Tiny house (30 m²)





Across the quiet country lane is a separate 30 m² tiny house with a kitchen, shower room and combined bedroom/living area with a wood-burning stove.





Barn and outside:





The large barn provides substantial covered and enclosed space, with areas measuring 36 m², 81 m² and 107 m². Part of the barn is open and can accommodate several vehicles, while the enclosed sections offer storage and scope for different uses.





The property extends to 12.982 m², with mature trees, numerous fruit trees and lawns surrounding the buildings. The grounds are bisected by a very quiet country lane, with a small number of neighbouring properties but no immediate proximity.





Location: 





The property is around 6km from Puymirol, a small hilltop village in Lot-et-Garonne with everyday amenities and a historic centre. Agen is within easy reach for a wider range of shops and services, while the surrounding countryside is characterised by rolling farmland, woodland and small villages.





The setting is rural and peaceful, but the house is not isolated. The quiet lane running through the property serves only a small number of neighbouring homes, and the main buildings sit within their own substantial grounds.





With the main house, gîte, dovecote, tiny house and barn, the property could suit someone looking for a large family home with space for guests, separate accommodation for extended family, or the possibility of developing a small hospitality or creative project, subject to any necessary permissions.
