Village house withe garden and view

A Rare Gem in the Heart of Monflanquin

Tucked discreetly along a sleepy side lane in the very heart of Monflanquin — one of France’s most beautiful and best-preserved bastide towns — this fabulous ancient stone house combines history, style, and just the right touch of grandeur.

Renovated at considerable (and we do mean considerable) expense by its current owner, this substantial property offers flexibility in abundance. Currently arranged as a spacious 4/5-bedroom home, it could easily be divided into two self-contained dwellings — perfect for visiting friends, extended family, or that long-dreamed-of gîte business with a view.

Speaking of views, few properties in Monflanquin can compete: from the covered terrace and the established garden, the panorama sweeps effortlessly across the valley — ideal for morning coffee, sundowners, or simply basking in your own good taste.

Inside, you’ll find all the character you’d expect from a house of this stature — and then some. Think original staircase, wood panelling, exposed beams, marble fireplaces, and elegant stonework, all paired beautifully with stylish modern bathrooms and a sleek, contemporary fitted kitchen with integral appliances.

There’s also a summer kitchen, wine cave (naturally), garage, and a gated entrance with ample off-road parking — a rarity in the village. The large garden even boasts its own water source. Heating is by efficient pompe à chaleur, so comfort is assured whatever the season.

Step outside and you’re mere moments from Monflanquin’s restaurants, cafés, and weekly market, not to mention the famous medieval fair that turns the town into a scene straight from a history book each summer. Bergerac airport is under 45 minutes away — though, once you’re here, you may never wish to leave.

In short: an exquisite, move-in-ready home full of charm, character, and comfort — perfect for lovers of French heritage with a modern twist (and a good glass of local wine).
