This restored 18th-century coaching inn is a three-bedroom house for sale in Corrèze, in the village of Segonzac, with a stone barn and 5,864 m² of land. Inside, a dining room fireplace and a multi-fuel stove in the living room set the tone for the 155 m² of living space. The restoration used quality natural materials and kept the character of the old building. The outbuildings give you room for projects of your own. ### Inside the Former Coaching Inn The ground floor is organised around the kitchen and dining room. The fitted kitchen opens straight onto the dining room, where a fireplace anchors the space. Think long lunches in autumn with the fire lit and the door to the garden left ajar. Next door, the living room has a multi-fuel fireplace, so winter evenings are covered. There are three bedrooms. The master has its own en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms share a separate shower room with WC, and there is also a second WC with a washbasin. A pantry takes care of storage for the kitchen. The windows are double-glazed aluminium, and fibre-optic internet is already installed. That matters if you plan to work remotely for part of the year. Above, the large attic is described as suitable for conversion. It could become extra bedrooms or a studio, subject to the usual structural checks and planning permission. ### Barn, Bread Oven and Vaulted Cellar on 5,864 m² The land is where this house stands apart from a typical village home. A 127 m² stone barn with a tiled roof stands nearby. It is a solid base for a workshop, covered storage, guest accommodation or a hobby space, depending on what you need and what permissions allow. Former stone pigsties of about 36 m² and a traditional bread oven add to the group of ... click here to read more

This restored farmhouse for sale in Haute-Vienne, at Saint-Bazile, has a separate guest cottage, a 10 x 5 m pool and about 2 hectares of land. The house dates from around 1650 and began life as a dairy farm. It has since been restored and is sold fully furnished, so the next owner can arrive with a suitcase and cook dinner the same evening. With 317 m² on two levels, five bedrooms and a self-contained cottage, it works as a large family home, a base for friends and relatives, or a second home in France that could also host paying guests. ### A Restored 17th-Century Dairy Farmhouse The thick stone walls are the first thing you notice, and they do real work: stone keeps the rooms cool in summer, and the attic is insulated, so the house is meant to be comfortable all year, not only in July. Many old farmhouses are not. On the ground floor there is a bright 24 m² living room and a separate, fully equipped kitchen, which means cooking and sitting down are not squeezed into one space. A guest suite with its own shower room and WC sits on this level too, handy for older relatives or anyone who prefers not to climb stairs. Upstairs you will find three further bedrooms, three shower rooms, a bathroom and five separate WCs. Nobody queues in the morning, even with a full house over the school holidays. ### The Guest Cottage: Space for Visitors or Rental The fifth bedroom is in a self-contained cottage on the ground floor, with its own shower room and kitchenette. Visitors can keep their own hours, and you keep your breakfast table to yourselves. It also gives the property flexibility as a holiday home in Limousin. You could host family for free, or offer the cottage to self-catering guests. Anyone planning regular rental sh ... click here to read more

On a still morning in the Aude countryside, you can step out onto the covered balcony with a coffee and hear almost nothing. A woodpigeon, maybe. The soft rush of the stream threading through the woodland at the bottom of the meadow. Then silence again—the particular silence of 2.8 hectares that belong entirely to you. This is Villebazy, a hamlet tucked into the rolling green hills of the Languedoc, and this four-bedroom villa is one of those rare finds that doesn't announce itself loudly. It doesn't need to. The distinctive Basque-influenced architecture—white rendered façades, deep red timberwork, wide roof overhangs—gives it a quiet confidence. It sits on its own land, properly private, with mature trees forming a natural boundary around the open meadow behind the house and a small woodland beyond that. No neighbours peering over the fence. No road noise. Just space. Inside, the ground floor is organised around a generous living and dining room of around 41 square metres. The wood-burning stove is the heart of this space in winter—the kind of feature that makes you genuinely want to spend January here rather than dreading it. The fitted kitchen sits alongside, compact but practical at around 12 square metres, with a door that opens straight outside. Easy enough to imagine carrying a glass of wine out to the terrace on a warm September evening. What gives this house a real practical edge is the ground-floor bedroom suite. At roughly 28 square metres, with built-in wardrobes and its own shower room and WC, it offers single-level living without compromise. For a family where grandparents visit, or for owners who eventually want to be here full-time without worrying about stairs, that's a consideration worth taking ser ... click here to read more

