Idyllic Stone Farmhouse with Guest Cottages/ Gites, Pool & Panoramic Views – Near Lauzerte & Montcuq

Tucked away in a delightfully sleepy hamlet in the heart of the Tarn-et-Garonne, just a short scenic drive from the bustling night markets and restaurants of Lauzerte and Montcuq (yes, that Montcuq), this utterly charming ensemble of period stone buildings offers a rare combination of rural tranquility, historic character, and stylish comfort.

The main farmhouse is a masterclass in rustic elegance – with exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, original terracotta floor tiles, and a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings by the fire. The rustic-chic kitchen is perfect for preparing long, lazy lunches, and the sitting room opens onto a balcony with jaw-dropping views over the valley (ideal for a morning coffee or sunset apéritif). And for the wine lover or collector, there’s a vaulted stone cellar just waiting to be stocked.

All tastefully decorated and upgraded with modern comforts including double glazing, a heat-pump system for year-round climate control, solar panels, solar hot water, and new insulation. It’s the best of both centuries.

There are two converted guest cottages – one with its own heat pump – ideal for extended family, visiting friends, or rental income.

A substantial stone barn provides ample parking, alongside a separate open cart barn offering additional garaging. Nearby, a fully self-contained home office with shower room offers a peaceful spot to work – and could easily be transformed into a third guest cottage or independent dwelling.

Outside, you’ll find established gardens, a large covered terrace perfect for long summer dinners, and a secluded swimming pool area with those truly spectacular views the region is famed for.

A much-loved family home, reluctantly offered for sale – peaceful, private, full of character and possibility.
