ID 2399 · Stone farmhouse with beams & 3,108 m² near Ajat, Périgord Noir

About this house

Leggett Immobilier offers this detached stone farmhouse on the edge of a hillside hamlet near Ajat, in the Périgord Noir part of the Dordogne (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), as an exclusive listing at €149,999 (ref. A15858). The house has about 150 m² of living space on a plot of about 3,108 m², with views over the forest and access from a quiet country lane.

The agent describes the house as simply but comfortably restored, with authentic stone features and original beams throughout. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen and dining room of about 41 m², partly open to the roof beams, and a sitting room of about 31 m² with a large carved stone fireplace, both with doors to the outside on two sides, plus a shower room. Upstairs, reached by two staircases, are a mezzanine landing with dormer windows, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outside there is a southwest-facing paved courtyard with a stone barbecue, a lawned garden, a parking area, a separate plot with fruit trees and three stone barns, which the agent says are in a bad state of repair. The property has private drainage. Its energy rating is listed as high consumption, with estimated annual energy costs of €4,480–6,090, so insulation and heating improvements are worth budgeting for.

Buying in France: allow for notary fees and taxes on top of the price (commonly around 7–8% for older homes), a cooling-off period after the preliminary contract, and early talks with banks or brokers if you need financing as a foreign buyer. Thenon, with shops and a train station, is about 6 minutes away by car according to the agent, and Brive airport about 45 minutes. Coordinates are approximate (village centre).