This five-bedroom house for sale in Seine-Maritime sits in Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf, on a 3,012 m² enclosed plot, five minutes from the train station. It is described as a manor house, with 235 m² of living space, a south-facing terrace with a jacuzzi and a row of outbuildings that keep cars, bikes and tools out of the way. The condition is good, so the question here is less about renovation and more about how you want to use all that room. ### The House: A 25 m² Kitchen, Two Fireplaces and Five Bedrooms The ground floor starts with a wide entrance hall, with a large closet and a separate WC. It sounds like a small detail until a family comes in on a wet Normandy afternoon. The kitchen is the room most visitors will remember. It is fully fitted and equipped, and at about 25 m² it is big enough to cook and eat in at the same time. The utility room has a sink and a door straight onto the garden, which is handy for muddy boots and garden tools. There are two reception rooms, both generously proportioned. The living room has a fireplace insert, and the sitting room has its own fireplace. In a region with a mild but often damp oceanic climate, that gives you two ways to take the chill off an evening. Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a master suite with a dressing room. The house has five bedrooms in total. The data shows a single bathroom, so check on your visit whether that suits the way your household lives. ### Garden, Terrace and Outbuildings The plot covers 3,012 m². It is landscaped and fully enclosed, which matters if you have children or dogs, or simply like the idea of closing the gate and knowing the grounds are your own. The large south-facing terrace with a jacuzzi catches ... click here to read more

Early on a Tuesday morning in late September, the village of Soulignac is still quiet. Mist sits low across the Monbazillac vineyards just below the ridge line, and through the east-facing kitchen window, the light comes in long and golden. The coffee is on. The pool is still. And there's nowhere you need to be. That's the pace of life this six-bedroom house in the heart of Périgord offers. It's a substantial family property — roomy, grounded, and genuinely well kept — sitting on nearly 3,000 square metres of land in one of Southwest France's most sought-after pockets, minutes from Bergerac and the rolling appellations of Monbazillac wine country. The house was originally built in 1975 and extended in 1997, and it shows the kind of evolution that happens when a family actually lives in a place and adapts it thoughtfully. The bones are solid. The interior condition is excellent. At 133 square metres of listed living space, with a total footprint of 208 square metres, there's room here for extended family gatherings, long summers with friends rotating in and out, or a future chambres d'hôtes project — the six bedrooms make that last possibility genuinely viable without a major renovation effort. The 32-square-metre living room anchors the ground floor, centred on a fireplace insert that takes the edge off cool autumn evenings when you're not quite ready to leave after the August rush. The kitchen is fully fitted and independent — a proper working kitchen, not a galley squeezed into a corner — and there's a dedicated office, utility room, and laundry-boiler room that make this work as a real residence rather than just a holiday bolt-hole. Two shower rooms, two bathrooms, three WCs. An attic and a cellar. It's a house tha ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Issigeac. You push open the tall wooden shutters and the air hits you — warm, faintly earthy, carrying the smell of bread baking somewhere down the lane. The weekly market is already humming three minutes away in the medieval bastide, where local farmers spread out their walnuts, foie gras, and strawberries on trestle tables under stone arcades that have stood since the 13th century. This is your kitchen view. This is your Saturday. Set on the quiet edge of one of the Dordogne's most characterful bastide villages, this single-level house of 210 square metres sits on just over a hectare of private land — roughly 11,439 square metres of lawn, mature trees, and absolute silence. No neighbours visible. No road noise. Just you, a sun-warmed pool, and the rolling Périgord hills in every direction. The layout is genuinely clever. A 67-square-metre living room is the kind of space that earns its size — high enough to feel airy, wide enough to seat a crowd, and oriented to pull the garden right into the room through large glazed openings. It flows directly into a kitchen and dining area of 45 square metres, which is not a galley afterthought but a real room where you can cook a cassoulet and have four people around the island at the same time. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms — one full bathroom, one shower room — are arranged to give guests genuine privacy. There is also an independent studio on the property, which is the kind of bonus that makes all the difference: a teenager's retreat, a home office, or a self-contained space for the friends who always stay a week longer than planned. The 55-square-metre garage adjoins a barn, which sits at the edge of the plot near the village boundary. It is practica ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Nans-les-Pins starts with the smell of warm bread drifting from the boulangerie on Rue de la Mairie, the distant thwack of a golf shot from the fairway beyond the treeline, and a coffee on your own sun-soaked terrace while the Massif de la Sainte-Baume glows gold above the village. This is not a postcard. This is Tuesday. This is your ordinary life, if you own this three-bedroom house at Le Jardin du Golf. Set on a generous 859 m² plot within one of Provence's most quietly coveted residential estates, this detached two-storey home gives you 130 m² of well-maintained living space and a wraparound garden that earns its keep across every season. The lavender hums with bees in July. By October, the oaks are copper and the air has that dry, resinous edge that Provence does better than anywhere in Europe. You don't need to be here full-time to feel like you belong here — but you'll want to be. The layout is genuinely practical, which matters more than most listings admit. Downstairs, the main living area is broad and light-filled, with large doors that fold open onto the garden so the inside and outside stop feeling like separate decisions. The kitchen sits directly off the living room — no awkward corridor, no shouting through walls when dinner's almost ready. Critically for anyone hosting older relatives or guests who'd rather skip the stairs, there's a full bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. That's a flexibility that most houses this size don't offer, and it extends the usability of the property across generations. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share a landing bathroom and both get good morning light. One works naturally as the main bedroom, the other as a guest room or home office — the kind ... click here to read more

