5 Bed House for sale
Florimont-Gaumier, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France
Full Description
Quietly positioned in a small hamlet, this beautifully restored stone house sits at the heart of over 10 hectares of private countryside.
The main house is arranged across a single level, with four well designed bedrooms, two modern shower rooms, and an open-plan kitchen-dining area that flows into a second sitting/dining space. A separate utility room keeps laundry and storage out of sight.
The renovation has been carried out with care and a clear eye for quality: solid wood internal doors, tiled floors throughout, and a stylish, fully equipped kitchen that has been cleverly fitted into a traditional stone fireplace. While the house retains all the character of the original building, it performs to modern standards, with high-spec insulation, double glazing, and an air-source heat pump. The resulting AA energy rating is unusual for this style of property and a real advantage for year-round living.
All rooms look out onto the surrounding land—open fields and woodland—so there’s a constant connection with the landscape, and a genuine sense of calm. The front garden, too, is thoughtfully planted: wisteria climbs along the gates, neatly clipped box hedges frame gravel paths, and blue shutters complete the picture.
A few steps down from the terrace is a 7 x 4.5m pool with wooden decking, offering a private space to cool off or unwind.
On the lower level of the house, with a separate entrance and private terrace, is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment. It has a large living area with a wood burning stove, a sleek kitchen with marble worktops, a hidden office nook, and a double bedroom with shower room and separate WC. Storage is discreet but generous, and the apartment could comfortably sleep four. It’s well suited to year-round holiday lets or visiting family.
The property includes several outbuildings:
A very large triple-height barn offers endless potential – from classic car storage to a hobby space or small business (subject to permissions).
Stables, attached to the barn, currently home to donkeys.
A second stone barn, open-fronted, currently used for parking and equipment.
A former stone cottage with renovation potential.
Despite the peaceful setting, the location is practical. A popular local restaurant and bar with live music is an easy 15-minute walk away. The nearest town, with weekly market, bakery, and supermarket, is just 6km, and the larger town of Gourdon—with its multitude of shops and services—is a 20-minute drive away.
In summary, this property offers traditional character AND modern efficiency, with spacious accommodation, high-quality finishes, and extensive land. The independent apartment, outbuildings, and energy upgrades add real practical value, while the setting provides privacy without isolation. The property has multiple possible uses, from family living to holiday rental or small-scale projects.
