Midi-Pyrénées, Tarn-et-Garonne, Montaigu-de-Quercy, France

Where rural charm is combined with excellent croissants.
Discreetly nestled at the end of a quiet driveway, this 19th-century stone country house offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful location in the rolling hills of the Tarn-et-Garonne region and the vibrant town of Montaigu-de-Quercy just a short walk away. Enjoy the restaurants, shops, swimming lake, and Saturday market without your neighbors having to worry about your hedge.
Inside
The large dining room features a high, airy ceiling, a study on a mezzanine (to give the impression of being very busy), a wood-burning stove, and tiled floors. Doors open directly onto the garden and terrace, so the outdoors is never more than a few steps away.
The fitted kitchen features an exposed beam ceiling and a Godin wood-burning stove, as well as a storage room and a utility room. A door leads to a covered terrace, ideal for long lunches that turn into extended dinners.
There are three comfortable bedrooms (one with air conditioning, for those days when the South has ideas) and practical bathrooms.
The house has everything you could wish for: exposed stone and beams everywhere you look. Modern amenities, double glazing, and electric heating are also included, so you can enjoy the stone without needing three sweaters.
Outside
Approximately 1.9 hectares of landscaped meadows and woodlands surround the house, all available for walking, picnicking, or simply relaxing. There is a 10 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool with a sun deck, as well as a generous 28 m² garage/workshop for your car, tools, or that project you've been meaning to start.
Place
Never has the "geographical location" been more true. Toulouse airport is about 1 hour and 20 minutes away, and Agen, with its high-speed TGV to Paris, is 35 minutes away. All around are the fortified towns (bastides) that make this region of Southwest France so special.
