Mansion

Property Description

Exceptional property in the heart of Figeac's historic center. In the heart of Figeac's protected area, a designated City of Art and History, discover an exceptional private mansion whose origins date back to the 13th and 14th centuries, enhanced by renovations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Completely restored with remarkable attention to authenticity, this residence elegantly combines its historical character with contemporary comfort. Offering approximately 350 sq m of living space, the property boasts a harmonious layout across several levels. On the ground floor, a spacious, independent 70 sq m guesthouse provides ideal accommodation or an immediate source of income. The first floor opens onto a generous kitchen leading to a magnificent 45 sq m living room with a monumental fireplace, bathed in light and opening onto an elegant balcony shaded by a beautiful wisteria. A first en suite bedroom completes this level. The second floor houses an office (or guest room) as well as two beautiful en suite bedrooms. Finally, the top floor offers a commanding view over the rooftops of the old town. It comprises two en suite bedrooms and an additional room that could serve as a reading room or another guest bedroom. One of the suites boasts a truly unique feature: a 'soleilho,' a traditional open attic typical of the region, now converted into an en suite bedroom extending onto a south-facing covered terrace, a true invitation to contemplation. Throughout the restoration, the original architectural elements were meticulously preserved: stone fireplaces, antique beams, period parquet floors... all details that lend this residence a warm and timeless atmosphere. This historic home is currently successfully operated as a high-end guesthouse and bed and breakfast. It is equally suited to continuing this business, as an elegant family residence, or even to a project combining the art of living with hospitality. Rare on the market, this property captivates with its authenticity, spaciousness, quality of renovation, and prime location, allowing you to fully enjoy a lifestyle where everything is within walking distance, in the heart of one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Southwest France. A characterful residence of understated elegance, ideal for lovers of heritage and exceptional properties.
