Description

Nestled in the charming village of Bussière-Poitevine in Limousin, Haute-Vienne, this beautiful three-bedroom house offers an intriguing blend of traditional charm and modern conveniences, making it an ideal choice for a family home or holiday retreat. Priced at €239,000, the property features a generous total living space of 178 square meters where each of the bedrooms is complemented by its own en suite bathroom, providing privacy and comfort for residents and guests alike.

The house stands proudly with a panoramic unobstructed view across vast, open fields, offering both an intimacy with nature and a remarkable feeling of openness. The overall condition of the house is good, yet like many homes set in rural landscapes, there are always opportunities to enhance and personalize spaces to better suit individual tastes or family needs.

Stepping inside, you're greeted by a cozy living/dining room adorned with traditional exposed stone and wooden beams, and a welcoming fireplace with a wood burner that promises warmth during the cooler months. Adjacent to this area is a fitted country-style kitchen that opens onto a covered dining terrace, designed thoughtfully with both sunny and shaded areas for dining and relaxation. This layout is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet family meals while taking in the stunning vistas.

Beyond the communal areas, the ground floor also hosts a craft room and a cloakroom, which adds to the functionality of this home. The upper level of the house is accessed via a vaulted landing that leads to the main bedroom, which features a smart dressing room, an en suite bathroom, and doors that open out to a raised terrace. This spot provides a serene setting for evening relaxation with breathtaking views.

In addition to the bedrooms and bathrooms, the usefulness of the property is extended with a very convenient laundry room and a large 40m2 games room which is ideal for entertaining or could be converted into additional bedrooms or living spaces, subject to the appropriate permissions. Adjacent to the main house, an attached barn and a workshop offer extensive storage or further conversion opportunities.

The gardens of the property sprawl over an impressive 6000m2 and include various terrace areas, each offering different views and seating arrangements. The presence of fruit trees, bushes, and a vegetable growing area not only enhance the greenery but also invite the possibility of a sustainable lifestyle.

The local area of Bussière-Poitevine, just a 2-minute drive from the property, offers daily essential services, adding to the convenience of rural living without isolation. The larger towns of Bellac and Le Dorat are each within a 15-minute drive and provide further amenities including train stations. Additionally, Limoges airport is approximately 50 minutes away by car, facilitating easy travel to and from the area.

Living in Bussière-Poitevine offers a unique blend of rural tranquility and community spirit, complemented by the scenic beauty of the Limousin region. From leisurely countryside walks and historical explorations to engaging in local festivities and markets, there is much to do and enjoy in this peaceful part of France.

This house, while in good condition, presents a wonderful canvas for those looking to imprint their own style and perhaps undertake some updates or renovations to truly make it their own. The natural beauty of the area, coupled with the realistic opportunities the property offers for enhancement, makes it an attractive proposition for overseas buyers and expats seeking a taste of the French countryside life.

