Period Stone Masterpiece in a Charming SW France Village
Imagine stepping into a house that perfectly balances timeless character with contemporary style, where every corner exudes charm, sophistication, and impeccable taste. This 19th-century stone house has been restored with extraordinary care and expense, resulting in a home of breathtaking beauty and effortless elegance.
Set in a peaceful village, everything you could need—shops, a tennis club, and a swimming pool—is just a short walk away, yet the property enjoys a sense of tranquillity. From the moment you enter, the house impresses with its mix of historic features and modern comfort. The ground floor combines kitchen, dining, and sitting spaces around a welcoming log-burning stove, flowing through an ancient doorway to a practical larder, utility area, and bathroom. The kitchen itself is a triumph of contemporary design, featuring granite worktops, a Quooker boiling water tap, travertine flooring, built-in appliances, and a sophisticated palette of colours.
Upstairs, a study area with a commanding fireplace leads to a sitting room with oak floors and a marble fireplace, opening onto a travertine-lined terrace overlooking the gardens. Three bedrooms and a modern bathroom complete this floor, offering light, space, and comfort. The top floor houses two luxurious bedroom suites with exposed beams, original stonework, and sleek bathrooms with walk-in showers. Double glazing and oil-fired central heating throughout ensure comfort in every season, while the imaginative use of colour and light-filled rooms create a home that is stylish and move-in ready.
Outside, the charm continues with walled gardens, mature trees, and a large stone barn draped with an ancient vine, which houses garaging and storage, with off-road parking. The property enjoys stunning views over the surrounding countryside, adding a sense of space and serenity.
All this within easy reach of Cazals (15 minutes), Gourdon (20 minutes), Prayssac (30 minutes), and Deganac (10 minutes), making it a perfect combination of village convenience and rural beauty. For those seeking a country home where historic character meets contemporary design—and a sense of style worthy of a magazine—this is the one.
