Montaigu-de-Quercy, Midi-Pyrénées 82150

A timeless haven of rural peace near Montaigu-de-Quercy Nestled at the end of a peaceful country lane, this enchanting stone estate feels like a world apart, where life slows down and the landscape takes center stage. Set on 2.9 hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees, the property combines historic charm with relaxed French country living, just minutes from the lively market town of Montaigu-de-Quercy. Dating from the mid-19th century, and formerly a manor farm, the estate carries its history gracefully in every detail honey-colored stone walls, exposed beams, ancient fireplaces and the gentle character that only time can create. The main house unfolds with an effortless sense of space and versatility. A magnificent stone staircase leads to a covered terrace, the perfect spot for leisurely mornings with a coffee overlooking the gardens. Inside, the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, where oak cabinetry, stone paneling, and a wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A second sitting room offers a quieter retreat, with its own stove and a cozy, intimate ambiance. With six beautifully presented bedrooms and stylish modern bathrooms, the house effortlessly blends comfort and character. The ground floor adds further flexibility, offering a second contemporary kitchen, a cinema room, a laundry room, and a powder room. The lower level could easily be divided to create a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, providing excellent independence for guests or extended family, and offering exceptional potential for a bed and breakfast or rental accommodation business. The adjoining guest house continues the story in a truly rustic style, with a farmhouse kitchen and wood-burning stove, a living room with exposed beams, a comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, and an additional room that could serve as a dressing room or a second bedroom. A private travertine terrace, a wine cellar, and a laundry area give it a wonderfully independent and characterful feel. Outside, the estate becomes something truly special. Wisteria-Covered pergolas, rose gardens, fruit trees, and woodland paths meander through vast lawns, creating a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons. A vibrant orange trumpet vine wraps one side of the property, adding a touch of color and romance to the stone facade. This is a place defined by peace and privacy, with no close neighbors and endless countryside walks right from your doorstep. Substantial stone barns offer exciting potential for further development, workshop space, or classic car storage, while a traditional well, a chicken coop, and generous grounds add to the sense of self-sufficiency and opportunity. At the heart of it all, the outdoor living space invites you to long summer days and tranquil evenings: a heated saltwater pool with electric cover, a large sun terrace and a pool house with summer kitchen designed for effortless entertaining under the open sky. A rare and soulful estate, where history, nature and lifestyle come together in a beautifully balanced setting, just over an hour from Toulouse and its international connections.
