Set peacefully above one of the prettiest stretches of the Lot River, this substantial 6 bedroom plus 7 bathroom property commands amazing views over hills and woodlands.

Once a school and a Notaire's office, many of the original features of the property have been retained during its careful renovation.

This charming property is ideal as a large, family home, as there are a number of independent living areas that can be separately accessed.

The property has also been run as a chambre d'hôtes/gite rental business in recent years as it is not far from the historical UNESCO village of Conques and the Pilgrim's Route de Compostelle. There is also a kayaking/canoe station nearby so it's a very popular area for tourists.

The main living area at ground floor level features a large, fitted kitchen with dining space, a practical laundry/storage room with shower room and WC and a bedroom with a WC.

At the first floor level, there is a stunning living room with Godin wood stove and dining space that affords wonderful views down to the sparkling Lot River below. There is also a cosy, arched alcove used as a library and WC. On the floor above, there is an ensuite bedroom with bathroom and two dressing areas.

There are 4 further ensuite bedrooms which can be accessed via a covered walkway from the main house or via a private courtyard with independent access, making them perfect for rentals. Adjacent to these ensuite bedrooms is a living room and large equipped kitchen with dining area.

Beyond this, there is access to a studio apartment which requires finishing and a large, workshop on two floors.

Outside there is a charming stone outbuilding used as a greenhouse with bread oven, a fish pond and a lovely arched stone gateway which was formerly the entrance on to the property.

Opposite the main house there is the delightfully private swimming pool with sundeck, outdoor kitchen and more views.

There is also a large, two storey barn, which could be transformed into further accommodation with the correct authorisations.

Set in over 4000m² of land, the garden features a productive vegetable plot, mature trees, specimen planting and hidden seating from which to admire the stunning views.

Nearest town for all facilities is 15 kms away and the larger towns of Aurillac and Rodez are about 1 hour away.

This is a truly delightful property and you will fall in love with the stunning views of woodlands, hills, valleys and the river. You will revel in the peace of the surrounding countryside and enjoy all four seasons in the well-tended gardens.

A property for nature lovers and for those who are happy to be far from the madding crowd so book your visit now! You won't be disappointed!