This house for sale in Fondettes sits on a 1,000 m² garden, a few minutes from Tours and the banks of the Loire. It is a 1970s home in good condition, with three bedrooms and two shower rooms spread over two levels. The address is what makes it work. You get a quiet residential street, shops, schools and public transport close by, and the city of Tours on your doorstep. Few places this near a Loire Valley city come with a garden of this size. ### A 3-Bedroom House in Fondettes, Touraine The main floor has about 86 m² of living space and is air-conditioned. The living room is roughly 25 m² and has an insert fireplace, so evenings in the cooler months are sorted. The kitchen is fitted. There are two bedrooms, a shower room with natural light and a separate WC. The lower level opens onto the garden and adds a lot of flexibility. It holds a third bedroom with its own shower room. Use it for guests, as a home office, or as a self-contained space for a family member or a teenager who wants some independence. There is also an enclosed veranda, designed to accommodate a platform lift. If you are thinking about long-term living, or buying for parents who may need easier access between levels, that detail matters and is hard to add later. ### The Garden, Cellar and Garage The plot is about 1,000 m², a generous size for a house this close to Tours. The garden level gives direct access outside, so the lower bedroom and the lawn work as one space in summer. Below the house you will find a cellar and a garage. The cellar suits wine, tools and seasonal storage, and the garage means you do not have to leave the car on the street. If you plan to use the house as a second home in France, storage like this makes locking up and leav ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Bléré is a 19th-century Touraine farmhouse with a 40 m² cathedral-ceilinged living room and a vaulted cellar. It stands on an enclosed 398 m² plot near the village of La Croix-en-Touraine, in Indre-et-Loire. Small outbuildings share the garden, and every ground-floor living space opens onto a sunny terrace. ### A Touraine Farmhouse for Sale near Bléré Built in the 19th century, the house keeps the proportions you expect from a traditional Touraine farmhouse, and the data lists its condition as good. The plot is fully enclosed. That matters if you travel with a dog or children, or if you simply want to lock up and leave between visits. The small outbuildings in the garden are useful for tools, bikes and firewood. Check their state and permitted use during a viewing. The location is quiet, yet the shops and services of Bléré are close. For anyone looking for a second home in France without the crowds of the coast, that balance is hard to find. ### Inside the House: Layout and Light You come in through an entrance hall with a built-in wardrobe. The kitchen is large, fitted and equipped, and it opens straight onto the terrace. Morning coffee outside means carrying a cup through the door. The main room is the living and dining space, about 40 m² under a cathedral ceiling, with parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove. Above it, a mezzanine adds roughly 20 m² of extra space, enough for a desk or a small library. Also on the ground floor are a bedroom with French doors, a separate office, a bathroom with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, a WC and a small utility room. The attic floor holds two more bedrooms and a WC off the landing. That makes three bedrooms in all, one of them on the ground fl ... click here to read more

A 133 m² house for sale in Ruelle-sur-Touvre, Charente, with five bedrooms, a garage and a private garden, close to Angoulême. Built in the 1970s and kept in good order, it stands on a quiet residential street where the shops, the schools and the local market are all within walking distance. The asking price is €180,900, which buys a lot of room in this part of France. ### A 1970s Family House on a Quiet Street This is a townhouse spread over two levels, and it has been looked after. Recent renovations, double glazing, electric shutters and air conditioning are already in place. What is left is cosmetic: fresh paint, perhaps new flooring, a kitchen finish chosen to suit you. You can move in first and decide on the details over the first winter. The garden surrounds the house and gives it real privacy. At 389 m² the plot is big enough for a table outside, a few vegetable beds or somewhere for children to play, yet small enough to keep tidy without giving up your weekends. ### Inside: Five Bedrooms Over Two Levels On the first level you come into an entrance hall, then the living-dining room. A bay window floods it with light, a French door opens on the garden side, and there is a fireplace for the colder months. The kitchen is separate, so cooking smells and dinner-party chaos stay out of the main room. A hallway leads to the sleeping area, set apart from the living space. It holds three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and one extra room that could become a dressing room. On the ground floor are two more bedrooms, recently fitted out, with their own shower room. That makes a natural spot for teenagers, a guest suite or a home office. This level also has a large garage with a PVC door, a laundry and boiler room ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Gers, at Saint-Aunix-Lengros, stands on 1.8 hectares with solar panels, its own well and a jacuzzi terrace. Everything is on one level, the energy label is A, and the land is big enough for horses, sheep or a serious vegetable garden. It is a practical country house more than a showpiece. The heating, hot water and electricity have all been updated in the last few years, so a buyer can move in and spend the first summer outside rather than on a building site. ### The House: 169 m² on One Level The living room measures 32 m² and has a fireplace with an insert, which is where you will spend most winter evenings. The kitchen is a separate room of the same size, and a door leads straight from it onto the rear terrace. Breakfast outside is easy to arrange. There are four bedrooms, at roughly 15.5 m², 15.5 m², 18.2 m² and 19 m². They are genuinely large, so children, guests or a home office will not feel squeezed. A single bathroom serves the house, which is worth knowing if you plan to host a full family. Some rooms need refreshing with paint and finishes, but the overall condition is good. A closed garage and workshop of 36 m² completes the house. The single-storey layout also makes it easy to live in at any age, with no stairs between kitchen, bedrooms and garden. ### Land, Terrace and Outbuildings The plot totals 17,796 m². Part of it is built up and the majority is agricultural land, which suits keeping animals. Neighbouring fields are also farmland, so nobody looks into the garden. Existing dependencies include a kennel, a carport and a chicken coop. The 54 m² terrace at the back holds a jacuzzi, and it is included in the sale.

