Description

Boasting an imposing position above the valley, this immaculately presented property offers incomparable panoramic views whatever the season.

Renovated from a ruin with high quality materials, the property has been restored with elegance, authenticity, passion and attention to detail. Its location in the heart of the sought-after Causses du Quercy and its proximity to a medieval village add to its appeal.

The old stone house has been considerably extended to create a sophisticated home with light-filled living spaces. The living room and contemporary bathroom, with its roll-top bath and large walk-in shower on this level, have been cleverly arranged around the stone contours of the wall.

The first floor features an open-plan living area and a kitchen with a spacious dining room. Exposed stonework, chalk and lime finishes and bespoke joinery feature throughout. On this level, there are two wood-burning stoves and a separate WC.

On the second floor there is a large master bedroom with a magnificent chestnut ceiling and exposed beams. There is a WC in the pigeonnier on this level.

The main house is equipped to run underfloor heating and, with the addition of a heating source, could provide central heating.

Outside, the 100 m² stone terrace with vine-covered pergola makes the most of the panoramic views. At the foot of the pigeonnier at one end of the main house is a stone, vaulted water tank in good condition which is accessed from the outside terrace.

Just a few metres from the house is a stone barn that looks traditional from the outside, but has a modern, completely self-contained, 2 level apartment inside. Comprising an open-plan living room and kitchen and at garden level, a large bedroom and bathroom, the apartment, like the main house, has been tastefully renovated.

Further along is a two-storey stone barn currently used for storage and, to the south of the main house, there is a restored two-storey stone pigsty with a bread oven.

There are three natural springs in the grounds, their pools carved out of the rock.
Close to the famous ‘Route des Cazelles’, the property has its own cazelle (stone shepherd’s hut) which, although in need of complete renovation, is a stunning feature.

Entrance to the property is from the very quiet, no-through road where there is a parking space and a recently built car port.
A more peaceful, quiet, beautiful location would be hard to find!

The nearest amenities are 3 kms away in the nearby village with its mediaeval history and where there is a grocery store, bakery, doctor and school plus a lively weekly market.
The popular town of Cajarc, with all its shops and services is 14 kilometres away.

This is a unique and elegant property that really must be visited to appreciate the care that has been taken with its renovation and the tranquillity of its location.
