Country property with annexes, pool and land

Tucked quietly into the countryside just outside a charming village, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom stone farmhouse manages the rare feat of combining authentic 18th-century character with thoroughly modern comfort. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable — the sort of place where muddy boots, long lunches and impressive dinner parties can all coexist quite happily.

Dating from the early 18th century, the property has been lovingly restored by its current owners — very much a labour of love and, happily for the next owner, now finished to an impeccable standard.

Inside, the house is rich with period charm. The sitting room is anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace complete with a Godin log-burning stove, perfect for winter evenings when the only sensible activity is sitting with a glass of wine and pretending you meant to read that book all along. Throughout the house you’ll find ancient oak floorboards, antique terracotta tiles, exposed stonework and beautiful beamed ceilings, each quietly reminding you that this house has been standing here since before indoor plumbing was considered fashionable.

The modern fitted kitchen blends beautifully with the historic structure and includes built-in appliances and a Smeg range cooker, ensuring that whether you’re cooking a feast or simply heating something enthusiastically from the local market, you’ll do so in style.

A striking contemporary staircase rises elegantly through the ancient stone walls — a perfect marriage of old and new. At the top of the house, the vast upper-floor sitting room showcases some of the finest timber work imaginable and offers a wonderful retreat for relaxing, entertaining or simply admiring the craftsmanship.

Practical comforts have not been forgotten: double glazing, a new granule heating system, and — perhaps most importantly — a proper wine cave, because priorities matter.

The property sits within 8,824m² of land, with established trees and sweeping views across the surrounding countryside. There is even its own water source, which feels wonderfully self-sufficient and faintly impressive when mentioned to guests.

A second immaculate house with its own private garden offers ideal accommodation for visiting family, friends, or a gîte should you wish to share the magic of the place with paying guests.

A large barn provides generous storage and garaging space, along with one of the more memorable home offices you’re likely to encounter: a beautifully presented 1974 Saviem bus, cleverly converted into a quirky holiday let or workspace — quite possibly the coolest commute imaginable.

And for those who take swimming seriously (or simply enjoy the idea of it), the garden also features a 12m x 2.5m saltwater swimming pool, perfectly designed for proper lengths — or dignified floating with a drink.

The property enjoys an idyllic rural setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. The charming villages of Beauville and Lauzerte are within easy reach, along with the lively towns of Moissac and Agen, offering bars, restaurants, shops, schools, medical centres and beautiful examples of classic Quercy architecture.

For travel further afield, Toulouse Airport is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes away, making this a wonderfully peaceful home that still keeps the wider world comfortably within reach.
