Description
Ref.3904 : Pleasant french property for sale in the Lot department.
About ten kilometres from the small town of Figeac, this charming little chateau, built in a dominant position on a natural esplanade, offers a lovely view of the surrounding countryside, which is mainly made up of pastures and hedgerows. The place, without being totally isolated, is really quiet, some neighbouring buildings complete this rural picture. A few kilometres away is a small village with a school and some amenities, Figeac (Jean-François Champollion's native town) being the main resource town only 10 minutes away.
The chateau with its rectangular main building has 3 stories of living space, a converted attic and a vast basement.
Ground floor: The main entrance is in the centre of the building and leads to the kitchen, dining room, library, lounge and the upper floors via a wide stairway. A second staircase gives direct access to the basement where there is a small garage, a laundry room, the boiler room, a cellar as well as several closed and separate spaces that can be used for storage.
On the first floor: Five bedrooms with shower rooms or bathrooms, three of which are south-facing and have a view of the terrace and the park, the other two having a view of the park and the tower.
On the second floor, five other smaller bedrooms have been created. Two of them have access to a terrace from which you can see far into the distance. There are also two large bathrooms on each side of the floor.
Finally, in the attic, there is a large billiard room with a home cinema area. A magnificent oak framework pegged in the old fashioned way supports the slate roof. Several Jacobean windows bring a soft light to this room dedicated to relaxation.
The total living space is approx. 540sqm.
The outbuildings include :
A tower located right next to the chateau : in addition to providing additional accommodation, it offers a small, intimate and cosy area. On the two levels of the tower, there is a small sitting area with a bathroom on the first level. The second level offers a bedroom with a pretty circular frame with whitewashed beams. The ground floor is used as a shed.
A small garage for one car under the chateau
With a total surface area of approximately 9.88 acres (4 hectares), this park is partly surrounded by low dry stone walls and is composed of various species such as plane trees, oak trees, ash trees, magnolia trees, boxwood trees, etc.
A small pond fed by run-off water adds an extra touch to this natural setting. A series of low stone walls form an enclosure within the enclosure, housing a swimming pool, creating an intimate space for swimming and relaxation.
