Village house with garden and parking

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning the best house in the village (without having to lift so much as a paintbrush), this might just be it.

Right in the heart of a lively and much-loved village — and crucially within walking distance of the bakery (priorities, naturally) — this exquisite 19th-century stone house, formerly the village auberge, has been restored from top to toe to an exceptional standard. The result? Period soul meets magazine-worthy interiors, with absolutely nothing left to do but unpack and decide where to place the coffee machine.

Offering five generous bedrooms and three stylish bathrooms, the property has been cleverly designed so it can easily function as one impressive family home or be divided into two separate houses, each with its own kitchen and beautifully appointed living spaces — ideal for guests, extended family or income potential.

Modern comforts are firmly in place: pompe à chaleur heating with hot and cold air, mains drainage, double glazing, and impeccable insulation throughout. A gravel driveway leads to a double garage, secured by electric gates — because even village life can be glamorous.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is just as compelling. A charming courtyard garden features olive trees, a travertine terrace, and raised flower beds, all presented in immaculate condition. There’s a covered ground-floor terrace perfect for long, lazy apéros, and a sauna for when relaxation needs to be taken seriously. Above, a large roof terrace with a covered beamed structure enjoys delightful views over the village rooftops — sunset drinks practically mandatory.

Across the road, additional land with a stream adds a touch of countryside romance and a little extra breathing space.

Impeccably presented, effortlessly stylish and wonderfully versatile, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey village home with character, comfort and income potential — equally suited as a substantial family residence or a luxurious lock-up-and-leave.

In short: they don’t come along like this very often.
