A Different Pace of Life
More Than a House. A Life in France.
Set in the small village of Gensac, this is a home for people who want more than a holiday address. Step outside for the boulangerie, cafés and village life; look out across the valley from home; spend summer afternoons by the pool and evenings in the garden. With a garage for the car and everyday services close at hand, it offers the pleasure of rural France without feeling isolated.
Where You'll Be
Why Gensac?
A charming, tranquil village perfectly placed between Bergerac and Bordeaux — with everyday shops and services, an English-speaking doctor, and an established community of British and other international residents alongside French locals.
Cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy, the boulangerie and a tennis court are all a short walk away. An English-speaking doctor is available locally, and there is a well-established expat community across the surrounding wine villages.
Gensac from the west — the house sits on the edge of the old village, looking out across the valley.

The Lifestyle
Imagine Arriving Home
Not a hotel check-in. Just the shutters, opening onto your own morning.
Wake to Church Bells
Open the shutters to morning light and the sound of the village waking up around you.
Walk to the Boulangerie
Fresh croissants, a coffee, and absolutely no rush to be anywhere else.
A Morning Ritual
Breakfast in the Courtyard
Coffee on the terrace, roses climbing the old stone wall, and the crape myrtle in full bloom overhead. Some mornings, there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
An Afternoon Beside the Pool
Or at a nearby vineyard, for a long lunch in the sun with a glass of something local.
Dinner in Saint-Émilion
Good food, better wine, and friends who feel like family by the end of the evening.
You don't have to leave in a few days. This is what it feels like to actually live here.
Easy French Living
A Village Home You Can Actually Live In
The appeal is not simply the house. It is the ease of the life around it — a genuine French village, beautiful countryside and the reassurance of practical services close by.
Views Across the Valley
Enjoy an open outlook across the surrounding countryside — a sense of space and calm while still living in the village.
Garden, Pool & Garage
Your own outdoor space for long lunches and summer evenings, a private pool, and a garage where the car can stay safely when you return to Britain.
Easy to Settle In
An English-speaking doctor locally and a strong British and international community in the area make the transition to life in France much easier.
Everything You Need Close to Home
Gensac has the essentials for everyday life, so owning a home here does not mean being isolated in the countryside.

The Owners
Meet the Owners
We're Kevin and Michele. We asked ourselves the same question — and then we did it. We renovated this house completely and made it our French home. It has given us the French lifestyle we hoped for — village life, good food, vineyards, friends and time to enjoy it. We are now ready for the next chapter and would love the house to go to someone who will enjoy that same way of life.
