Description
Condition
- Excellent
Our in very specific Quercy-style built domain, former farmhouse, consists of two separate houses (main house and guest house) separated by a large (35m2) covered terrace. The guest house is about 200 years old. The 60cm thick walls are made of of local stone and many original details have been preserved. The main house is post war with outer walls of local stone. Equipped with all modern facilities and gas central heating, the two buildings are both habitable and suitable for living and renting throughout the year.
Lay out
The house (approx. 110m2) has all rooms on the ground floor. Via a small step to the front door you enter a large hall which gives acces to the kitchen, living room (25m2), 3 bed-rooms and the second large bathroom (7m2, shower / WC / washbasin + washing machine). The large tiled kitchen (26m2 can also be used as dining room-kitchen) has a fireplace and French doors leading to the sheltered terrace, located between the two houses. The 3 spacious bedrooms have wooden floors. Two bedrooms (14m2/14m2) have sinks and built-in wardrobes, while the third (13m2) has a modern en-suite bathroom (shower / basin / WC). Underneath the house is a garage / workshop (150m2) with separate driveway. The detached guest house (approx. 100m2) has its own entrance. A small step leads you into a large hall which gives acces to all the rooms and modern second bathroom (shower / sink / WC). The large kitchen (18m2) gives access to the terrace. The spacious living room (25m2) has a beautiful original stone fireplace. One of the bedrooms (15m2) also has an original fireplace, while the other bedroom (13m2), has a modern en-suite bathroom (shower / basin / WC) . The house has partly original wooden floors and beamed ceilings. Under the house is an authentic cellar (100m2). In 2002 both houses were renovated with modern plumbing and electricity facilities. The guesthouse has a new roof and both houses have been connected to a newly installed septic tank system. Both have gas central heating and are habitable all year (or rentable). There is a telephone and TV (Satellite) connection and also Internet in the very near future. A legal certificate is available which states that the homes are free of termites and lead and energy efficient. Both houses are fully furnished and equipped for living or renting out. Full or partial takeover of home, garden and patio furniture, linens, garden tools and car (VW Passat with French registration) is negotiable. Simultaneous sale of nearby forest plot 1,5 ha (own firewood!) is also negotiable.
Grounds and outbuildings
The plot is approx 5000m2 and consists largely of an easily maintainable lawn with a sprinkler system. There are 2 driveways and ample parking (outdoors and in garage). The site houses mature trees for shade in warmer periods, some fruit trees and a vegetable garden. At 25 m from the houses is a wonderful, 10x 5m, swimming pool (salt water: no sore eyes because of chlorine and very low maintenance) with a large stone terrace with shower and beautiful views.
Other remarks
Our country domain is located in the extreme NW corner of the Tarn-et-Garonne department, where it borders Lot and Lot-et-Garonne. This part of the Quercy nature area may be less well known, but nine centuries of history are preserved and maintained while it still has a cozy small scale. The landscape offers varied and colourful scenery. Valleys, vineyards, orchards, forests, historic and idyllic fortified villages alternate each other. The mass tourism of many other French departments is unknown here, but the area still offers facililities of cities such as Toulouse, Montauban and Bordeaux and medieval jewels as Cahors, Albi, Cordes and Moissac. The excellent local cuisine with regional specialties in the many small restaurants are there to be discovered, not to mention the excellent Bergerac, Cahors and Bordeaux wines. Located in historic, much sought after and tranquil nature, with excellent road, rail and air links, our country domain is a unique opportunity to reside in year round (schools within a very short distance) with both rental income from the guest house ( and in high season much demand for both houses up to 12 people). In the lovely southern French climate, sheltered by the Pyrenees, with different sports and leisure posibilities for everyone .
