Architect designed 1970’s home

Architect-Designed 1970s Gem with Pool, Character, and Charm – Villeneuve-sur-Lot

Set discreetly behind a gated entrance and framed by beautifully established gardens with magnificent specimen trees, this architect-designed 1970s home is something rather special. Offered to the market for the first time since its creation, this much-loved family home exudes personality, space, and mid-century flair in equal measure.

The main house offers four bedrooms (one with a balcony, another with a dressing room), a light-filled sitting room with open fire and mezzanine, a fitted kitchen, and plenty of those thoughtful touches—exposed stonework, plaster cornicing, and lovely wooden floors—that make a house feel like home. Double-glazed throughout and benefiting from oil-fired central heating, the property also includes a substantial underground garage.

Outside, the setting is simply enchanting: over half a hectare of park-like gardens with a 10m x 4m swimming pool, large garage workshop and store, open carport, and even a few small outbuildings just begging to become an artist’s studio or home office. The views are delightful, and the sense of privacy is complete.

While the property would welcome a little refreshing and updating, it has been sensibly priced to reflect this and offers tremendous potential to create a standout home in this most sought-after region of south-west France.

Peacefully rural yet only five minutes from the bustling town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, 15 minutes from the historic bastide of Monflanquin, and just 45 minutes from Bergerac airport—this is a wonderfully connected countryside retreat. Surrounded by vineyards, châteaux, and markets galore, it’s hard to imagine a better place to live la belle vie.
