47330 castillonnes, France

The dream farm in southwest France
Nestled at the end of its own private drive, with not a single neighbor in sight , this charming stone farmhouse dating back to 1830 embodies everything you imagine the French dream to be, and then some. Set on just under an acre of rolling countryside in the Lot-et-Garonne, with stunning views, well-established gardens, and stables, it lies in one of the most idyllic pockets of rural France, close to wonderfully lively villages and vineyards, all just 30 minutes from Bergerac airport.
The house itself is picture-perfect: classic stone facades on the outside, elegant contemporary interiors inside, while retaining an abundance of original features. The spacious living room boasts beamed ceilings, exposed stonework, tiled floors, and a wood-burning stove with a heat pump system that warms the rest of the house it's very clever and very comfortable.
There are two comfortable bedrooms and a charming mezzanine accessed via a modern and elegant staircase leading to the study. The beautiful country kitchen manages to be both rustic and refined, with its original bread oven, gas cooker, Belfast sink, and oak worktops. A modern and stylish bathroom completes the main living areas.
Outside, a wisteria-covered terrace invites leisurely evenings; there's a vegetable garden for gardening enthusiasts; and an outbuilding with a kitchen, workshop, and storage. Recent improvements include double glazing and a fully compliant septic tank. The entrance gate provides the finishing touch.
If this isn't the French dream... well, frankly, we don't know what is.
