1.5 hectares of glorious landscaped gardens with pool, ideally located near all amenities in Parranquet.
Approached along a quiet country lane, this charming stone 'corps de ferme' immediately conveys a sense of authenticity and refinement. Traditional materials have been used throughout, yet the overall effect is one of understated contemporary elegance. Entry is via a generous covered terrace - an inviting threshold that sets the tone for relaxed outdoor living.
Stepping inside, you arrive in the impressive double-height salon
(8.3m x 5m); a grand yet welcoming space. The chic colour palette and lime/hemp plaster finishes create warmth and texture, while the scale of the room gives a wonderful sense of volume and light. It is a space designed as much for intimate winter evenings as for larger gatherings.
To the left, the dining room (4.6m x 3.9m) benefits from windows to two aspects, drawing in natural light and framing garden views. Beyond, the open kitchen (4.7m x 3.9m) enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. From here, doors open directly onto a substantial decked terrace - perfectly positioned for evening aperitifs as the sun sets across the landscape.
Beyond the main living room lies a more intimate sitting room
(4.7m x 3.9m), ideal as a snug, library or television room, with a conveniently placed ground-floor WC alongside.
A beautiful wooden staircase rises to a galleried landing overlooking the principal living space, enhancing the sense of architectural cohesion.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms (3.5m x 3.4m; 3.8m x 2.7m; 3.5m x 2.8m), each with its own en-suite bathroom with tadelakt plaster, offering privacy and comfort for family and guests alike.
From the ground floor, a staircase leads down to the first independent guest apartment. This well-conceived space offers two bedrooms
(5.6m x 3.0m and 3.5m x 2.7m), a salle d'eau and a separate bathroom, a comfortable salon (5.2m x 2.8m) with direct level access to the pool terrace, and its own kitchen (3.5m x 3.0m). The layout allows complete autonomy while remaining seamlessly connected to the main residence.
The second gite, accessed from a large covered terrace, occupies a beautifully restored former porcherie. Here, a large open-plan living space with kitchen (6.5m x 5.0m) combines rustic character with modern comfort. A spacious bedroom (4.6m x 4.3m), bathroom (2.8m x 2.6m) and separate laundry (2.9m x 1.7m) complete this charming and highly functional ground floor dwelling.
A substantial barn and garage complete the ensemble, offering extensive storage, workshop space or further development potential.
The grounds are as thoughtfully composed as the house itself. Close to the buildings, carefully nurtured planting provides structure, texture and colour throughout the seasons. Beyond lie lawns, meadows and mature trees leading to a tranquil pond, while the pool terrace offers sweeping views over open countryside - a private and peaceful setting in which to enjoy the very best of south-west France.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
