Midi-Pyrénées, Tarn-et-Garonne, Auvillar, France

Loft Living, privacy guaranteed
Behind a closed entrance in the very heart of one of the most charming small towns in France
Some houses draw attention from the main street. This one is far too elegant for that. Nestled in a quiet lane in the historic heart of Auvillar, and surrounded by its own walled garden behind a private gated entrance, this converted 18th-century barn offers complete privacy in a bustling town.
And what a village! Auvillar is thriving, historic, and highly sought-after, with excellent facilities and a vibrant community, all within two kilometers. Moreover, the distance is impressive if the evening goes particularly well.
The House
It may not be the largest house in town, but it exudes elegance thanks to its interiors. Extensively renovated with impeccable taste, this former barn has been transformed into a truly exceptional space, where contemporary touches blend seamlessly with its historic character.
The open-plan living space has an industrial feel, from the metal staircase to the designer lighting. Imagine a Manhattan loft blended with the Southwest of France, with a more favorable climate and much better wines.
The accommodation includes:

Open ground floor with industrial influences throughout
An elegant kitchen under a glass roof, illuminated by light
Living room with terracotta tiles, a wood-burning stove, exposed beams and wooden beams
Study area for landing with a tensioned net structure for lying down, for working (or pretending to work)
Elegant bathroom with a curtained bathtub
Two comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom

Everything is presented in impeccable condition, with double glazing in all rooms and electric heating.
Outside
Enter through the gates into your own private garden, a charming and unexpected haven of peace. Off-road parking and a garage provide convenience, while a pergola offers shade for leisurely lunches, and a swimming pool with a step-over deck takes care of the rest.
In summary
If you're looking for something truly special, with all the work already done and nothing left to do but start the move, it's not an easy task. Keep in mind, though, that once you're there, you probably won't be able to leave.
