82110 lauzerte, France

A slice of rustic heaven - just a baguette's throw from the bakery
Tucked away down a quiet lane in a picture-perfect French village, this charming 18th-century stone house is the kind of property that makes you wonder why you didn't move to France years ago. With the local boulangerie just a stone's throw away (yes, warm croissants really can be your morning reality), it's country living with a distinctly chic edge.
Every beam and terracotta tile gives the house a unique character. Step into a generous open-plan living space with exposed stone walls, a welcoming wood-burning stove, and a rustic yet elegant kitchen with a stone sink and just the right amount of shabby chic to impress your visiting friends. There's also a handy study area, a storeroom for your wine (or bikes, if you like), and French doors that open onto a beautiful enclosed garden, ideal for al fresco dining or simply sipping something fresh and local under the stars.
Ascending the original staircase, which is naturally creaky and charming, you'll find a cozy living room, two comfortable bedrooms (one with a Juliet balcony for the romantic in you), and a surprisingly spacious and elegant bathroom where you might enjoy brushing your teeth.
Outside, the private courtyard is lined with travertine and features a covered terrace, perfect for long, lazy lunches or early morning coffees. Partial double glazing and central heating are also featured, for those rare moments when you're not basking in the sun.
All this within a five-minute drive of the bustling market town of Montaigu de Quercy, and fifteen minutes from the beautiful historic town of Lauzerte.
Charming. Characterful. Close to a croissant. What more could you ask for?