Stand on that south-facing terrace on a July morning — coffee in hand, the Périgord hills rolling out ahead of you in every direction, a light mist still clinging to the valley — and you'll understand immediately why people who move to Bergerac rarely leave. This four-bedroom Périgourdine stone house, sitting in an elevated hamlet just minutes from the town itself, gives you that view every single day. The house is the real thing. Thick limestone walls, original oak beams, terracotta floors that have absorbed two centuries of Dordogne summers. Not a pastiche of the style — the genuine article, with a 2016 extension that added modern volume without disturbing the bones of the building. At 213 square metres of living space, it never feels cramped, but it also never tips into the cold grandeur of a château. It's a home first, a showpiece second. Ground floor living centres around a generous open-plan kitchen and sitting room, which is exactly where you want life to happen when the evenings cool and dinner stretches past 10pm. The kitchen is large enough to actually cook in — not just stage photos in — and the terrace just beyond the glass doors makes the transition between inside and outside feel effortless. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms handle family or friends with ease. There's also a dedicated office, which matters increasingly for buyers who want to work remotely from somewhere with genuine soul. Upstairs, a large games room — currently configured as flexible space — could comfortably be converted into three additional bedrooms if you ever needed them. Outside, the 4,566 square metre plot gives you room to breathe. The terrace runs to 100 square metres facing due south, meaning it catches sun from mid-morning unti ... click here to read more

Sunday morning. You're standing on the covered terrace with a coffee, watching mist lift off the Corrèze hills, the silence broken only by birdsong and the distant toll of bells from the village church. The southeast-facing garden is already catching the early sun. This is not a fantasy—it's a Tuesday in July at Route de Bernoux, and it happens to be yours. Chauffour-sur-Vell sits in one of France's least-discovered corners, and that's exactly the point. The Corrèze département doesn't chase tourists. It doesn't need to. The rolling green hills, the walnut orchards, the limestone villages with their rust-red rooftops—this is the France that most people only read about in novels. And this four-bedroom detached house, set on just over 4,100 square metres of garden, drops you right into the middle of it. The house itself is solid. Double cavity walls, double glazing, an insulated roof—the bones are there, and the condition is genuinely good. You're not walking into a renovation project that quietly reveals a decade of surprises. At 161 square metres of living space spread across three levels, there's room to breathe, room to host, and room to carve out your own daily rhythms without bumping into anyone else. Walk in through the entrance hall and you land in the main living room, anchored by an open fireplace. Come November, when the Corrèze rains roll in and the chestnut trees strip bare, that fireplace isn't decorative—it's the reason everyone ends up on that sofa. The adjoining kitchen handles the everyday: meal prep, morning coffee, the chaos of a family breakfast. One bedroom and a bathroom sit on this floor too, which matters if you ever want to host guests or family members who'd rather avoid stairs. Upstairs, two ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Ouroux-sur-Saône has a particular quality to it. The wood-burning stove is already ticking with warmth, the smell of coffee drifts through a 48-square-meter living room that once watched over harvests two centuries ago, and through the French doors at the back of the house, the garden is doing that golden early-autumn thing that Burgundy does better than almost anywhere in France. This is not a renovation project. This is a farmhouse that has already been loved back to life — and now it's waiting for the next chapter. Built in the 1800s and sitting on a plot of over eight hectares, this four-bedroom property near the Saône-et-Loire heartland gives you something increasingly rare: genuine scale, genuine character, and genuine countryside — all within fifteen kilometers of Chalon-sur-Saône, where the Saturday market on the Place Saint-Vincent has been running for centuries and the restaurants along the Saône do things with Bresse chicken and local Époisses that will recalibrate your standards permanently. Step inside and the ground floor sets the tone immediately. The entrance hall opens into that vast living room with its wood-burning stove and direct garden access — the kind of room that earns its square footage on a wet November afternoon when you're opening a Givry rouge and watching the last light fall across the fields. The kitchen, famously converted from a bread oven, still has that deep-walled, slightly theatrical atmosphere that makes cooking feel like an event rather than a chore. There's a separate sitting room too, its French doors opening onto both the rear garden and the front terrace, so the morning sun follows you from one side to the other depending on the season. A 25-square-meter gro ... click here to read more

