Striking turreted manor set on a rocky promontory overlooking the Lot River valley, with 493 m2 of accommodation, seven bedrooms, an 87.8 m2 guest cottage and over 13 hectares of grounds. The estate includes a spring-fed lake, woodland, stables, swimming pool and tennis court.
Set on the outskirts of one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, this distinctive property occupies an elevated position overlooking the Lot River valley and surrounding countryside. The manor is approached through more than 13 hectares of predominantly wooded grounds, providing privacy, extensive views and a particularly attractive natural setting.
The Manor
The 493 m2 manor is built around a striking turret and occupies a commanding position on its rocky promontory. The ground floor has a grand entrance hall leading to a series of light-filled reception and dining rooms, together with two laundry rooms. The tower contains a wine cellar, while a spacious cellar provides useful additional storage.
Upstairs, seven generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a wide landing, with high ceilings contributing to the sense of space and character. The property would benefit from some updating, providing an opportunity for a future owner to refresh the interiors while retaining the character and proportions of the existing house.
Heating is provided by an eco-friendly wood-pellet central heating system, complemented by a heat pump. The property has an excellent energy performance, with estimated carbon emissions of just 4 kg CO₂/m2 per year, corresponding to an A rating.
Guest Accommodation
A separate 87.8 m2 guest cottage provides two bedrooms and comfortable independent accommodation for family and friends, or potentially for staff. It is also heated by a heat pump.
The estate extends to more than 13 hectares, approximately 32 acres, comprising mainly woodland together with areas of grassland. The grounds include a small spring-fed lake, two wells and a natural spring.
Further facilities include four stables, a guardian’s cottage, a swimming pool and a tennis court. The pool and tennis court both require refurbishment, while ample parking is available within the property.
This is an unusual estate combining a substantial turreted manor, independent guest accommodation and extensive grounds, together with exceptional views over the Lot River valley. With some updating and refurbishment, it offers considerable scope as a private country residence in a particularly attractive setting.