This single-storey house for sale in Charente stands in Aussac-Vadalle, with three bedrooms, an office and a 1,500 m² plot. It was built in 2013, everything is on one level, and the condition is good, so there is no renovation list waiting for you. For buyers shopping for France real estate they can move into rather than rescue, that matters. The village is quiet, yet Mansle is about 10 minutes away, Champniers about 15, and the main roads are quick to reach. ### A Single-Storey House Built in 2013 The house has 106 m² of living space on a single floor. That suits families with small children, owners who want to avoid stairs, and anyone planning to stay for decades. The main room is a large, bright living room that opens onto a fitted kitchen, so the cook stays part of the conversation. There are three bedrooms, plus a separate office that can double as a fourth bedroom when guests arrive or the family grows. A shower room and a separate WC cover the bathroom side. A pantry and laundry room keeps the washing machine and the bulk shopping out of the kitchen, and the attached garage gives you covered parking or a workshop corner. Outside, the plot measures 1,500 m². That is room for a vegetable patch, a play area for the children, or a terrace you design yourself, and it is still a lawn you can mow in an afternoon. The seller describes the setting as sunny and calm. ### Living in Aussac-Vadalle and the Charente Countryside Aussac-Vadalle is a small rural commune in the Charente département, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, which many buyers still know as Poitou-Charentes. Days here are quiet. Schools are close by and organised as an RPI, the system in which neighbouring villages share school sites, and everyday ame ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Côtes-d'Armor sits near Plémet and comes with four bedrooms, a stone-walled living room and a 1,039 m² enclosed garden. It is a renovated stone house with a new roof, a wood-burning stove and gas central heating. A two-storey garage and a former gîte add room to grow. Inland Brittany is quieter and far cheaper than the coast, and this house shows what that buys you: 123 m² of living space, a big plot and a village with its own lake. ### The House: 123 m² of Stone, Four Bedrooms You come in through an entrance hall that leads straight to the living room. The exposed stone walls are the first thing you notice, and the wood-burning stove is the second. On a wet Breton evening, which you will get, that corner is where everyone ends up. The kitchen/diner is large, big enough for a proper table and for cooking while others sit and talk. A downstairs cloakroom saves a trip upstairs. Gas central heating runs through the house, so it stays comfortable outside the summer months and is easy to leave ticking over if you only visit now and then. There are four bedrooms, which makes the layout easy for a family, for visiting friends, or for a home office alongside the guest rooms. There is one bathroom. If you have a larger group in mind, that is the one thing to weigh up. The house is in good condition, and the renovation included a new roof, usually the biggest single expense on an old stone building. ### Garden, Garage and the Former Gîte The garden is enclosed and covers about 1,039 m². That is enough for a vegetable patch, a lawn for children, and a table outside for long summer lunches. Because it is fenced, young children and dogs can play without constant supervision. The garage is on two floors. ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Corrèze has five bedrooms, a large pool and a fishing lake across the road in the village of Saint-Pardoux-Corbier. It stands on 5,480 m² of grounds and offers 181 m² of living space, three bathrooms and a three-car carport. The condition is good and the kitchen is newly fitted, so the work here is mostly about moving in and unpacking the suitcases. ### A 5-Bedroom House in the Limousin Countryside Start in the kitchen. It is spacious and newly fitted, with a large utility room next to it that keeps laundry and muddy boots out of the main living space. The lounge opens onto a terrace, so doors can stay open on summer evenings and the room spills outside naturally. One bedroom is on the ground floor, with its own en-suite bathroom containing a jacuzzi bath and a separate shower. That suits grandparents, guests, or anyone who would rather not climb stairs at the end of the day. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a balcony. One of the upstairs rooms is large enough to be converted into a self-contained apartment or guest suite. Certain kitchen units and appliances are available for it, and there is a separate access if you want to go that way. Any conversion is your call, and it is worth checking requirements with the local mairie before planning works. ### Pool, Outdoor Dining and 5,480 m² of Grounds The large swimming pool is the centre of the garden. Beside it is a substantial outdoor dining area that seats eight, which is the sort of detail that decides where lunch happens from May to September. A three-car carport covers the vehicles, which matters in a rural area where nobody arrives by bus. The grounds are spacious an ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente sits in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe, on a fully fenced 736 m² plot with open views and two terraces. It is listed as a four-bedroom home with 100 m² of living space, in good condition and ready to move into. The elevated position is what you notice first: the ground falls away in front, nothing blocks the view, and the garden feels more open than most village plots at this price. ### The House and Its Fenced Plot Everything is on one level, which makes daily life straightforward. You enter through a hallway into a bright living room, with an open-plan kitchen next to it. There is a shower room and a separate toilet. The sleeping accommodation is arranged around the hallway, and the listing counts four bedrooms in total. The layout described by the owner has three bedrooms plus a 21 m² pantry that can be fitted out however you need, as a fourth bedroom, an office, a playroom or a workshop. Any change of use is worth checking with the local mairie before you start. Outside, the plot is enclosed on the front, the rear and one side, so children and pets have a safe space from day one. A carport is attached to the side of the house. There are two terraces, and one of them faces the best of the view. That is the one for morning coffee and for long summer evenings when the light drops over the countryside. The house also has a balcony. The energy performance label is D, which is average for rural France and a sensible starting point if you later want to improve insulation or heating step by step. ### Everyday Life in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe Roullet-Saint-Estèphe is a quiet commuter village in the Angoulême area, a short drive from the city, in a part of the country where houses with r ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom house for sale in Morbihan stands on 3,201 m² of countryside near Lignol, with only one neighbour to the rear. It is a bourgeois-style home of 160 m² in good condition, built with a raised ground floor over a full basement. The price has recently been reduced for a quicker sale. Old stone, wooden parquet and a wood-burning stove sit alongside a modern kitchen, and the layout suits everyday living as well as long holidays. ### The House: Raised Ground Floor and Upstairs Bedrooms You enter through a large hall on the raised ground floor. To the left is the living and dining room, which is the best room in the house. It has original wooden parquet underfoot, an exposed stone wall and a wood-burning stove that will see you through a Breton winter evening. To the right is the fully equipped modern kitchen, a good fit if you like to cook rather than just reheat. Behind the kitchen is a laundry room with its own separate WC. There is also an opening that could easily be turned into a door, giving you indoor access to the garage behind. On a wet day, and Brittany has plenty of those, you will be glad of it. Upstairs, a landing leads to the first bedroom, which has a feature fireplace. Next come the bathroom, with both a bathtub and a shower, and a separate WC. Beyond that is the master bedroom. In total the house has four bedrooms and one bathroom, so if you plan to fill it with family or guests every summer, keep that ratio in mind. ### Basement, Garages and Attics The working side of the house is generous. A full basement runs beneath the living space, with a boiler room alongside it. At the back are two attached garages, enough for a car and a workshop, or two cars and the garden equipment that a plot ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Deux-Sèvres has 214 m², four bedrooms and 5,160 m² of grounds with outbuildings, in the village of Vanzay. It is a detached country house with exposed stone walls inside, a 98 m² garage, a traditional stone barn and enough lawn and mature trees that you will not hear the neighbours. The asking price is €150,000, agency fees included, which is a lot of space for the money in this part of western France. ### The House: 214 m² on Two Floors You come in through an entrance hall with built-in storage, which opens into the living room. This is the room that sets the tone: exposed stone walls, a wood-burning stove and fitted cupboards. Behind it sits a separate fitted kitchen with room for a dining table, so cooking does not have to compete with the sofa. The ground floor also holds an office of more than 30 m². That is bigger than many bedrooms, and it suits remote work, a studio, a workshop for hobbies or a games room. Two bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC open off the hallway. An unheated conservatory looks onto the garden. It will not be a winter room, but it is a good place for coffee in spring and autumn. One room on this level is still to be finished. It has exposed beams and its own door to the outside, and it could become a second kitchen, a lounge or a principal bedroom suite. A separate utility room takes care of laundry and storage. Upstairs you find two more bedrooms, a second office and a dressing room. The listing is in good condition overall, so the unfinished room is the main project rather than a long list of repairs. ### Outbuildings and 5,160 m² of Land A gate opens onto a gravel driveway. Beyond it, the plot is mostly lawn broken up by mature trees. At just over half a ... click here to read more

