Through the kitchen window, open fields stretch out to the tree line, the kind of view that makes you put your phone down and just stand there for a minute. This is rural Dordogne — unhurried, deeply rooted, and still genuinely affordable for buyers who move quickly. At 99,000 euros for a four-bedroom stone village house with a flower garden and unobstructed countryside views, this property sits in a price bracket that barely exists in France anymore, particularly in the Dordogne — a département that has quietly become one of the most sought-after corners of southwest Europe for second home buyers from the UK, Netherlands, and Scandinavia. The bones are solid, the condition is good, and someone has clearly loved this house for years. It shows. Step inside through the entrance hallway and you're immediately greeted by a small interior courtyard bursting with potted plants and climbing flowers — the kind of detail that takes years to cultivate and costs nothing to inherit. The ground floor opens into a generous living and dining room anchored by a wood-burning stove, which transforms the space from October through to March when the Périgord evenings drop sharply. There's a fitted kitchen that actually functions — not a renovation project, but a room you can cook in from day one. A ground-floor bedroom with its own wood-burning stove and a built-in library doubles brilliantly as a reading room or a guest suite for friends who can't manage stairs. A shower room with WC completes the lower level. Upstairs, three further bedrooms and a bathroom with WC give the house real flexibility — a family with c ... click here to read more

Sunday mornings in Montmorillon smell like warm bread. The boulangerie on Rue du Marché opens early, and if you leave the courtyard door cracked, the scent drifts straight through to the kitchen. That's the kind of town this is — small enough to feel like yours, interesting enough to never feel dull. This 51-square-metre stone house sits right in the heart of Montmorillon, one of those genuinely underrated pockets of the Vienne département that most international buyers haven't discovered yet. And that matters. The Poitou-Charentes region has been quietly attracting second-home buyers from the UK, Netherlands, and Scandinavia for over a decade, but Montmorillon itself remains refreshingly local — no tourist traps, no inflated prices, no weekenders crowding the terraces. Just an honest French market town with a lot going for it. Step inside and the fireplace is the first thing you notice. Cast iron wood-burning stove tucked into the hearth, stone surround, the kind of setup that makes a February evening feel like the point of the whole trip rather than something to endure. The living room is compact but genuinely comfortable — a sofa, a glass of Charentais wine, something good on the screen or nothing at all. French shutters keep the summer heat out and swing open in the morning to let the courtyard light flood in. The kitchen is separate and functional, nothing you need to rip out or apologise for. The bedroom is a proper room, not a converted cupboard — enough space for a double bed, storage, and natural light. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a shower, which is rarer than it should be at this price point. The roof was completely redone in 2024, so you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance. That al ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning and you'll hear the weekly market stalls being set up on the square—the clatter of metal frames, a vendor calling out to a neighbour, the smell of warm bread drifting up from the boulangerie two doors down. That's the rhythm of Saint-Savin, a town in the Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region that most visitors discover by accident and never quite stop thinking about. This four-bedroom stone house sits right in the thick of it, in the historic core of a place that has been quietly going about its business for centuries without needing to shout about it. The façade is the real thing—aged stone that has absorbed decades of Atlantic light and turned a particular shade of warm grey that no architect can reproduce. Step inside and the scale surprises you. The volumes are generous in a way that old French country houses understand intuitively: high ceilings that keep rooms cool in July, thick walls that hold the warmth in November, and a sense of permanence that newer builds simply can't fake. At 151 square metres, there is genuine breathing room here—four bedrooms that can comfortably host a family across generations, or a group of friends who've finally committed to that long-planned French summer. Below the main living space, the vaulted cellar is the kind of feature that stops people mid-tour. Stone arches, proper depth, and a natural chill that makes it ideal for wine storage—which, given the proximity to the Futuroscope corridor and the vineyards of the wider Vienne valley, is not a minor consideration. Several outbuildings sit around the property, and multiple entrances give the whole place a flexibility that's rare at this price point. Split it into separat ... click here to read more

