Stone Farmhouse in Stunning Countryside

Property Description

A stunning 17th-century stone farmhouse set in the heart of the Aveyron, nestled in the picturesque countryside close to the historic bastide town of Villefranche-du-Rouergue, this renovated stone farmhouse presents an extraordinary opportunity for a traditional French life.

The house has undergone restoration that has preserved many of the original features but also incorporating modern practicality of day to day life.

Surrounded by stunning countryside with breathtaking, panoramic views and serene tranquillity, this property boasts no immediate neighbours and encompasses 3 hectares of farmland alongside a fish-filled lake, a mature orchard, vegetable plot and boasting an amazing outdoor heated swimming pool.

With ample shaded areas to relax and read that book you've been longing to do, it's a must for those nature enthusiasts.

On entering the house you are taken into the main dining area, you are greeted by a warm atmosphere infused with nostalgia which is typical of such a charming farmhouse.

The modern kitchen is highly functional and modern, ideal for creating beautiful meals with local produce.

On the same level there is a spacious lounge area featuring a fully operational wood burner to keep you cozy during winter evenings; overlooking an expansive courtyard with the most beautiful countryside scenes.

This property includes five double bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, all in immaculate condition.

Upstairs, there is a full-sized attic currently designated as storage but offering potential for conversion into living space.

Below is a basement and caves that similarly serves as storage yet holds possibilities for changing into more rooms.

Outside, the courtyard provides sufficient parking spaces along with landscaped gardens, barns, orchards, vegetable plot, a hot tub, and an in-ground salt water swimming pool equipped with heating and its own filtration system.

The barn has been well-maintained and is two-story stone measuring 500 m² (which could be converted with the appropriate permissions), along with a historic 25 m² stone bread oven currently utilized as commercial space and a 75 m² hangar.

For over ten years, this property has operated as an award winning chambre d'hôtes, attracting numerous repeat visitors. An Alpaca Agritourist farm is available for separate purchase with a highly successful turnover.
