A42317SGU47 - Tucked into gentle countryside in the Lot et Garonne, this substantial stone property sits quietly within its own land, surrounded by pasture and woodland and far removed from everyday noise. The setting is open, calm and unspoilt, yet practical too – with shops and services in Montayral around 15 minutes away and easy access to both the Lot and Dordogne valleys.

The main house offers approximately approximately 197 m² (for guidance only) of living space and has clearly been well cared for over the years. Built in local stone, it feels solid and reassuring, with rooms that are generous rather than grand, and welcoming rather than formal. The décor plays a large part in this atmosphere: soft colours, natural materials and thoughtful lighting combine to create a sense of warmth and ease that is felt as soon as you step inside.

Life naturally centres around the large covered terrace, a sheltered outdoor space that works as an extra room for much of the year – for meals, conversations that run late, or simply sitting with a view over the land.

Inside, the house comprises a spacious fitted kitchen, a dining room and main living room with a library area, a second lounge, a mezzanine level, two bedrooms and a shower room.

In the opposite wing, reached via a traditional Quercy bolet, there is a more independent section of the house with its own sitting room, a bedroom with private shower room and dressing area, and a further mezzanine providing an occasional additional bedroom.

Beyond the house, the outbuildings form a practical and well-organised working yard. These include a converted barn with workshop and five horse boxes, a second barn currently used for storage with a summer kitchen and shower room, a wooden chalet with electricity, and a separate air-conditioned chalet of around 20 m² arranged as two rooms and fully enclosed.

The land extends to just over seven hectares, mostly fenced pasture with some woodland, suitable for horses, livestock or small scale farming. Close to the house, a salt water swimming pool (6 × 12 m) sits alongside the garden, vegetable plot and greenhouse, creating a pleasant balance between working land and leisure space.

Modern systems have been introduced discreetly, including heat pump heating, wood burning and pellet stoves, triple glazing, photovoltaic panels (9 kW) and an automatic entrance gate, making the property comfortable to live in throughout the year without detracting from its character.

Altogether, this is a place that will appeal to those who value space, animals and independence – somewhere to settle into properly, to develop projects if desired, or simply to enjoy the slower rhythm of life that the countryside here naturally provides.