On a quiet summer evening in Bourg-de-Visa, you pull a chair into your stone courtyard, pour something cold, and listen. Swallows cutting low arcs over the square. A muffled football commentary drifting from Rémy's café across the way. The smell of bread from the village boulangerie still hanging faintly in the warm Quercy air. This is not a simulation of French village life — it's the actual thing, and this 19th-century stone house sits right at the center of it. The house occupies an almost theatrical position on a secondary square, its stone frontage running nearly the full length of one side. That matters more than you might think. In a village this size, your address is your identity, and this one announces itself with quiet confidence. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three barns, a sheltered courtyard, off-street parking, and a small garden — all of it in genuinely good condition, all of it inside walking distance of everything Bourg-de-Visa has to offer. Step through the entrance and you're into a large open-plan living space that the current owners have transformed with real care. A log-burning stove anchors one end — a genuinely useful thing here from October through April, when Tarn-et-Garonne mornings carry a sharp chill. The kitchen is modern and properly fitted, which anyone who has renovated a French country property will tell you is a gift not to be taken lightly. It opens directly onto the courtyard, that private outdoor room that becomes the true heart of the house from May onwards. Aperitifs out there on a June evening, the old stone still warm from the afternoon sun, is the kind of simple pleasure this property was made for. Period features survive throughout — exposed stonework, original proportions, ... click here to read more

The church at La Porcherie rings at eight on Sunday mornings, and if you're sitting at the fireplace in the front room of this century-old house, you'll hear it clearly through the thick stone walls. That's the kind of quiet this place offers — not the performative countryside quiet you read about in travel supplements, but the real, deep silence of the Haute-Vienne bocage, broken only by birdsong and the distant rumble of a tractor working the fields. It's a rare thing. And at this price, rarer still. Built around 1900 and extended in the 1970s, this four-bedroom house sits in a small rural hamlet roughly two kilometres from La Porcherie village. The setting is genuinely pastoral — 380 square metres of land, a proper front garden with room for a table and chairs under whatever shade tree you'd plant in your first spring, and open views across the rolling Limousin countryside that shift with every season. In April the meadows go acid green. Come July, the sunflowers along the D15 toward Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche are head-height. By October the oak woods around Coussac-Bonneval turn the colour of old copper. The house itself runs to six rooms across two floors. Ground level gives you an entrance hall, a kitchen space, a living room anchored by a working fireplace, and a separate office — useful if you're one of the growing number of international buyers who've realised that a Limousin holiday home can double as a remote-working base for the price of a city parking space. Upstairs, four proper bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The footprint is honest: 120 square metres of real living space, not inflated by corridors or cupboards counted as rooms. Attached to the main house is a 27-square-metre garage — big enoug ... click here to read more

Some mornings in Masseret, the only sound is the wood-burning stove ticking to life and the distant call of a kite circling above the tree line. You push open the kitchen shutters and the Corrèze countryside rolls out in front of you — green fields, oak woodland, farmsteads half-hidden in the folds of the hills. It's the kind of view that makes you put the coffee down and just stand there for a while. This 132-square-metre stone house sits in the commune of Masseret in the Corrèze department, one of the least-crowded and most quietly compelling corners of the Limousin region. The price — €180,000 — reflects the real French countryside, not the glossy version sold to tourists. This is the France that locals actually live in, and it's exactly what draws a growing wave of international buyers looking for something genuine. The house reads as traditional from the outside: natural stone walls, a slate roof, timber detailing around the windows. These aren't cosmetic additions. They're original, and they carry the kind of weight and texture that new builds spend fortunes trying to fake. The mature garden wraps around the property — established trees, flowering shrubs, a sense of things that have been growing here for decades. You won't be planting hedges and waiting ten years for privacy. It's already here. Step inside and the living room does the work that every French country house should. Exposed oak beams run across the ceiling. The wooden floors are warm underfoot even in January, which matters here, because Limousin winters are real winters — crisp, clear, properly cold. The fireplace is the room's anchor, with a wood-burning stove that connects directly to the central heating system. So you're not choosing between atm ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Verfeil, and the smell of fresh bread from the boulangerie at the end of the lane drifts through the kitchen window before you've even made coffee. That's not a fantasy — it's just Tuesday here, or any other day of the week. This is a village with an actual bakery, an actual restaurant, and an actual rhythm that you slot into almost immediately. The house itself is built from the same warm ochre stone you see throughout this corner of the Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne borderlands — thick walls that keep things cool in July and hold heat in February. It's been restored with care. The kind of restoration where someone made good decisions: a quality kitchen that doesn't feel like a showroom, a dining area that flows without forcing it into an open-plan living space, all on the ground floor so there's a logic to how you move through the day. Cook, eat, spill out onto the terrace. It just works. And that terrace. There's a generous covered area purpose-built for long lunches that start at one o'clock and end when the light changes — something the French have perfected and visitors quietly adopt. Beyond it, the garden drops into a plunge pool, cold enough to actually matter during the weeks in July and August when temperatures in this part of Occitanie climb well into the mid-30s. Shade, stone, water. You don't need much more than that. Back inside, the stairs take you up to two bedrooms on the first floor, each with its own ensuite — so two couples, or parents and older children, can coexist without the usual morning queue for the bathroom. Then above that, the attic bedroom. It's the kind of room that people argue over quietly: sloped ceilings, the faint creak of old timber, a sense of being under the rooftop ... click here to read more