House for sale in Var near Rougiers: a 3-bedroom semi-detached villa with a 484 m² garden, within walking distance of an 18-hole golf course. Built in 2002 and in good condition, it sits inside a gated residential park with its own pool and tennis courts. The asking price is €289,000, and the furniture is not included, though it can be negotiated separately. ### The Villa: Layout and Condition The house is semi-detached and arranged over two floors, with 92 m² of living space. That figure includes the integrated single garage, so the habitable area is a little smaller than the headline number. Plan around that if you are comparing it with other listings. You enter through a hall with a guest toilet. The living room and fitted kitchen share one open space on the ground floor, and French doors lead from there onto a sunny terrace and the garden. The master bedroom is also downstairs. It has its own French doors to the garden and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, washbasin and toilet. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a second bathroom with a shower. Both floors have tiled flooring, which keeps the house cool when the Provençal summer sets in. Heating is by electric radiators. The villa dates from 2002 and is in good condition, so this is a house to move into rather than a renovation project. ### The Garden and the Gated Park The 484 m² plot is landscaped and wraps around the house. For a semi-detached villa that is generous. There is room for a dining table under the open sky, and the master bedroom opens straight onto the garden. Views run towards the Massif de la Sainte-Baume, the rocky ridge that shapes the skyline here. The villa belongs to a secure, gated park with a shared swimming pool, tennis courts a ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Amboise has five bedrooms, a 35 m² living room with fireplace and a 741 m² garden, close to schools and the town centre. It is a traditional detached home on a quiet residential street, in good condition, with room for a large family or for guests all summer. At €299,000 with agency fees included, five bedrooms and 187 m² of living space is hard to find this close to the Loire. ### The House: 187 m² and Five Bedrooms You come in through a wide entrance hall with a built-in cupboard and coat storage, which is useful when five people arrive at once with luggage. The main room on the ground floor is the living room, about 35 m². It has a fireplace fitted with an insert, so winter evenings have a focal point, and a glazed door that opens straight onto the terrace. The kitchen is fitted and equipped. A separate laundry room keeps the washing machine out of sight, and there is a WC on this floor as well. Upstairs are five large bedrooms, each with its own built-in wardrobe. That is the real strength of the layout. Nobody has to share, and a spare room can become an office without anyone losing a bed. The first floor also has a bathroom, a separate shower room and a second WC. With one bathroom listed in the data, it is worth checking how the sanitary spaces suit your household when you visit. ### Garden, Terrace and Light The plot measures 741 m² and the garden is partly planted with trees. The house faces south-east and north-west, so the morning sun reaches one side and the evening light the other. The terrace is well exposed, which makes it the natural spot for breakfast in spring and long dinners in June. A garage and a garden shed come with the property. Garden tools, bikes and a lawnmower ha ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Hautefort, Dordogne, offers eight bedrooms, a 70 m² reception room and a large barn on 3,890 m² for €259,000. The price has come down from €284,000 and the house is back on the market. It sits in Saint-Agnan, a village within the commune of Hautefort, close to everyday amenities. Few Dordogne properties at this price give you this much room to work with, whether you want a big family home, a second home in France or a guest-house project. ### The House: 309 m² with Eight Bedrooms The house is built in two parts. An older section keeps its original character, and a more recent part has been added alongside it. Together they give 309 m² of living space, eight bedrooms and two bathrooms. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a ruin waiting for a roof. The main reception room measures more than 70 m². That is the room where a large family gathers for a long Sunday lunch, or where guests would sit down together after a day out in the valley. With eight bedrooms and two bathrooms, anyone planning to host regularly will want to think about adding a bathroom. The layout gives you space to do that. ### Barn, Bread Oven and Garden Outside, there is a large barn with an open section, which gives you plenty of options for later development. A bread oven in perfect condition stands on the property, a feature most buyers only see in restoration projects. The agent also reports a well that never runs dry. The garden is planted with trees, and part of it is buildable. The data for this property lists a swimming pool and a waterfront setting, while the agent's text talks about the possibility of creating a pool. Please ask us to confirm both points before you plan a trip. The size and the barn als ... click here to read more