Stand on the kitchen terrace on a Tuesday morning and you can already smell the bread from the boulangerie two streets down in Cerdon. The hills of the Ain department roll away in front of you — forested ridges, limestone cliffs, the faint shimmer of the Rhône valley glinting somewhere between the trees. This isn't a postcard. It's Tuesday. This is just what it looks like from your terrace. Set in the hills above the small town of Cerdon in the Ain department of Rhône-Alpes, this seven-bedroom stone house sits on 2,408 square metres of land and spreads across 288 square metres of living space. At 359,000 euros, that works out to considerably less per square metre than comparable properties in the Dordogne or Provence — and the lifestyle on offer here is arguably richer. The Ain has a way of flying under the radar, which suits its residents just fine. The house itself is built in the sturdy local style — thick stone walls that keep rooms cool in July and hold heat through the sharp November nights. Step inside and the layout reveals a property that has been genuinely thought through for real life, not just for a sales brochure. The ground floor holds the main living quarters: a 26-square-metre sitting room, a generous dining room just over 20 square metres, a fitted kitchen with direct access to the terrace, a bedroom, a dressing room, and a shower room. The entrance hall alone runs to nearly 29 square metres, which sets the tone — this is not a house where you're squeezing past each other. Upstairs, six more bedrooms fan out across the landing, ranging from a cosy 10 square metres to a proper 19.5-square-metre room that could easily become a guest suite with its own character. There's a second shower room and a separa ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Cheilly-les-Maranges moves at its own pace. The kitchen window is open, coffee is on, and through the covered terrace door you can already smell the damp earth rising off the vines on the hillside not 200 meters away. This is Burgundy — not the postcard version, the real one — and this 1800s stone house sits right in the middle of it. Built when Napoleon III was still rearranging Europe, this four-bedroom home on a generous 1,508 square meter enclosed plot has grown into its age gracefully. The bones are solid, the proportions are generous, and the condition throughout is genuinely good — no gutting required, no years of project-managing contractors from abroad. You arrive, you unpack, and you start living. That's rarer than it sounds at this price point in the Côte de Beaune. The ground floor opens into a 30-square-meter living room with the kind of ceiling height that makes you instinctively exhale. The equipped kitchen — 10.6 square meters, compact but well-organized — connects directly to the covered terrace. That terrace is going to become your default dining room from April through October. Lunch under the overhang when it rains, dinner outside when the evenings stretch golden and warm. The 15-square-meter office sits off the main hall, making this a genuinely workable remote working base, not just a holiday fantasy. Fast rural internet has come a long way in Saône-et-Loire. Upstairs, the four bedrooms range from 13 to 18 square meters — real rooms, not glorified cupboards. One comes with its own en-suite shower room. The additional full bathroom and two separate WCs mean four adults sharing the house can actually manage mornings without negotiation. The garage and outbuildings out back give yo ... click here to read more

