Midi-Pyrénées, Aveyron, La Fouillade, France

A beautifully restored former farmhouse in a tranquil rural setting, with a large converted barn offering three self-contained living units that can be enjoyed together as one spacious family retreat or separately, making it equally suited to extended families or a rental business.

Surrounded by rolling countryside, wildlife, and birdsong, the 7 bedroom property has been sympathetically renovated offering comfortable living in a beautiful setting.

The main house opens into a generous living and dining room with an open-plan kitchen. Character features abound, from the original stone fireplace with wood burner to a traditional bread oven and even an authentic well.

A luxurious bathroom with clawfoot bath completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and a family shower room provide peaceful accommodation, while stairs lead down to a large games room with its own fireplace and wood burner, alongside a utility room.

Attached to the farmhouse, the converted barn holds two additional homes. The first offers a grand living room and dining room with beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace, together with a fully equipped kitchen. French windows open to a balcony with sweeping views over the garden and valley beyond.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.

Through an interconnecting door lies the second house, echoing the same generous layout, with its own open living area and two bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

Throughout, exposed beams and dormer windows create warmth and character.

The grounds are equally enchanting, a true secret valley reminiscent of a landscape from the Shire. Set in over 2 acres, with lawns, orchards, oak and walnut trees, and a woodland embracing the property, creating a private world of greenery and timeless calm.

At its heart lies a large swimming pool, bordered by flowering hibiscus and shaded by a wisteria-clad pergola, a setting as idyllic as it is inviting.

For nature lovers, the magic continues: more than ninety species of birds have been recorded from the balcony alone.

Despite the sense of seclusion, the property remains close to everything you need. The village of Lunac is just a 15 minute walk away.

Shops and services can be found in La Fouillade only 10 minutes by car, and the historic town of Najac-with its castle, medieval streets, restaurants, and cafes-is a short 15 minute drive.
