Maison à vendre, 2m², Beauville

Description

The French dream? It might just be this. The quintessential 19th-century stone farmhouse, tucked away in glorious countryside yet just minutes from the lively bastide village of Beauville, where you’ll find excellent local amenities, renowned summer night markets and a much-loved annual antiques fair. Lovingly owned by the same family for the past 35 years, this much-cherished home is offered for sale for the very first time—a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a truly special place. Set in beautifully established gardens with woodland, far-reaching countryside views and the romantic ruins of an old stone barn (perfect for inspiring grand plans or simply admiring with a glass of wine), this is rural France at its most enchanting. The house itself is brimming with authentic character. Ancient wooden floors, exposed beams and a welcoming log-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the handcrafted cherry wood kitchen forms the heart of the open-plan living space. Thankfully, the charm comes with modern comforts too, including double glazing and an efficient pompe à chaleur providing both heating and cooling. There are two comfortable bedrooms and a practical shower room, while the generous basement offers exciting potential as a home office, studio or even a third bedroom. An integral garage and workshop provide plenty of useful storage and workspace. Outside, life naturally revolves around the terraces. A spacious covered terrace is made for long, lazy lunches and al fresco dinners, while the separate decked terrace is the perfect spot to greet the morning with coffee and uninterrupted views across the rolling countryside. It’s the sort of property that makes people casually mention they’ve “always fancied a place in France.” This one simply saves them the trouble of imagining it. Despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, the property is only around 25 minutes from Agen, with its fast TGV connections to Paris, making weekends away—or weekends here—remarkably easy. A timeless country home in one of Lot-et-Garonne’s most picturesque corners, offering authenticity, tranquillity and the kind of setting that never goes out of style.
