About the Property

A beautifully renovated period country house in the heart of Southwest France
Some houses take shape simply through love. This is the case with this one — for thirty years, in fact, by owners whose attention to detail borders on heroism, and who are now passing the torch with regret (theirs, not ours).

A beautifully renovated period country house in the heart of Southwest France
Some houses take shape simply through love. This is the case with this one — for thirty years, in fact, by owners whose attention to detail borders on heroism, and who are now passing the torch with regret (theirs, not ours).
Nestled in one of the most beautiful corners of Southwest France, in a hamlet so peaceful it’s almost asleep, this beautiful stone house dates back to the 17th century or earlier—though you’d never guess it, so effortlessly is its current lifestyle. The renovation was carried out with sensitivity, elegance, and meticulous attention to detail, finding that rare balance between respecting the past and fully enjoying the present. Exposed beams, terracotta floors, and a truly monumental stone fireplace blend harmoniously with a kitchen and interiors that exude a refined, rather than artificial, aesthetic.
The House
Three bedrooms and three additional storage rooms — all secluded and quietly awaiting a second role as extra living space, should you wish. A ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom opens onto terracotta tiles and beamed ceilings, while a second ground-floor bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and a charming vaulted study — perfect for those who like to work in a place that doesn’t feel like work.
Upstairs, the main living area unfolds with plenty of character: a country-style kitchen boasting beautiful original floors and a wood-burning stove set into the spectacular stone fireplace, French doors leading to a raised terrace perfect for morning coffee and peaceful mornings in general. There’s also a spacious laundry room with its original bread oven (because why not?), another guest bedroom, a light-filled living room with its own wood-burning stove, and a second, more intimate living room or office for those times when the first one feels too busy.
Outside
The gardens are a delight for any gardener: boxwood hedges, cypress trees, mature plantings and a source of clean water, all lovingly cared for rather than simply kept clean.
And then there are the outbuildings, because this is indeed a property with great potential for expansion:

A period stone cottage with a new roof, brimming with original character (including a splendid fireplace and a magnificent vaulted stone wine cellar) and ready for someone to finish what the roofers started.
A second stone outbuilding, with a new roof and floor, currently used as a workshop, but which has obvious potential.
A large stone barn including a garage and additional space converted into a workshop.

The views unfold in all directions, the setting is perfectly intimate, and yet you are only steps away from shops, restaurants and everyday life — the best of both worlds, as the saying goes (but which, for once, is true).
A rare opportunity to acquire a home that has clearly been cherished — and to write your name into its very long history.
