Old Meets New!

Property Description

Summary
Excellent large (optional fully furnished) barn extension, delightfully decorated throughout. A light filled house East/West facing. The house has 4 spacious bedrooms, a large kitchen/diner, a generous lounge, which includes a modern efficient wood burner. The house is extremely well insulated to keep warm out in summer and warm during the winter! The property borders the woods on one side and faces the village on the other. The land wraps around the property edging onto the woods and valley. There are also a further 8+ hectares of steep woodland parcelled around the valley behind the property. The very private garden is lined with shrubs and trees and houses a 10 x 4m swimming pool . The lower part of the garden has plum and apple trees plus a mature grape vine. There is also an original well and a fenced off area (about the size of a badminton court) which has been used as a vegetable plot.

Location
The nearest Super-U supermarket has electric charging points and fuel and is a 15 minutes drive to Labastide Murat which also offers a bank, boulangerie, medical centre, garage, pharmacy, tabac, restaurant, large DIY store, garden centre and various other small shops, plus a regular morning market every other Monday. In the other direction is the main city of Cahors with a modern cinema complex, markets twice weekly, plus all other regular amenities of a small town. The village is visited twice weekly by the nearby baker and a local vegetable provider. There are also 3 La Poste services nearby.

Access
The house is ideally located in the countryside yet conveniently situated to access main routes. The property is served by 5 major airports Toulouse, Bergerac, Rodez, Brive and Limoges which are 1-2 hours drive. The nearby town of Cahors has a train station linking the north and south of France. Although the house sits quietly in the countryside on the edge of the wooded valley, it is a 10 minute drive to the main A20 running from Paris down to Spain.
