House for sale, Lot, Midi-Pyrénées, in Figeac, France

Nestled 4 km from the charming medieval town of Figeac, in a peaceful 14th-century hamlet, this magnificent property has been running a B&B and 2 independent gîtes for almost 20 years, welcoming an average of a thousand guests between April and September alone. Over 500 m² of living space on 4,500 m² of land in a dominant position, offering exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The preservation of this historic site and the silence in which it is immersed are major assets. The tastefully decorated rooms feature authentic materials without sacrificing modern comforts. The presence of antique furniture and works of art, included in the sale, creates a warm, friendly and tremendously aesthetic atmosphere. Of the many old, quality materials preserved, we particularly appreciate the old roof timbers, exposed beams and solid parquet flooring, and the three imposing fireplaces; one rustic with a recent wood-burning insert, the second in 17th-century ashlar, the third monumental in 14th-century ashlar. Outside, the property comprises various areas bordered by dry stone walls, a vegetable garden surrounded by fruit trees, and a fully automated greenhouse. At the far end of the property, an automatic, salt-treated swimming pool comprises 2 pools with overflow and automated, remote-controlled shutters. A water supply from a well, should the need arise, gives the pool a much-appreciated autonomy during the summer months. The pool-house, with its summer kitchen and soundproofed terrace, adjoins the swimming pool and promises moments of conviviality and, in the evening, contemplation of a sky without the slightest light pollution (black triangle). The configuration of the hamlet preserves the privacy of its occupants, whether large families or guests, thanks to the private garden of each house and the fluid circulation of the numerous paths. Finally, a barn, listed as a remarkable barn in the Lot and recognized by the Fondation du Patrimoine, will offer the possibility of opening the business to weddings, seminars, master classes... after renovation, giving free rein to the entrepreneur's imagination and guaranteeing strong growth potential for a hospitality business. Subsidies can easily be obtained to complete this renovation project under the aegis of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, who has already endorsed many aspects of the project. So don't delay in discovering this unique property offering charm and historical authenticity, adapted to modern comfort. Ideal for entertaining, or for seclusion, in a haven of nature and tranquility...
