Description
Alright, sorry for the delay, I’m juggling a few appointments today but want to give you all the details you need! I’m going to give you the honest story about this house in Eymet (Aquitaine region, SW France), perfect for folks moving in from abroad, or anyone looking to settle in this scenic part of France. I work for a large international agency with buyers from all over, so I know the kind of info you’ll want if this is your first move.
So, to start—this is a *detached stone house* with plenty of character, but also practical and comfortable. It’s got a total of 4 bedrooms – 3 are in the main house, and the fourth is in a separate guest house. To be clear, the house is in good general condition and ready to live in straight away, so you don’t need to worry about big renovations, just the usual personal touches to make it your own. Sometimes rural properties in France need everything doing, but not this one, it’s already got double glazing, oil heating and a proper wood burner for those winter nights.
This house sits between the towns of Eymet and Lauzun, about halfway—good for access and you’re not isolated at all, but you get nearly 4 hectares of rolling land, orchards, and open countryside. It’s a quiet, rural setting with proper privacy, so you won’t have close neighbours looking in. The property’s accessed via double gates, so there’s a nice sense of arrival as you come up the long drive.
Living in Eymet is a unique experience, especially if you’re coming in as an expat or from abroad. This small medieval town is full of atmosphere, with an active community of both French and international residents – especially Brits, Dutch, and other Europeans. There’s always a market day (big one is Thursday) and events year round. You can sit outside with a coffee nearly any time of year thanks to the Dordogne’s gentle climate—it’s realy quite mild for France, fairly warm spring through autumn, winters never too hard.
Eymet has several bakeries, grocers, nice restaurants—some are open all week, others close a day or two, but there’s always something. Lauzun is a bit quieter but you’ll find everything practical. Bergerac airport is less than 30 min drive for easy international travel. Bordeaux airport is just over an hour away.
Daily life here revolves around the community, nature and eating well. In summer, expats and local families gather by the river or lakes (at Lauzun or nearby), or head to the Dordogne for canoeing or fishing. There’s a tennis club, walking routes straight out the gate, and loads of local vineyards to visit—all open for tastings. If you’re working remotely, there’s decent internet in most of the area but do check for your exact provider.
Now, about the house itself—let’s take a walk through. Once you’re inside, you’ve got a spacious living room as your main hub, with a new wood stove that’ll heat the whole place in winter. There’s oil central heating as well but honestly, many owners just use the fire most evenings. The kitchen is functional and has everything you need, maybe not high-end luxury but definitely practical, and you could easily make cosmetic changes if you want an upgrade—totally up to you.
The bedrooms in the main house are proper doubles, decent natural light. The bathroom (just 1 at present, so you’ll need to juggle morning routines if you’ve got a big family or many guests) is in good nick, no urgent jobs needed. The guest house is a real bonus—great if you want to rent it for gîte income, use for visiting family, or just have extra space for hobbies or working from home.
The land is the big seller here. There's a *small orchard*—apples and pears mainly, plus a few plums—already productive and manageable, not so big you need to hire help. Outbuildings are in usable state, some have potential for conversion if you want a workshop or studio, or even extra accommodation (always check the planning rules first!). If you’re into gardening or want to keep chickens or a couple of sheep, you’ve got the space.
House is connected to water, electricity, and septic tank system (as almost all of rural France). Mobile signal is decent, fibre optic being rolled out across the area but may need checking for exact property.
Here’s a snapshot of what you get:
- 4 bedrooms (3 in main house, 1 in guest house)
- 1 bathroom (main house)
- Total living size about 118m2
- Set on around 38,200m2 land (about 3.8 hectares)
- Stone construction, traditional style
- Double glazing throughout main house
- Oil fired central heating
- New wood burning stove
- Detached guest house (1 bedroom)
- Outbuildings for storage, animals, or possible conversion
- Small but productive orchard
- Electric gate entry
- Parking space for several vehicles
- Rural, non-isolated location between towns
- Nice views of countryside all around
Living in a house like this in rural France is about fresh air, space, privacy, and a slower pace of life. It’s not for you if you need to hop on the metro every morning, but if you want to walk your dog on ancient tracks, sip wine on the terrace at sunset, and still nip out for pizza in Eymet, it’s a great choice. Not everything is shiny-new, but it’s solid and has a lot of flexibility for your plans over the years. The house is ready to move into —you could update kitchen/bathroom over time, or just enjoy as-is.
If you’ve got questions about buying in France as a foreigner, or you want organise a viewing (in-person or by video call), just get in touch. Sorry if I’m slow to reply, it’s a busy time, but I’ll answer as soon as I can!
