Midi-Pyrénées, Lot, France

Built around 1885, this rustic property has been renovated to a good standard, but still has the potential for development.
Surrounded by countryside, it is the perfect property for those wishing for some peace and quiet and to spend some time in nature.
The current layout has an independent bedroom and bathroom at rear ground level which is ideal for guests wanting a little more privacy, but which could also easily be used for Air BnB, as could the large attic space, which has a separate entrance.
The range in the kitchen previously provided heating throughout the house but needs repairing, so the current heating is provided by the wood burning stove in the lounge. If you want to live in luxury, you will need to invest in the house. However, if you want a lovely, rustic, cosy, holiday home or weekend retreat destination, the house is already perfect for that.

The terrain has become somewhat overgrown in places and consists of grass and woodland to either side of the long track up to the road, a flat area to the rear of the property and more woodland. With some restorative work it will be a lovely garden again.

This property has a lovely ambiance and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The thriving market town of Castelnau-Montratier is a five minute drive away. There are always lots of events going on, a great sunday market, a summer night market, some really good restaurants, shops, boutiques, bank, pharmacy, school, and a stunning domed church which resembles a mini St Paul's Cathedral. One of my favourite villages in France, without doubt.
