Country house with pool

Charming 18th-Century Stone Country House with Pool in Peaceful South-West France

Nestled within a sleepy hamlet just five minutes from the village of Bourg-de-Visa, this charming 18th-century stone former presbytery offers an idyllic rural retreat in the rolling valleys of south-west France.

Set behind a gated stone wall, the property is accessed through a charming courtyard and comprises a beautifully maintained two-bedroom home surrounded by mature gardens. A large hedged and lawned garden features a generous 12m x 6m swimming pool, covered terrace, and multiple outdoor seating areas, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining.

The tastefully presented interior successfully blends period character with modern comforts. The welcoming sitting room features exposed stone walls, a beamed ceiling, a fireplace with wood-burning stove, and air conditioning, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the year. The fitted kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, while a versatile additional room is currently utilised as a study, gym, and utility area.

Both bedrooms are full of charm and character, featuring original stone fireplaces and attractive period details. Double glazing and gas-fired central heating provide comfort and efficiency, making the property equally suited as a permanent residence, holiday home, or lock-up-and-leave retreat. The practical single-level accommodation is both comfortable and easy to maintain.

Outside, a spacious wrap-around terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and evening apéritifs while overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. The established grounds are beautifully maintained, offering privacy, colour, and year-round interest. Additional features include off-road parking, a single garage, and a delightful stone barn, ideal as a workshop, storage space, artist’s studio, or home office, subject to any necessary permissions.

Enjoying a wonderfully peaceful setting while remaining close to local amenities, the property is just 30 minutes from Agen and its high-speed TGV connections to Paris, while Toulouse-Blagnac Airport can be reached in a little over an hour.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and beautifully presented country home, combining historic charm, modern comfort, and the relaxed lifestyle for which south-west France is so renowned.
