Description

A45737SNM82 - Originally built in 1837, the property has been thoughtfully restored to retain its character while providing comfortable, flexible accommodation for modern living. Whether you're looking for an impressive family home, somewhere to welcome extended family and friends, an equestrian property or a business opportunity, this estate offers remarkable versatility in one of the most desirable areas of the Quercy Blanc.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive 70m² salon. With its cathedral ceiling rising to over five metres, exposed original beams, wood-burning stove and large windows overlooking the gardens, it is an extraordinary space that feels both light and welcoming. Whether hosting family celebrations, entertaining friends or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, this room naturally becomes the centre of daily life.

Above the salon, a 20m² mezzanine provides a peaceful space overlooking the main reception room. Currently used as an additional sitting area, it would also make an ideal library, office or creative workspace.

The spacious 32m² kitchen has been designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. Fully equipped and centred around a traditional wood-fired Rayburn, it offers generous preparation space, excellent storage and direct access to the gardens via the adjoining 10m² utility room, making outdoor dining effortless during the warmer months.

The ground floor continues with a beautiful 23m² bedroom filled with natural light and opening directly onto the garden through French doors. A second room, currently used as an office, also enjoys garden access and could easily become another bedroom if required. This part of the house is served by a shower room with WC together with a separate guest WC.

A second fully equipped 17m² kitchen provides additional flexibility, particularly for large families or those considering hospitality projects.

Further along the house is a welcoming 24m² sitting room, complete with its own wood-burning stove and lovely views over the rear garden. This cosy living space is complemented by a generous 11m² bathroom with bath, bidet and WC, together with another spacious 19m² double bedroom overlooking the gardens.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with a large landing leading to a 12m² shower room, a bright 20m² bedroom enjoying garden views and an impressive 27m² principal bedroom complete with its own wash basin and WC.

Separate from the main house, the independent guest accommodation provides excellent flexibility for visiting family, multi-generational living or holiday rentals. The ground floor offers a generous 54m² open-plan living area combining a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting room centred around a wood-burning stove. Upstairs are three bedrooms measuring 12m², 15m² and 12m², together with a shower room, WC and useful storage room.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as appealing as the house itself. Beautifully established rose gardens surround the property, with mature trees, sweeping lawns and colourful planting creating interest throughout the seasons. Fruit trees, including mulberry, pear and walnut, provide both shade and abundant harvests.

The swimming pool and surrounding terrace offer the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while the large covered terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the formal gardens, the land opens into several enclosed paddocks, making the property particularly attractive for horses or other livestock. A 30m² stable block, additional field shelters and extensive grazing provide excellent facilities, while woodland and open pasture create a wonderful natural environment.

A stream runs along the boundary of the estate, where the remains of an old mill add further charm and character. There is also a large pond and two functioning wells, enhancing both the beauty and practicality of the property.

The house benefits from gas-fired central heating, underfloor heating, double glazing throughout and the warmth and character provided by the traditional wood-fired Rayburn. (Please note that the septic systems do not conform to current regulations.)

Properties offering this combination of space, character and flexibility are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Equally suited as an elegant family home, a boutique chambres d'hôtes, holiday rental business, equestrian property, smallholding or retreat venue, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country estate in an outstanding location. Combining approximately 415m² of accommodation with 13.6 hectares of beautiful Quercy countryside, it offers not just a house, but an exceptional quality of life.

The historic medieval village of Montpezat-de-Quercy, is renowned for its beautiful arcaded market square, impressive 14th-century Collegiate Church of Saint-Martin and relaxed village atmosphere. The village offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including cafés, restaurants, a bakery, butcher, supermarket, pharmacy, medical centre, primary school and a popular weekly market. Throughout the year, Montpezat-de-Quercy hosts a variety of cultural events, including the much-loved Blue Trumpet Festival, adding to the village's lively community spirit.

The surrounding area is renowned for its picturesque hilltop villages, vineyards, walking and cycling routes, making it an ideal base from which to explore the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne. Historic Cahors is approximately 30 km away, Montauban around 35 km, Agen approximately 70 km and Toulouse around 85 km. Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport can be reached in approximately one hour, while Caussade railway station, just 18 km away, provides regular rail services to Toulouse, Montauban, Brive-la-Gaillarde and Paris. The nearby A20 motorway offers excellent road connections both north and south, making the property easily accessible for French and international visitors alike.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