A house for sale in Haute-Vienne with a 2,489 m² plot, a 40 m² terrace and 77 m² of basement, in Chaillac-sur-Vienne. This is a 74 m² home with two bedrooms, set on a plot big enough to garden, park, tinker or simply keep a comfortable distance from the neighbours. It is in good condition, so the work ahead is about making it yours rather than making it habitable. For a buyer looking at the Limousin, it offers a lot of usable space for the money. ### The Living Space: Two Bedrooms and a Pellet Stove You come in through an entrance hall, which keeps muddy boots and coats away from the main rooms. That matters in a green, damp corner of France. From the hall you reach a fitted and equipped kitchen, so you can cook on the first evening without buying anything. Next to it is the bright living and dining room, where a pellet stove does the heating work on cold nights. The sleeping area has two bedrooms, a modern shower room and a separate WC. The layout is simple and easy to live in. It suits a couple, a small family, or a retired owner who wants guest space without a large house to maintain. Outside, the 40 m² terrace is the room you will use most from spring to autumn. Put a table out there, open the doors from the living room, and lunch becomes a long affair. ### The Basement and the 2,489 m² Plot As a semi-basement house, it has a whole extra level under the living space: 77 m² with a large garage, a storage room and a flexible area. The seller suggests a workshop, a playroom or more storage. A garage this size is rare in a house of this price. It gives you room for a car, a boat, bikes, garden machinery or a winter project. The plot measures 2,489 m² and is described as secluded. That is enough land for a vegetab ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Dordogne, near Mareuil en Périgord, comes with 1.9 hectares of fenced woodland, a 125 m² barn and a second house to renovate. It sits at the end of a quiet hamlet, so the only traffic you are likely to hear is your own. For a family after space, or a buyer who wants a rural base with room to grow a guest-accommodation project, the combination is hard to find at this price level. ### The House: Five Bedrooms and 186 m² The main house has 186 m² of living space and a layout that suits family life. Downstairs there is a large kitchen, a separate dining room and a living room. Upstairs you will find all five bedrooms and the bathroom, which keeps the sleeping floor self-contained. The condition is good, so you can move in and live here before deciding what, if anything, to change. Heating comes from a water-to-water heat pump that draws on a borehole on the plot. That is worth asking about at a viewing, as running costs and servicing history matter for a house this size. With five bedrooms and only one bathroom, some buyers will want to add a second one. The upstairs space should leave room for that, though you would need a local builder to confirm what is practical. ### Barn, Bread Oven and a Second House to Renovate The outbuildings are what set this house for sale in Dordogne apart from the usual village house with a garden. There is a 33 m² garage and an adjoining barn of roughly 125 m². A barn that size can be a workshop, a storage space for a classic car or a boat, or a covered space for family gatherings. Converting it to living space would need planning permission, so check the rules with the mairie before you plan anything. Then there is the bread oven. It measures 12 m², and the owners ... click here to read more