Step out of the front door on a Sunday morning and the smell of fresh bread from the boulangerie two streets over drifts past you before you've even decided where to walk. That's Castelsagrat. A proper bastide village perched above the rolling farmland of Tarn-et-Garonne, where the main square still functions exactly as it was intended — people gathering, locals arguing cheerfully over pétanque, market stalls spilling color onto the old stone paving. This three-bedroom house sits just off that square on a quiet side road, and the address alone tells you something: you're in the middle of the action, but shielded from it. The building has its own quiet history. Before it became the house it is today, it was a workshop where craftsmen built wooden horse-drawn carriages — you can still feel that purposeful, practical quality in the bones of the structure. Thick 19th-century stone walls that keep rooms cool through the heat of July. Ceiling beams worn smooth. Wide wooden floorboards that creak in exactly the right places. The previous owners had the good sense to leave all of that alone and simply update around it — the kitchen is fitted and contemporary, the bathrooms are clean and modern, and part double glazing means the winters are manageable without the kind of heating bills that haunt older stone properties. The layout makes everyday life easy. The sitting room is on the first floor, elevated above the lane below, so the log-burning stove does its work while you watch the light change across the valley through the windows. In autumn, when the plane trees along the road start dropping leaves and the air sharpens, this room becomes the reason you bought the house. The kitchen opens directly onto a balcony — not a symbo ... click here to read more

Step off the narrow lane on a grey October morning and you can already smell woodsmoke curling from the chimney insert before you've even pushed open the front door. That's the thing about stone houses in Corrèze — they hold heat, hold history, and hold you in a way that a modern build simply never will. This four-bedroom stone village house in Lascaux sits in one of the least-trumpeted corners of the French countryside, which is precisely why it's worth paying attention to. The Corrèze department, tucked into the northern reaches of the old Limousin region, draws almost none of the tourist crowds that swarm the Dordogne just to the southwest — yet the landscape is, if anything, more raw and more rewarding. Rolling chestnut forests, granite outcrops, winding rivers cold enough to make you gasp in August. It's France before it became a postcard. The house itself covers 65 square metres across two floors, with a clear and logical layout that makes every square metre count. Downstairs, an entrance hall leads into a kitchen and a living room that opens into a lounge anchored by a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning insert. On a February evening with a Corrèze walnut cake resting on the counter and a bottle of local Marcillac wine open on the table, that insert becomes the social centre of the entire house. Upstairs, four bedrooms — generous in number for a property of this footprint — share a bathroom with WC, with a shower room and separate WC also available on the ground floor. The attic adds further storage or, with the right planning permissions, development potential. Directly opposite the house stands a barn of 66 square metres with an additional lean-to. In the hands of the right buyer, that barn is a project wort ... click here to read more

