2 country house with No Neighbours for sale in Charente — Under €500,000

Stone country houses in the Charente — farmhouses, longères and rural character homes — define the south-west France property dream. Built from the pale golden limestone of the Charentais plains and river valleys, they combine architectural authenticity with generous room sizes and, typically, substantial outbuildings and land. The northern Charente Limousine (around Confolens and Ruffec) offers some of the most competitive farmhouse prices in the department; the southern areas around Cognac and Barbezieux command a modest premium. Entry-level renovation farmhouses are available from €80,000; turn-key properties with pool from €200,000.
