Charming 17th-century stone farmhouse in a peaceful location in the Charente Limousine region

Built to last another 400 years…

“Under the Charente sky, it stretches out and rests, a reflection of a bygone era when people paused. Stone is its setting, wood its song, and the garden whispers the name of its season.”

There are houses that are built, and others that seem to have grown there, as inevitable as a centuries-old oak. This property belongs to the latter category.

Nestled in a hamlet of Massignac, where the bustle of the modern world is but a distant murmur, it has watched time pass since its birth with sovereign indifference.

Here, we speak of raw authenticity. Push open the door and… breathe. The scent of waxed wood and fresh stone welcomes you.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a fully equipped and furnished separate kitchen, a living room with a French-style ceiling showcasing its massive beams, a first bedroom with a pastoral feel, as well as a bathroom and a separate toilet.

Upstairs is a second bedroom with a four-poster bed that has likely seen musketeers, while an office and a potential additional bedroom complete the ground floor.

Not just for show, the numerous details support the history.

From the copper taps that seem designed for pouring mead to the sculpted coats of arms above the imposing fireplace, this house has its moments of whimsy.

Special mention goes to the stained-glass windows, which transform a simple ray of sunshine into a private rainbow on your carpets, playfully scattering confetti of blue, red, and gold light across the terracotta tiles polished by centuries.

Outside, Impressionism and hide-and-seek take center stage!

The real secret lies in the garden. It’s a place that seems to have been painted before it was planted. The spectacle is daily, silent, and poetic.

A small arched bridge spans the calm water, yearning for someone to come and sigh romantically upon it.

It’s the perfect spot to meditate, write a sonnet, or simply watch the frogs debate the weather.

The neighbors? Cows (very discreet) and a few neighbors who know that silence is golden, the only permitted sounds being birdsong and the wind rustling through the leaves.

In this home, urgency has no hold. Mornings taste like steaming coffee sipped between the ears of walls that have heard the kings of France.

If you are ready to become the humble guardian of these stubborn stones, to listen to the chattering creaks of a three-hundred-year-old timber frame, and to explain, as naturally as can be, to your guests why you house a mossy statue in the ivy…

Then your kingdom awaits!

Come with your suitcases; they provide the soul.
