Location

This late 18th century property enjoys a peaceful and relaxing hilltop position with striking views, just 4km from the picturesque medieval village of Lauzerte (all shops and services, supermarket, restaurants, market on Wednesdays and Saturdays). Lauzerte is classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France and boasts beautiful dovecotes, mills and chapels. The interesting towns of Cahors and Villeneuve-sur-Lot both straddling the Lot River are within easy reach (41km and 55km). Montauban (36km) with its Ingres museum and Moissac (26km) with its spectacular Saint-Pierre abbey (famous for its cloisters) are well worth exploring.

Tennis and horse riding are possible in Lauzerte, and bike hire in Montcuq (16km). There is a skydiving school in Bouloc (10km), canoeing and kayaking on the Lot River in Puy-Levêque (56km), leisure lakes for swimming in Montcuq and Montaigu (20km). The Lot and the Tarn Rivers offer good fishing possibilities. There are a 9 hole golf course in Sauveterre (16km) and an 18 hole course in Castelnaud-de-Gratecambe (64km).

Exterior

Set in one hectare of grounds the property boasts views across the valley of the Barguelonne towards the distant Pyrénées. The house is approached through a wood and is completely secluded, surrounded by its lawns and terraces planted with lavender, rosemary and flowering shrubs, extending south past fig trees and a meadow to vineyards and a small lake beyond. The terraces, one south facing and one under vines against the west wall of the house provide sun and dappled shade for pleasant outdoor dining.

The pool is heated to 28°C free of charge and is in the centre of one of the lawns. Shade by the pool is provided by a large Catalpa tree. There is a pool pavilion convenient for poolside pre-dinner drinks.

Interior

The accommodation is of a very high standard; the interior is welcoming, very comfortable and elegant, and furnished with beautiful antiques, paintings, and many books. A large hallway gives onto a living room with a large open fireplace, an attractive dining room with doors to a side terrace, and a large well-equipped kitchen opening onto the covered dining terrace. Also on the ground floor are two twin bedrooms, a bathroom with a wc, and a shower room with a wc.

There are two staircases leading to the first floor. The first takes you to the spacious and bright bedrooms: three double bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom with a separate shower unit and a wc, a twin bedroom, and a further bathroom with a separate shower unit and a wc. The second staircase leads to a charming library, a real haven of peace.

The owner may accept up to 14 persons - please enquire.
