82190 lacour, France

A gem of an upscale village (with excellent potential for lunches)
Dating back to the 1840s, this large stone village house stands proudly in the exquisitely charming old village of Lacour de Visa . The property is situated in a particularly desirable corner of southwest France. Literally a stunning distance from the excellent local inn (a detail not to be underestimated), the property has been lovingly restored over a number of years by its meticulous owners, who clearly believe that “doing things right” is the only option.
The result is a beautiful blend of period character and discreet modern comfort, achieved at great expense. Original features abound, complemented by handcrafted double-glazed oak windows and doors, gas central heating, and an overall atmosphere of quiet, confident quality.
The ground floor offers a large, welcoming living room with exposed beams, original terracotta tiles, exposed stonework, and a beautiful fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Double doors open onto a side terrace overlooking the village square and the church a view that improves with the seasons.
The elegant, handcrafted oak kitchen is a triumph in itself, featuring a Rangemaster gas range, a separate solid fuel cooker, beamed ceilings, and exposed stone walls. A ground-floor toilet and shower room are also located on this level, because practicality can, in fact, be beautiful.
An antique staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a second sitting room (ideal for quieter contemplation or for noisier teenagers), a useful storage room, a marble fireplace, and fabulous original parquet floors. The master bedroom is a delight, with its antique flooring, wood-burning stove, and luxurious en-suite travertine bathroom, complete with a roll-in tub, shower, and a magnificent view that makes mornings unnecessarily cinematic.
The upper floor comprises two further bedrooms and a bathroom, all beautifully presented and with excellent storage.
Outside, a private walled garden offers peace, privacy and a touch of romance, with passionflowers climbing enthusiastically up the walls, a fenced entrance and a supply of wood for your winter fires.
All this in a charming hilltop village, five minutes by car from shops and bakeries, five minutes from Roquecor, about 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulouse, and 35 minutes from Agen with its fast TGV connection to Paris.
A rare opportunity to acquire a house with character, style, and an exceptionally good lunch option nearby. Please form an orderly queue!
