Move-in Ready Stone Hamlet House – Near the Dordogne River, Near Airport & Train Station, Low Maintenance Costs, Fiber Internet, Rental Potential

Summary
Completely move-in ready, this traditional stone house requires no renovation and is ideal as a peaceful retreat, a low-maintenance permanent or secondary residence, or a seasonal rental (gîte). Located near the Dordogne River, it’s perfect for enjoying nature while benefiting from modern comforts, including high-speed fiber Internet for remote work.

Beautifully preserved in a charming Quercy hamlet, the house combines timeless character with modern convenience. Thick stone walls, rustic details, and a spacious terrace create a warm atmosphere.

Ready-Made Rental Opportunity: The property is ideally positioned and suited for conversion into a rental income source (gîte). Its inherently low maintenance structure is key to maximizing benefits, simplifying management, and ensuring a quick return on investment.

Environmentally Friendly:
- Passive Energy Efficiency: Thick stone walls and a southeast orientation provide high thermal mass and passive solar gain, minimizing reliance on heating and cooling.
- Renewable & Resource-Saving: A high-efficiency wood fireplace provides renewable warmth, while the lack of a large garden to water and no swimming pool to maintain keeps resource use and maintenance costs low.
- Extremely Low Water and Chemical Consumption: No large garden to water or maintain and no swimming pool requiring chemical maintenance.
