Country house with pool

A Little Slice of French Heaven — With a Splash of Saltwater Luxury

Tucked away in a sleepy hamlet just five minutes from the postcard-perfect medieval town of Monflanquin, this utterly charming early 19th-century stone house is the epitome of rustic elegance — with just the right amount of je ne sais quoi.

Lovingly restored and fabulously decorated, the property offers two generous bedrooms, and a third possible on the mezzaninetwo chic bathrooms, and an ambiance that whispers “style” while still letting you nap guilt-free on a Sunday afternoon.

Step inside to find a modern fitted kitchen that blends seamlessly with original terracotta floor tiles (because character never goes out of fashion). The double-height sitting room features exposed beams, a wood-burning stove, and that elusive wow-factor estate agents are always on about. A spiral staircase leads to a cosy mezzanine – perfect for curling up with a book or pretending to write one.

There’s also a separate dining room, large utility area, and a garage with off-road parking – ideal for stashing everything from wine to wellies. With double glazing pompe à chaleur heating/air con and electric heating, you’ll be snug in winter and smug all year round.

And now, the pièce de résistance: a stunning, completely private courtyard garden tucked behind gated stone walls. With a travertine terrace, lush established planting, and a 2m x 5m saltwater plunge pool, this is outdoor living at its French finest – perfect for aperitifs, pétanque, or simply pretending you’ve written that novel after all.

In immaculate condition and ready to enjoy immediately, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of idyllic southwest France — with just enough flair to make your friends jealous.
