A rare opportunity to acquire a complete farmstead set within 28.4ha or 70 acres farmland, peacefully located near the ever popular 'Bastide Village' of Beauville, Lot et Garonne. In former times this was a little hamlet so there are numerous stone buildings around one large stone house. The buildings are all set on a knoll thus giving idyllic country views in all directions. The property comprises:
1) Main house, built in stone and offering some 120m2 on the first floor and possibility of the same again by converting the attic. 4 wine cellars below. Currently a huge kitchen with fireplace, living room and 2 bedrooms, this could become a spacious 4 bedroom house. A full renovation is required, but the house and roof appear sound.
2) In the courtyard a large stone barn with stables.
3) Also in the courtyard, the old bread oven building which would make a little guest studio.
4) Large garage/workshop in stone.
5) Pretty Pigeonnier.
6) Small stone outbuilding.
7) Ancient 2 room stone house to renovate
8) Second large stone barn.
There are gardens around the house with ancient trees, oak, walnut, figs, cherries, plums, a well, vegetable garden and views all around.
The 70 acres are split 50 acres arable or grassland and 20 acres oak woodland. The property would lend itself to a large family, or someone wishing to create gites, or indeed to restore and run as a farm or smallholding again. Beauville with shops and restaurant 10 mins. Toulouse and Bergerac airports 70mins.
Tax Fonciere approx. 900 euros a year.
The department of Lot et Garonne in Aquitaine has many small yet lively villages and this department in the south of France is a real find for both nature and culture lovers.
One of Lot et Garonne's assets are the views afforded by the properties over the Garonne or the Lot lush countryside with woodland and lots of leisure activities. The residents have invested well with most of them living in detached houses that are their principal residences. There are however lots of holiday or second homes to choose from.
Compared to the more expensive Perigord or Gers, the Lot et Garonne still holds some bargain French property buys. Perhaps a village home or a traditional stone house in a green environment is what you are looking for, if so, this area is the perfect place to invest in a second home.
Stripping out the usual fluctuations, the housing market in the region has been steadier than most. Long term investments may offer a good return in the future as the Lot-et-Garonne is increasingly appealing amongst foreign purchasers, just like the whole of the region of Aquitaine.