On a still weekday morning in Bourg-de-Visa, the smell of fresh bread drifts from the boulangerie four minutes' walk up the lane before you've even thought about making coffee. That's the pace of life here — unhurried, rooted, real. This 1850s stone barn, once a working forge, has been carefully converted into a two-bedroom house that sits quietly behind a stone wall on the village edge, its garden opening up to rolling Tarn-et-Garonne countryside that stretches further than you'd think possible for somewhere so easy to reach. Midi-Pyrénées is one of those parts of France that doesn't announce itself loudly. No famous coastline, no ski resort posters plastered at Charles de Gaulle. What it has instead is the kind of slow, unselfconscious rural beauty that people spend years searching for and rarely find — and Bourg-de-Visa sits right in the heart of it. The village has genuine life to it. A weekly market, a café where the same retired farmers have been occupying the same chairs since the 1980s, and those summer night markets that run through July and August: outdoor tables, local wine, grilled meats, children chasing each other between the stalls until well past dark. It's the France visitors imagine and tourists rarely stumble across. The house itself carries its history well. The original stone walls are thick enough to keep rooms cool through the heat of a Quercy summer — and this corner of France runs hot from June through September, with long golden evenings that make the tiled terrace off the kitchen feel like an extension of the living room. Step through the gated entrance off the lane, and the first thing you notice is the well at the centre of the lawn, flanked by established trees that throw proper shade. The ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Coussac-Bonneval, the only sound you'll hear from the kitchen window is birdsong and the faint clang of the village church bell marking the hour. That's not a selling point — that's just Tuesday. This is a corner of rural France that hasn't been polished for tourists, and that's exactly what makes it worth your attention. This three-bedroom stone village house sits in the heart of Coussac-Bonneval, a quietly compelling commune in the Haute-Vienne department of Limousin, and it has been fully renovated without losing the bones that make it genuinely special. The original parquet floors are still there, worn smooth in the best possible way. The exposed timber beams cross the ceilings upstairs with the kind of presence you simply can't recreate. Two fireplaces anchor the interior, and a wood-burning stove in the living and dining room turns a rainy October evening into something you'd want to repeat every year. At 153 square metres spread across two levels, the house has real breathing room. The ground floor opens with an entrance hall that leads into a generous 39-square-metre living and dining space — French doors push open to a south-facing terrace, and in summer you'll barely bother eating indoors. The kitchen is fully fitted and functional, with a ground-floor WC keeping the layout practical. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two bathrooms, each with its own WC, plus a further separate WC — sensible for families or groups of friends who all need to be somewhere at the same time on a Saturday morning. Outside is where this property really opens up. The walled garden runs to 1,101 square metres, giving you genuine privacy without feeling like you're managing an estate. There's a paved terrace for lo ... click here to read more

There's a particular kind of quiet you only find in the deep Poitevin countryside — the sort that isn't silence so much as a conversation between wind, birdsong, and the occasional church bell rolling over from the village. Standing on the elevated terrace of this former railway gatekeeper's house in the hamlet of Logerie, that quiet settles over you fast. And then you start wondering why you ever lived anywhere else. This is a genuinely rare find. The house was originally built to serve the old railway crossing that once ran through this corner of the Vienne department. The line closed decades ago, and in its place grew a green corridor — a long, tree-lined walking and cycling track that now stretches peacefully past the garden boundary. The history didn't disappear; it just got quieter. On mornings when the light comes in low and gold through the kitchen window, you can almost imagine the old gateman stepping out to wave down a steam locomotive. The property itself sits in good condition throughout, updated thoughtfully without gutting the period character that makes it worth caring about. The kitchen is the obvious centrepiece — a proper farmhouse-style space fitted with shaker-style units, deep work surfaces, and enough room to actually pull a chair up and eat in there without anyone feeling cramped. It looks out over the enclosed garden, which means you catch the changing light across the grounds while you're making coffee. That matters more than you'd think. Original wooden floorboards run through the living room, worn in just the right places. A wood-burning stove sits in the corner, which gets genuinely useful in December when the Vienne valley gets a proper chill, and a discreet air conditioning unit handles ... click here to read more

