Charming Stone Farmhouse with Character, Views, and Potential — Tarn-et-Garonne/Lot-et-Garonne Border

Tucked away at the very end of a sleepy country lane — where the only traffic you’ll encounter is the occasional curious deer — this classic early 19th-century stone farmhouse rests peacefully amid the rolling countryside near the picturesque villages of Lacour de Visa and Bourg de Visa, both a short (and scenic) drive away, complete with local shops, cafés, and that all-important boulangerie.

The main house oozes rustic charm and character.  Inside, you’ll find an open-plan living space with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and an inviting log-burning insert stove — perfect for cosy winter evenings with a glass of something local. The original staircase leads to a vast first-floor room, bursting with potential, with a  hallway opening onto a covered terrace made for long, lazy alfresco lunches or relaxed summer evenings.

Period features abound: beamed ceilings, thick stone walls, and a layout that marries authenticity with comfort. The basement offers large, flexible spaces — a workshop, storage, a wine cave… or all three, depending on your priorities.

Much of the heavy lifting has been done, with a new roof, updated electrics, double glazing, and a modern septic tank already in place. There’s still scope for finishing touches — an opportunity for you to add your signature style without getting your hands too dirty.

Outside, the property is set in just under 7,000m² of mature gardens, with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. A collection of charming outbuildings adds to the appeal: an open-sided cart barn, a second stone house ripe for renovation (guesthouse, studio, gîte?), and several other useful structures.

In short: it’s the French countryside dream — full of charm, character, and real potential. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful permanent residence or a bucolic bolt-hole with room to grow, this property ticks all the (stone-built) boxes.
