Description
Nestled in the rolling valleys of Lot-et-Garonne, this exceptional 18th-century stone country house is situated in a park of 1 to 3 hectares, offering privacy, tranquility and views that would make postcards pale with envy.
Located in an idyllic and tranquil setting, the property boasts a most spectacular walled garden, constructed to rigorous standards with stone walls, iron railings, an entrance gate and raised flowerbeds creating, without a doubt, the finest vegetable garden in the region.
The main house is brimming with period features: exposed stonework, original fireplaces, beamed ceilings, antique stone sinks, and a palpable sense of history. The large, open-plan living room boasts a full-height ceiling with magnificent beams, a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and terracotta tiled flooring. The sleek, modern kitchen, with granite worktops and integrated appliances, opens through a glass door onto a wisteria-covered balcony overlooking the walled garden. A cozy nook with polished antique wood paneling also provides access to the balcony, perfect for curling up with a book or a glass of wine.
The steps leading to the ground floor reveal a study with a superb fireplace, a laundry room, a ground-floor toilet, and a glass door opening onto a covered terrace and the walled garden. There is also access to a large garage/workshop with an entrance through an ancient cave system ideal for aspiring potters or connoisseurs of secret wines.
The property features comfortable and stylish bedrooms with modern and elegant bathrooms, all tastefully decorated and presented. Heating is provided by a modern heat pump, and the septic tank is fully compliant.
A separate, charming cottage includes a modern fitted kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and a covered terrace perfect for guests, family, or as a superb rental opportunity. There is also a garage block and a stylish office above the swimming pool.
The 15m x 6m swimming pool is surrounded by trees and stone walls, offering a private oasis with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and lake. The grounds are enhanced with mature topiary, a well with a water reservoir and an irrigation system, and are designed to combine beauty and functionality.
All this is located at the end of a quiet lane, yet just a few minutes' drive from excellent local amenities, making this property the ultimate combination of charm, luxury and country living - a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Lot-et-Garonne.
