1 property with Gîte for sale in Saint-Maurice-des-Lions — Under €350,000

The Charente attracts UK buyers. Characterised by pale golden limestone architecture, warm Atlantic climate and deep rural culture, it offers authentic stone properties — farmhouses, village houses, manoirs — at prices that remain below comparable UK property. A gîte — a self-contained holiday letting cottage — can turn a property purchase into a genuinely income-generating investment. The French rural market benefits from strong rental demand, particularly from UK and Northern European visitors. A well-presented gîte in an attractive rural setting can achieve 20–28 weeks of rental per year, with peak summer weeks generating meaningful contribution to ownership costs. At up to €350,000, the French property market opens access to larger properties. Stone farmhouses in prime Dordogne and Charente villages, multi-unit gîte complexes with pools, and properties with development potential all become realistic targets at this price level. The choice and quality of available stock increases significantly at this threshold.
