History lives and breathes in this remarkable 14th-century manor, perched high above the Aveyron valley in the former Midi-Pyrénées region. Reached by a winding, tree-lined lane, this stone-built mas offers a rare blend of seclusion, authenticity, and timeless charm.
The ancient façade is no illusion: inside, the original architecture reveals itself in every detail—from the rough-hewn kitchen and the worn stone staircase winding through the tower, to the tiny private chapel, discreetly tucked into a corner of the first floor. Climb further to the lookout turret, and you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views over the rolling hills and woodland—a landscape unchanged for centuries.
The formal dining room and original, vaulted "souillarde", with heavy timber doors, and rich textiles, evokes a sense of the medieval past, while thoughtful modern updates ensure ease and comfort. A well-appointed modern kitchen allows for effortless entertaining, and three en-suite bedrooms provide privacy and luxury for family and guests alike.
Outside, a shaded stone terrace invites long lunches beneath the trees, while the large swimming pool offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside—an ideal setting for peaceful retreats or summer celebrations.
