46700 lacapelle-cabanac, France

This fortified house is a piece of history in its purest form! Time must have stopped here and we expect to come across knights in arms watering their horses with water from the spring. Even the park contains vestiges of ancient times. Here we have gone back in time. The house is to be restored but offers more than 200 m2 of living space and offers 4 bedrooms and many possibilities. The thick walls are made of stone and the entrance is directly into a large living room, followed by a lounge with an open fireplace. A small room at the back gives access to the garden while a separate kitchen can be fitted out in the next room. This venerable building has retained many period features such as its tower, its mullioned and lattice windows, some of the gates that close the doors or the rack that still hangs in the hearth. An old spiral staircase made of chain wood leads to a large landing that will make a pleasant lounge or office space. Its honey-coloured floor bathes the place in warm light. It serves two bedrooms, each communicating with the bathroom. Higher up, still following the staircase, a second floor with the same landing where this time one could very well envisage a games room. Here the floor is in varnished pine and the framework is exposed. We find two more bedrooms. The secondary house will also need to be refreshed, but it will then make a perfect guest house! It offers an entrance where a kitchenette will be installed, a shower room with WC, a living room / lounge from which one goes up to the upper floor and the bedroom. Leaning against the house, a pergola overlooks the bamboo grove while a covered terrace offers a magnificent view of the rolling countryside. A very pretty park of more than 8000 m2 contributes to the beauty of the place. Many trees, a view that deserves to be cleared but above all astonishing stone elements, sculpted columns and perhaps other buried treasures... In the annex, a workshop, a laundry room, a wine cellar, storage space and further away, a carport for 3 cars in perfect condition. Of course, this small estate needs to regain all its luster, but whoever acquires it will have in their hands a real period gem. History lovers... don't miss this opportunity!
