A Rare Gem in the Crown of Lauzerte – Substantial Stone Tower House with Views, Style, and a Splash of Magic

Tucked away on the most sought-after street in Lauzerte — the jewel of southwest France’s medieval hilltop towns — this handsome stone tower house offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Peacefully located and completely private, you’re just a gentle stroll from the town’s lively cafés, excellent restaurants, artisan galleries and all the character this exceptional bastide town has to offer.

Recently renovated from top to bottom by its current owners with impeccable taste and considerable expense, the house is presented in immaculate condition, with a focus on elegance, comfort and easy living. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the cool tones of travertine flooring, a stone staircase that wouldn’t be out of place in a château, and a welcoming sitting room complete with an open fireplace — perfect for cosy evenings. A charming stone archway leads into the heart of the home: a large, light-filled kitchen with vaulted cathedral ceilings, stylish modern cabinetry, a log-burning stove, and a range cooker fit for any culinary enthusiast. French doors open out onto a sunny terrace, offering spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

With four generously sized bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, the house is ready for immediate enjoyment — whether as a comfortable family home, a refined second residence, or a no-hassle lock-up-and-leave retreat. There’s nothing to do but unpack and settle in. Heating is a mix of electric radiators and underfloor heating, with partial double glazing throughout, making this a low-maintenance, all-season property.

And then — as if all that weren’t enough — comes the real showpiece: the garden. Completely private and not overlooked (a true rarity in the heart of town), the outdoor space is a tranquil oasis. You’ll find an 8×4 heated swimming pool, a travertine-lined sun terrace, established planting, and a covered outdoor dining area perfect for alfresco entertaining. There’s even a summer kitchen and a store room to complete the picture.

In short, this is a very special property — beautifully balanced between heritage and modernity, elegance and practicality. With its prime location, outstanding presentation and rare outdoor space, this is a home that truly stands out in Lauzerte.

Properties like this don’t come to market often — don’t miss your chance.
