Description

Welcome to a quaint and captivating house in Étouars, a serene commune in the Aquitaine region of Dordogne, France. This property, a former forge, offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to embark on a renovation project that promises not just a home but a slice of French historical charm.

The house currently comprises two ground-floor rooms with a spacious attic above, which spans approximately 50 square meters. This attic space offers potential for conversion into two bedrooms and a bathroom, subject to the necessary permissions. The authenticity of the house is preserved with original features like the classic sink and a grand fireplace in the kitchen, hinting at the property’s rich past. A rear room opens to a private garden, offering views over tranquil fields, ideal for peaceful mornings.

While the house beams with potential, it is a true fixer-upper with significant renovations required. The roof, in particular, needs attention with the main beam and structure necessitating replacement. An adjoining barn offers further opportunity for expansion, transforming this space into additional living quarters or perhaps a workshop, again subject to relevant permissions.

The setting is equally enchanting, with a lovely private garden in the back and a traditional courtyard at the front, featuring a functioning well and various outbuildings that await restoration. The property is semi-detached, with a currently unoccupied neighboring house, ensuring privacy and tranquility.

Located in a peaceful hamlet, the essence of countryside living can be genuinely appreciated here with numerous walking paths right at your doorstep, amidst lush natural landscapes. Despite its secluded feel, the house is merely a five-minute drive from the lively village of Piegut-Pluviers. This village hosts the largest weekly market in the region, perfect for sourcing local products and integrating into the community. Additionally, Piegut-Pluviers offers a range of shops and amenities that cater well to daily needs.

The local climate in Dordogne is temperate with comfortable summers and cool, but not harsh, winters. Living here allows one to experience all four seasons, each bringing its own charm and range of activities, from summer walks in the verdant fields to cozy winter evenings by the fire.

For potential buyers, especially overseas or expats, embracing life in Étouars can be both a serene and invigorating experience. The natural beauty of the area provides a calming retreat from the bustling city life, while the close-knit community offers a warm welcome and ample opportunity to engage in local traditions and festivities.

- One bedroom and one bathroom with potential for more

- Private garden with views of fields

Living here allows for a balanced lifestyle where quiet, natural beauty and a sense of community play pivotal roles. Whether you're looking to embrace a simpler way of life or undertake a rewarding renovation project, this house offers vast potential nestled in a part of France renowned for its history and charm. Engage with the local culture, explore your surroundings, and create a home that’s truly your own in the heart of Dordogne.