Step out of the front door on a Tuesday morning and within twenty minutes you're wandering through Bergerac's old quarter, coffee in hand, past honey-stone façades and half-timbered houses that line the Place du Docteur Cayla. Then you drive back through rolling woodland, turn down a lane into a hamlet of old stone properties, and the world goes completely quiet. That contrast — town life and deep countryside, thirty seconds apart — is what makes this 16th-century farmhouse one of the more unusual finds in the Dordogne right now. The property sits on 29 acres of private woodland. Not a garden. Woodland. You're not buying a patch of grass with some trees at the edge — you're buying the trees themselves, a proper sweep of Périgord forest that wraps around the house on all sides and gives the kind of silence most people have to drive four hours to find. The hamlet it belongs to is made entirely of stone — no modern infill, no holiday parc next door — and the farmhouse reads as the centrepiece of it: renovated carefully, retaining the character of the original 16th-century construction while being entirely liveable today. Inside, 217 square metres unfolds across three reception rooms, each anchored by either an open fireplace or a wood-burning stove. In November, when the Dordogne mist sits low over the valley and the forest outside turns amber and rust, those fireplaces earn their place. The ground floor has a separate kitchen — properly separate, not open-plan — and a full bedroom suite with its own bathroom, which works brilliantly if you have elderly guests or want to avoid stairs entirely. Upstairs, two large bedrooms and a study spread across the upper floor, served by two shower rooms. It's a layout that suits famil ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace on a July evening and you'll understand immediately why the French have always built their finest houses on hills. The Aude valley spreads out below in bands of gold and green — sunflower fields giving way to vineyards, then the jagged silhouette of the Pyrenees catching the last of the light. A glass of Blanquette de Limoux in hand, the bubbles still sharp and cold, the smell of lavender drifting up from the garden. This is not a fantasy sequence from a travel magazine. This is Tuesday. This four-bedroom villa sits at one of the highest residential addresses above Limoux, in France's Languedoc-Roussillon region, and the position alone justifies serious attention. But the house itself earns that attention right back. Three levels of generous, well-proportioned living space — around 186 square metres in total — have been laid out with real intelligence. The heart of the home is a single open-plan space that runs to over 60 square metres, pulling together the sitting room, dining area and kitchen into one fluid room without sacrificing any sense of definition between them. Large glazed doors open directly onto the views. On a clear morning, with coffee on the go and those panoramas unfolding through the glass, it's hard to think of a better argument for a second home in France. A bedroom and bathroom sit on the same main level, which matters more than it sounds — it means the house works for guests who don't want to navigate stairs, or for those weeks when you simply want everything within reach. The first floor adds further bedrooms and a second bathroom, giving the layout real flexibility for families or groups. Below, the lower ground floor is the kind of practical bonus that experienced property ... click here to read more

Sunday mornings here start with the smell of coffee drifting through stone walls that have been standing since the 1700s. The kitchen window frames a view of rolling southwest French countryside—no rooftops, no roads, just the slow green hills of Lot-et-Garonne doing what they've done for centuries. By the time you've wandered outside with your cup, the light is already doing something extraordinary to the old barn wall beside the pool. This is Engayrac. Most people have never heard of it, and the people who live here like it that way. The farmhouse itself is one of those rare places where a serious restoration has been done without scrubbing out the soul. Exposed stone walls, original beamed ceilings, travertine floors, an old staircase that creaks just enough to remind you it's real—it's all still there. So is the stone fireplace, the wainscoting, the sense that this house has stories going back well before anyone alive today. But the plumbing works. The heating works. The energy performance rating sits at C, which for an 18th-century stone structure in rural France is not something you get without real investment. A new heat pump heating system and a recently installed septic tank mean the infrastructure is sorted—genuinely sorted, not "we'll deal with it next summer" sorted. Four bedrooms spread across three floors give the house a natural rhythm. Ground floor for cooking, eating, living. First floor for quieter things—a spacious sitting room, an office that actually earns the name, two bathrooms with clean contemporary finishes that don't clash with the old bones of the place. Then the top floor, which is the kind of surprise that makes you stop mid-sentence when you first see it: a cargo-net lounge strung beneat ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Boussan, the Pyrenees appear close enough to touch. You open the tall French doors off the living room, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are a wood pigeon somewhere in the oak forest and the faint clang of a cowbell drifting up from the pasture below. Two other houses exist in this hamlet. That's it. The quiet here isn't the absence of something — it's the thing itself, full and rare. This 1850 manor house sits on 17 hectares of mixed woodland and open pasture in the rolling Haute-Garonne countryside, about five kilometres from the medieval hilltop village of Aurignac. The property includes a separate one-bedroom gîte, two stone barns, and a 10x5m swimming pool. At 271 square metres of living space across the main house alone, this is the kind of place that stops feeling like a property and starts feeling like a small world of its own. The manor was built with the proportions that 19th-century landowners understood intuitively — high ceilings, thick stone walls, rooms that breathe. Inside, marble fireplaces anchor the principal reception rooms, ornate plasterwork frames the ceilings, and exposed timber beams run the length of the upper floors. These aren't cosmetic details slapped on for effect; they're structural to the character of the house. The restoration has been handled with genuine care — a new roof, a fully renovated kitchen, a fresh pool lining — significant investment that means the next owner walks into something that works, not something that needs saving. The kitchen is the gravitational centre of the house. Fully equipped, country in scale, and open in spirit, it connects naturally to the main living and dining room. That room has French doors on the garden side and a wood-burni ... click here to read more

