Aquitaine, Lot-et-Garonne, Beauville, France

A charming village house with truly exceptional views.
Nestled in a quiet alley in the highly sought-after bastide village of Beauville, this beautiful old stone house achieves the rather enviable feat of being at the very heart of village life while being wonderfully peaceful.
Beauville has everything you could wish for within easy reach—lively night markets, a friendly café-bar, a restaurant, a shop, a bakery, and a thriving international community—while its unique setting feels pleasantly removed from the hustle and bustle. In other words, you can go for a coffee, dinner, or enjoy a night market and be back home in your garden within minutes.
The surrounding countryside is simply magnificent: rolling valleys and vast skies in a landscape often described as the Tuscany of France. The lively little town of Montaigu-de-Quercy is just ten minutes away, with its swimming lake, supermarket, and excellent range of everyday amenities. Agen and its fast TGV connection to Paris are about 30 minutes away, while Toulouse Airport is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away.
The house itself combines traditional charm with a superbly designed piece of modern architecture. The original two-bedroom stone property was complemented in 2005 by an architect-designed extension at the rear, where a dramatic glass wall makes the most of the extraordinary views—and they truly are spectacular.
Inside, there are two comfortable bedrooms, a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove, and a modern and remarkably stylish extension comprising a sleek contemporary kitchen and a generous living area. Partial double glazing and partial electric underfloor heating add modern comfort without compromising the character of the original house.
The property is presented in excellent condition and, outside, there is a lovely lawned garden, with what might well be the best views in the village.
And perhaps the best thing about all this is that you are only a two-minute walk from the village bustle, and yet, once you are back home, you could be forgiven for thinking that you are miles away from everything.
A characterful French village house with a contemporary touch, spectacular views and village life on your doorstep — charming, elegant and delightfully unpretentious.