There's a particular kind of quiet you don't find easily anymore. Stand on the veranda of this stone cottage on a Tuesday morning in October, coffee in hand, and you'll hear it — the faint rustle of chestnut trees dropping their load, a crow somewhere across the valley, nothing else. No road noise. No neighbors. Just the old Limousin countryside doing what it's done for centuries. That silence is something people drive three hours from Paris for and never quite find. Here, it comes with the property. Sitting roughly halfway between Meuzac and Coussac-Bonneval on a quiet country lane in Haute-Vienne, this one-bedroom stone cottage is the real thing. Not renovated into some sanitized holiday pastiche — it's a genuine old Limousin farmhouse, the kind with thick granite walls that keep rooms cool in July and warm on damp November afternoons. The bones are solid. The character is intact. Inside, the living room is anchored by a wood-burning stove. Light it on a cool spring evening and the whole space transforms. The kitchen runs adjacent — functional, honest, and large enough to actually cook in, not just heat things up. Through to the bedroom, which is generous for a single room, the kind of space where you actually sleep rather than lie awake. The bathroom has a proper bath, WC, and the utility room adds a shower and second WC — a practical layout that works just as well for a couple spending six weeks a year as it does for someone planning longer stays. But the veranda is where life really happens in this house. Decked and enclosed enough to use in shoulder seasons, it opens to a view that rolls out across open farmland with no rooftop or telegraph pole to spoil it. Morning light comes in from the east. Evenings turn go ... click here to read more

On a quiet morning in Troche, the smell of woodsmoke drifts from a neighbor's chimney and the church bell marks eight o'clock. You're standing at the kitchen window with a coffee, looking out at the rear garden where the light is still low and golden. This is what life in rural Corrèze actually feels like — and this four-bedroom stone house puts you right at the center of it. The house itself tells its own story in the way only old French stone construction can. Thick walls that keep rooms cool in August and hold the warmth of a fire in January. The renovation has been done properly — no cosmetic shortcuts, no half-finished rooms — and the result is a home that's genuinely move-in ready without sacrificing any of the original character. The large living room is the heart of it all: high ceilings, a working fireplace that you'll actually use, and doors that open directly onto the garden. On rainy autumn afternoons, this room becomes everything. Books, wine, the fire going, the sound of rain on old stone. The layout is generous for a village house of this size. Four bedrooms means real flexibility — a master suite with its own shower room, three further rooms that can rotate between guest quarters, a home office, or space for children to claim as their own territory. A bathroom with WC, a separate WC for busy mornings, a dedicated laundry room so the practicalities stay out of sight. Downstairs, a large vaulted cellar with proper stone arching — the kind of space that begs to be used for something: wine storage, a workshop, cold storage for produce from the local markets. And above it all, an attic with genuine conversion potential, should you want to add living space or create something entirely new. Vehicle access to ... click here to read more

Sunday mornings in Payzac sound like this: a wood pigeon calling from the oak trees at the back of the garden, the faint creak of a neighbor's gate, and the smell of pine resin warming in the sun. By 9am you've already walked the village, picked up a baguette from the nearest boulangerie in Saint-Paul-la-Roche, and you're back at the kitchen table with coffee going cold because you got distracted staring out at the 861 square meters of garden that is now, improbably, yours. That's the pace of life this house delivers. Solid, unpretentious, and genuinely liveable, this 1980s village house in the Dordogne sits in the heart of Payzac — a small commune in the northern Périgord Vert, where the countryside rolls in deep greens and the population still knows its neighbors by name. At 106 square meters of living space, plus a full basement and a 64 square meter attic ready for conversion, there is far more room to grow here than the price of €148,000 might suggest. The layout works the way a family home should. You come in through a proper entrance hall — not a door that dumps you straight into a living room — and from there the house opens logically. The fitted kitchen is functional and ready to use from day one. The living room has a fireplace insert, which matters more than people realize until their first Dordogne November, when the mist sits low over the Auvézère valley and you want nothing more than a real fire and a bottle of Bergerac rouge. Three bedrooms, a shower room, and a toilet complete the ground floor. Below it all, the basement holds a garage and an office — practical spaces that international buyers often find invaluable for storage, a workspace, or housing a car year-round. The attic is the quiet opportunit ... click here to read more