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

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

On a Sunday morning in Adriers, the bells of the Church of Saint-Hilaire carry across the courtyard before you've even had your first coffee. That church has been standing since the 11th century. This former presbytery, built in 1832, has been watching it the whole time. You step out through the kitchen onto the garden, the grass still damp, and it hits you — this is not a house that tries to impress you. It simply does. At 524 square metres spread across a meticulously restored ensemble of buildings, this chateau-scale residence in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes is one of those properties you genuinely don't forget. The main house alone runs to nearly 340 square metres of living space, and the first thing that stops you in the entrance hall is the Moorish-style vaulted staircase — a sweeping architectural statement that belongs in a different century entirely, yet feels completely at home here. Whoever commissioned that staircase had opinions, and you're glad they did. The reception rooms are lit the way old stone rooms always are in the Charente summer: long and golden in the afternoon, cool in the morning, with proportions that make modern houses feel like shoe boxes. The kitchen pulls everything together the way a good kitchen should — it's generous, sociable, and opens directly onto the garden so that the line between inside and out more or less disappears when you want it to. Overhead, a glass-roofed office surveys the grounds in quiet authority, a space where the 19th century and a very considered 21st-century architectural intervention coexist without a hint of friction. Upstairs, the principal suite runs to approximately 50 square metres on its own — a full bedroom world with room to breathe. Three ... click here to read more
