A rare jewel in the crown of Lauzerte - An imposing stone tower house with views, style and a touch of magic
Nestled on the most sought-after street in Lauzerte—the jewel of southwest France's medieval hilltop towns—this beautiful stone tower house offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Peacefully located and completely private, you're just a short walk from the town's lively cafes, excellent restaurants, artisan galleries, and all the character this exceptional bastide has to offer.
Recently renovated from top to bottom by its current owners with impeccable taste and considerable expense, the house is presented in immaculate condition, with an emphasis on elegance, comfort, and ease of living. Upon entry, one is greeted by the cool tones of travertine, a stone staircase that wouldn't have looked out of place in a castle, and a welcoming living room with an open fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings in. A charming stone archway leads to the heart of the house: a large, light-filled kitchen with vaulted cathedral ceilings, sleek modern cabinetry, a wood-burning stove, and a range cooker that will suit any food lover. French doors open onto a sunny terrace, offering spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
With four generously sized bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, the house is ready for immediate use, whether as a comfortable family home, a stylish second home, or a carefree retreat. There's nothing to do but unpack and settle in. Heating is a mix of electric radiators and underfloor heating, with partial double glazing throughout, making this a low-maintenance property suitable for all seasons.
And then—as if all that weren't enough—comes the real centerpiece: the garden. Completely private and unoverlooked (a true rarity in the heart of the city), the outdoor space is an oasis of tranquility. Here you'll find an 8x4 heated pool, a travertine-lined sun terrace, established plantings, and a covered outdoor dining area, perfect for al fresco entertaining. There's even a summer kitchen and storage room to complete the picture.
In short, this is a very special property - beautifully balanced between heritage and modernity, elegance and practicality. With its prime location, exceptional presentation, and rare outdoor spaces, this house truly stands out in Lauzerte.
