• 2 independent 3-bedroom gites


• Separate stone cottage with own garden


• 5000m2 attractive landscaped gardens


• 5 ½ ha good grassland


• Large swimming pool


• Superb views across Lot valley

 The property has operated as a successful gîte business for some 15 years, with a good lettings record and current forward bookings. The gites are offered on an up-and-running basis. The property is well-proven for continuation as a gite business but, due to its  accommodation arrangements, offers flexibility of use and would be ideal for a large, or extended, family residence (or accommodate 2 families). With good quality grassland, existing accommodation for horses and good riding in the vicinity it could also be used for equestrian pursuits.

 Situated among plum orchards, grape vines and rolling  farmland in the heart of Lot-et-Garonne, Lavande de Méric is on the edge of the beautiful Serres d’Agenais. Although located in a peaceful and secluded area, the property benefits from fast and easy access to local shopping, health and education  facilities at Ste Livrade-sur-Lot (5 mins) and larger town services at Villeneuve (15mins.) Due to its centralised location Toulouse, Bordeaux, the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees are all easily accessible.
