Nestled in one of the Lot's most beautifully preserved hamlets, this remarkable 16th-century Quercy estate offers a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of French heritage in an idyllic countryside setting.
Just 15 minutes from the historic town of Cahors and the charming medieval village of Montcuq, the property enjoys complete privacy without isolation and stunning views. A thriving village with shops, a primary school, a medical centre and everyday amenities is only three minutes away. Toulouse and Bergerac airports are both approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away, and fibre broadband is available.
Set within approximately 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of mature grounds, the estate is surrounded by rolling countryside, vineyards and woodland. A beautiful saltwater swimming pool (8x4m) blends naturally into the landscape, while the gardens feature magnificent mature trees including plane, ash, maple, olive and hazel. The hamlet itself is known for its remarkable ancient oak and its welcoming yet discreet community, offering the perfect balance between neighbourly warmth and peaceful privacy.
The main stone house provides approximately 280 m² of accommodation above superb vaulted cellars. Carefully renovated, it retains all the charm of traditional Quercy architecture with exposed stone walls, original beams, fireplaces and an elegant bolet, the region's characteristic covered stone gallery.
The accommodation comprises:
Approximately 280 m² of living space
Five bedrooms
Two bathrooms
Spacious sitting room (40 m²) with original fireplace and wood-burning stove
Country kitchen
Underfloor heating in the kitchen and sitting room
Magnificent vaulted cellars
Separate from the main residence are two independent stone cottages of approximately 70 m² and 35 m², ideal for extended family, guests or holiday rental income.
A further 45 m² stone outbuilding offers additional conversion potential, subject to the necessary permissions.
The impressive stone barn is divided into four sections, three of which are particularly spacious. One section of approximately 250 m² retains an exceptional original timber roof structure, providing outstanding potential for workshops, storage, events or further accommodation.
Some renovation work is required on parts of the outbuildings, presenting an excellent opportunity to enhance and personalise this unique estate.
This is a property with enormous versatility. It would make an outstanding permanent residence, a family holiday home, an equestrian or creative retreat, or a boutique hospitality project.
Historic estates of this quality, with substantial land, multiple buildings and such an authentic setting, are increasingly difficult to find.