On a still summer evening in Lot-et-Garonne, the swallows dip low over a glassy 10x5m swimming pool, the scent of warm stone rises from the courtyard, and somewhere beyond the vine-draped pergola, the rolling hills of Aquitaine dissolve into a haze of gold. This is what you came to France for. Not a postcard version of it — the real thing. This 4-bedroom, 196 sqm stone barn conversion sits about three kilometers outside Tournon-d'Agenais, one of the most characterful bastide towns in the Lot-et-Garonne. The original structure dates to the 18th century, but it was reimagined two decades ago by its architect-owner with the kind of precision that most renovation projects only dream of achieving. The result is a home that honors its agricultural past while functioning brilliantly as a modern residence — and it shows in every detail. You arrive through a gated entrance that opens onto an ornamental pond and a courtyard that already tells you something about how this place was put together. It's composed. Considered. The gardens are established and deeply planted, not the kind of thing you throw together in a season, and the views across the surrounding countryside are the sort that make you stop mid-sentence. Step inside and the scale of the main living space takes a moment to absorb. Full-height beamed ceilings — properly high, the way only old barns can deliver — span the open-plan ground floor where the fitted kitchen, living, and dining areas flow together. The kitchen itself uses the original animal feeders as a clever spatial divider, a small architectural flourish that's both functional and quietly witty. Tiled floors underfoot, underfloor heating for the cooler months, a stone fireplace for the evenings when the te ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in July, you open the ancient shutters of your top-floor bedroom and the Tarn-et-Garonne countryside rolls out in every direction — sunflower fields, oak-lined lanes, and a sky so wide and blue it takes a moment to convince yourself it's real. The church bells from the village drift up the hill. You don't need to be anywhere until lunch. That's the whole point. This 17th-century stone presbytery in the quiet hamlet of Roquecor is one of those properties that stops you mid-scroll. And rightly so. Built with the authority and permanence that the Catholic Church demanded of its residences in this part of France, it has aged into something extraordinary — all vaulted ceilings, original stone sinks, wide-plank floorboards, and a fireplace so substantial it practically has its own postcode. The priests who once lived here would barely recognise the interiors now: the present owners have brought the kind of quiet, confident taste that lets the architecture do the talking, with muted colours, carefully chosen furniture, and not a single unnecessary gesture. You enter up a grand exterior stone staircase — the kind of entrance that makes guests stop and reach for their phones before they've even crossed the threshold. Inside, the layout unfolds across three floors. The ground level delivers a sitting room anchored by a monumental stone fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove (the winters here are mild, but November evenings around that fire are something else), a snug that earns its name, and a country kitchen with original tiled floors, a fitted range, and a stone sink so characterful it would be the centrepiece of a lesser house. Below the kitchen, a vaulted stone cellar doubles as a wine store an ... 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 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 2-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits in the Le Chat holiday village near Écuras, with pool, tennis and mini-golf on the doorstep. It is a single-storey home of 54 m² on a 649 m² plot, priced at €98,100. That is a modest figure for a house with its own outdoor space in France. The village is open all year, so the place doesn't shut down in October. You can use it for a long summer, a few winter weekends, or as a base to live in. ### The House: Single-Storey Living on 54 m² Everything is on one level, which makes day-to-day life easy. It also makes the house simple to lock up and leave between visits. The living room is bright and opens onto a fitted kitchen, so you can cook and still talk to whoever is on the sofa. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an unusual ratio for a house this size. Two couples or a family with a child can each have their own space. The condition is listed as good. There is no big renovation to price in before you can use it, though a viewing is the time to check the details that matter to you, such as heating, insulation and furnishings. ### Terraces, Garden and the 649 m² Plot Outdoor space is where this house earns its price. One terrace is reached from the living room and the other from the kitchen. Breakfast can go on one and an evening drink on the other, depending on where the sun is. The listing also records a balcony. The plot of 649 m² leaves room for a table, a barbecue and some planting, without a garden that eats your weekends. That matters if you plan to run this as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home in Charente. ### Life in the Holiday Village near Écuras The house is inside the Le Chat holiday village, a green, leisure-oriented setting.

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
