Aquitaine, Lot-et-Garonne, Blaymont, France

Location, location, location have rarely been more aptly described.
Nestled in a peaceful hilltop hamlet, this charming 19th-century stone country house boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the magnificent bastide village of Beauville. And to be honest, the view alone is hard to beat.
But let's get back home...
All on one level, full of charm and superbly presented throughout, the property offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a magnificent covered terrace which is ideal for long lunches, evening drinks and morning coffee accompanied by a completely superfluous contemplation of the view.
Located in the heart of 2,292 m² of beautifully landscaped and maintained gardens, the outdoor space is just as exceptional as the house. It features a fabulous 8 x 4 m swimming pool, a splendid ornamental pond, mature plantings and an assortment of outbuildings as useful as they are charming, including a greenhouse, a pottery workshop, a garage, a carport and a cellar.
Inside, the atmosphere is just as appealing, combining abundant traditional charm with the comforts of modern living. The fully equipped kitchen features a range cooker and a wood-burning stove—because however idyllic life in the French countryside may be, there's always something wonderfully comforting about a real stove.
The entire property is in immaculate condition, retaining an abundance of original character and that elusive feeling of a home that has been loved rather than merely decorated.
And then there's the location...
Beauville, with its excellent shops, restaurants, and lively night markets, is just five minutes away. Agen is about a 30-minute drive, offering a fast TGV connection to Paris, making the journey from rural idyll to the capital surprisingly easy.
A beautiful stone house, exceptional views, wonderful gardens, a swimming pool, charming outbuildings and one of the most splendid settings imaginable.
If this isn't the French dream, we really don't know what is.
