Saint Gery-Vers, Lot, France

Exclusive 16th century property renovated to perfection

Perched magnificently above the Lot valley, this impressive property, renovated from a ruin to perfection, offers a voyage through the ages. Steeped in aeons of history, the property retains features dating from the 16th Century with its working bread oven, wine cellar and tower with circular stone staircase. It echoes the once important location of the property at the centre of a village which was a major disembarkation point for travellers and goods taking the road to Cabrerets.

Each subsequent addition to the property through the years up to the 1940s has been restored and renovated by the current owners not only to a high level of elegance and sophistication but also affording a level of contemporary comfort giving a DPE rating of 'D'.

The 300m² of habitable space arranged thoughtfully throughout the property affords 5 bedrooms and 5 shower rooms and also the flexibility to create deluxe apartment spaces should a new owner wish to develop a chambre d'hôtes/gîte business (subject to the relevant authorisations).

There is a superb swimming pool tucked into an upper terrace level, which has far reaching views and a jacuzzi with its own private terrace that seems to float above the cliff.

A two storey garage at road level provides covered parking and is enclosed by large, metal gates.

The meadow, part of the property that runs alongside the river Lot, has private access for fishing.

There are several hectares of land nearby that are not attached to the property but that provide a bucolic setting and more magnificent views.

The property even has its own cave into the cliff.

This property must be visited to appreciate the quality and charm of its presentation and the uniqueness of its location.
