Midi-Pyrénées, Lot, Laval-de-Cère, France

Unique 6 bedroom stone built property, which is ideally nestled in a quiet hamlet setting, on the gorge of the Val de Cere.

This impressive restored former barn, with its guest house, offers good proportions and was sympathetically completed just 20 years ago.

With its stone walls, unique charm and breathtaking views, the property is presented on a plot size of 1.2 hectare with a large 12 x 6m salt water infinity swimming pool.

In an oasis of calm, features include: living room with an impressive fireplace and impressive cathedral ceiling. The views from this room across the valley will never cease to amaze in any season. It's a panorama that is breathtaking. To one end of the room is a fully equipped kitchen and a crafted spiral metal staircase leads to the second salon or a home-working space. The views from here are also of note. 2 bedrooms with their adjacent bathrooms and a separate WC complete the ground floor level.

Lower ground floor, on the garden level: basement and 3 cellars. 1 serves as a laundry room with its water heater, another as a wine cellar and third as a store room. There is also a WC to serve the pool and terrace areas. There is also a library/home office with 100m of shelving. From this level there is also access to the swimming pool, the gardens with its 1.2 hectares and 50 fruit trees, which include: apple, peach, plum, pear, fig, mirabelle. A small cellar that houses the pool equipment is also on this level.

Across the gravel courtyard sits the handsome guest house, which the current owners rent out, (a future owner would need to reapply for the necessary permissions), and also use when friends and family stay. On entering, via the oak front door, features include a salon with its cantou, corner dining room and arched stone Souillarde feature leading to a bijou fully equipped kitchen, recently redone. 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and WC.

First floor: another 2 bedrooms, a family shower rooms and separate WC.

Beneath this house sits 3 cellars, 1 containing the heating system and fuel tanks for both houses. The central heating system can heat each house in isolation or both simultaneously. The water heater for the guest house is also located here.

Nothing disappoints and, once seen, never forgotten, this 17th Century property will enchant and delight its new owners all year round.