Stand in the courtyard on a Tuesday morning and listen. A cockerel somewhere down the lane, the faint clatter of a tractor crossing a distant field, and absolutely nothing else. That's Saint-Germain-les-Belles — a village in the green, rolling middle of the Haute-Vienne that most people drive past on the A20 without realizing what they're missing. This traditional stone farmhouse, complete with a two-storey barn and a clutch of outbuildings on roughly 1,300 square metres of land, is exactly the kind of find that people spend years searching for and rarely locate at this price point. Let's be honest about what's here. The farmhouse itself is small — two ground-floor rooms, a kitchen with an open fireplace that you can already imagine lit on a January evening, and a bedroom. Above, an attic that's structurally ready to be opened up into additional sleeping space. It's not a finished holiday home. It's better than that. It's a blank page in stone and old oak timber, and the potential locked inside this plot is genuinely unusual for under 60,000 euros anywhere in France. The barn is the real headline. Two full storeys, each around 50 square metres, built from the same honey-coloured local stone as the farmhouse. Converted, and the combined living space on this property tips past 150 square metres — a four or five-bedroom maison de caractère that would sit comfortably in any estate agent's window at three or four times the acquisition and renovation cost combined. That's not wishful thinking; it's what's happening all along the Corrèze and Haute-Vienne corridors as buyers from the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany quietly and methodically renovate these properties and either keep them as generous family holiday bases or let ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Dordogne has a particular quality to it. The bells from the village church drift through the upstairs windows, the courtyard is already warm by nine, and the boulangerie in Montagrier is just a five-minute drive away. That's the rhythm you're buying into with this five-bedroom village house in Tocane-Saint-Apré — and at €141,700, it's one of those rare finds that still exist in deepest Périgord Blanc. This isn't a polished renovation project with an inflated price tag. It's an honest, substantial village house in good habitable condition, with real bones and real character — stone walls, high ceilings, a generous living and dining room that feels like it was made for long lunches — and a private courtyard just off the kitchen where you'll find yourself drinking coffee long after everyone else has gone back inside. The kitchen opens directly onto this sheltered outdoor space, which makes summer evenings here genuinely easy. No hauling dishes across the garden. Just step out, sit down, let the evening stretch. Five double bedrooms across the upper floors means this house handles a full family or a rotating cast of guests without anyone feeling squeezed. Three bathrooms keeps the morning routine civilised. The large attic adds headroom for storage or, with the right vision and the necessary permissions, something more interesting still. Two cellars for wine — this is the Dordogne, after all — and a utility room with an oil-fired boiler complete the practical picture. Then there's the annexe. Attached directly to the main house, a separate 55m² structure that currently works well as workshop or storage space. With renovation — again, subject to the usual permissions — it becomes a self-contained gîte ... click here to read more

Pull up to the rue on a warm September morning and you'll already understand why people keep coming back to Perpignan. The air carries a mix of grilled sardines from a nearby brasserie, a faint salt edge rolling in from the Mediterranean forty kilometres east, and the dry warmth that the Roussillon plain holds long after the rest of France has surrendered to autumn. This is a city that doesn't perform for tourists — it simply lives, loudly and confidently, and this four-bedroom detached house on a quiet street close to all amenities puts you right inside that daily rhythm. The house sits on three free-standing sides with no overlooking neighbours, which in a Catalan city packed with character and density is genuinely hard to come by. At 110 square metres across two levels, the layout currently runs as two separate dwellings — a feature the original owners used pragmatically, and one that hands the next owner serious options. Keep both units intact and you have a ready-made rental setup in a city with strong year-round occupancy, driven by students at the Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, medical tourism at the Centre Hospitalier, and the steady stream of visitors drawn to the Côte Vermeille from April through October. Knock through and reconfigure, and you get a generous four-bedroom family home with space to breathe in ways that most city-centre properties at this price point simply don't allow. Yes, this is a renovation project. Let's be straight about that. Floors, kitchen, bathrooms, heating, insulation — all of it needs attention. But that's also exactly the reason the price sits at €142,000 for a freestanding house in a southern French city where the food is extraordinary, the sun shows up reliably about 300 d ... click here to read more
