About this property

Secluded house: charm, big park, salt pool, Spa, fitness, boules, Wi-Fi and view

This charming house that sleeps 12 + baby has been listed “3 Clévacances” by the tourist office of Lot-et-Garonne (approval number LGC194).

You can visit our personal website

You will find many pictures, videos and information about the region

The renovation will be completed in early 2015. The house is South-exposed on the plateau de Marcoux on a lit 4000 m² park bordered by a laurustinus hedge and wooden gates. The property is secluded and surrounded by set-aside lands with exceptional views of the countryside over 10 km (you can see Bourg-de-Visa).
At the rear of the park, there is a large very modern private lit sea salt 12x6 m pool with stairs at the end and jet stream secured by a solar slatted cover as well as wooden gates. It is surrounded by a large lit 100 m² terrace that is linked via a path to another 40 m² terrace (that can be covered with a solar awning) that leads to the kitchen via double French doors. The 2 terraces and the path are tiled with reconstructed stones and lit by lamps and spotlights.
In front of the house, a pavement with lit riser and a 3rd 15 m² terrace lead to the kitchen. The property is well lit both at the front and at the rear. 2 extra lanterns at the entrance of the property switch on when you arrive as well as the lighting of the riser to ensure comfort and safety of our guests when they come back late at night.
The 11x3 m boules ground is located at the front in the park which gives you the opportunity to play boules while enjoying an aperitif and preparing the dinner outside (large charcoal built-in barbecue and electric plancha by the large table under the acacias).
There is a very well fitted sports-fitness-relaxing room with electric darts, table tennis table and table football table.
The charm of traditional style mixed with modern comfort, oak beams, old open fireplaces (1 with insert in the living room) and period oak cupboards.
The modern built-in kitchen is fully fitted
Living room with insert that you can use in the old open fireplace, old oak beams, 2 sofas and 3 armchairs, LED flat screen television, landline phone, Wi-Fi Internet, DVD player, hi-fi system, safe and small stylish pieces of furniture.

The 5 bedrooms are spacious and the bedding is new. The 2 bedrooms on the ground floor are tiled and those on the first floor have parquet floor. These bedrooms have their own style.
The “Fleurs de Lys” bedroom with private shower room located on the ground floor has a lot of charm with its old fireplace, its old oak beams and its 2 original cupboards (the door and the window open onto the front park), the “Roses de Redouté” bedroom on the ground floor with private bathroom has a bed in an alcove, a sofa and an original cupboard.
On the first floor, there is a Mezzanine with yellow and blue tones, 2x90 cm beds and baby cot and a “Vintage” bedroom (the one in the middle) with “Mode” screens. A shower room is shared between these 2 bedrooms.
At the back, there is a large 50 m² double bedroom in a more Provencal style with private shower room, 140 cm bed, 120 cm bed and 90 cm bed.

By the large salt pool, there is a Spa (for 3 people: 2 sitting and 1 lying) on the large terrace that is linked to the terrace at the rear of the kitchen (with shower room at the end of the terrace). It can be covered by a solar awning. A tiled path links these 2 terraces.
Large outdoor swing set with hut for the pleasure of children: 3 swings (1 for baby), climbing ladders and slide as well as small tables, seats and games).
For teenagers: soccer, badminton, volley-ball, basket-ball, speed badminton and some board games.
For baby: baby cot, high chair and bathrobe

This house is particularly pleasant in summer: very cool thanks to its thick walls that are a natural air-conditioning system. Bedrooms are very pleasant both on the first floor and ground floor where the skylights at the rear bring some brightness and ventilation.

This 4000 m² property is a haven of peace far away from the town. You can hear the song of the birds, cicadas and frogs. It is limited by a 3-m laurustinus hedge at the rear and on the sides and a wooden fence at the front. A plants screen (conifers and bushes) obstructs the view from the small path.
Many tree, bush and flower species in the park: lime, bay laurel, bay tree, laurustinus, robinia umbraculifera, sumac, red maple, albizia, lilac, mock-orange, summer lilac, hibiscus, cedar, rose bush, rose-bay, lavender, box tree, rosemary, mint, thuja, stone pine, etc. as well as many flowers.
Garden furniture (several tables with seats, deck chairs and garden armchairs)
Pool and Spa: open from May to September during the high season and the peak season

Many visits are possible including several visits listed Unesco World Heritage

Un très bon moment
Nous avons loué La Rouquette pour un WE entre amis. Nous avons trouvé une propriété très très bien équipée, confortable et très adaptée à ce type de week-end. A la campagne mais avec un accès facile à toutes les commodités : très bon pain à l'épicerie du village, beaux marchés locaux. Les enfants ont pu profiter pleinement de la piscine et des jeux mis à leur disposition. Tout est fait pour profiter de la campagne et des barbecue en famille ou entre amis

Notre 4ième séjour à La Rouquette s’est déroulé, tout comme les précédents, sans aucun nuage (en ce qui concerne le temps, qui a été très agréable en ce mois de septembre 2018 (entre 26 et 32 degrés), et la maison et ses équipements). Malgré les pièces en enfilade de cette magnifique longère, nous avons tous notre intimité (4 des 5 chambres disposent d’une salle de bain privée). Après un arrêt obligatoire chez notre boucher préféré le dimanche matin au marché de Roquecor, nous avons passé 5 jours de farniente bien mérités à La Rouquette, sans pour autant nous ennuyer (entre superbe piscine éclairée (dont le liner a été changé en 2018), spa, barbecue, pétanque, salle de sport, ballades à vélo,… il y en a pour tous les goûts!). Les nouvelles baudruches pour s’amuser dans la piscine, dont le superbe flamand rose, nous ont valu quelques fous rires ! Nous avons ensuite pris la route direction le bassin d’Arcachon où nous avons séjourné sur la presque île du Cap Ferret (à 250 km de la Rouquette) afin de profiter de l’air de l’Atlantique pendant 4 jours. Entre dégustations d’huîtres au bord de l’eau à l’apéritif chez les ostréiculteurs (je recommande particulièrement les 2 adresses suivantes : Huîtres Eric Larrarte dans le magnifique et typique village Le Canon et Chez Boulan au Cap Ferret), ballade en pinasse, dune du Pilat, île aux oiseaux et les fameuses cabanes tchanquées ainsi qu’un tour gourmand sur le bassin, accompagnés d’Alain, un local très sympathique, qui nous a fait découvrir à pied les endroits secrets de la presque île (villages de L’Herbe et du Canon principalement), qui a comblé nos yeux comme nos papilles, nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Nous sommes ensuite repartis direction Marcoux pour terminer notre séjour et nous relaxer au calme à La Rouquette. Farniente, visites et farniente sont les mots d’ordre de nos vacances dans cette très belle région qui offre de nombreuses possibilités d’excursions. Nous tenons à remercier la propriétaire qui est toujours disponible par téléphone et à notre écoute. Nous pensons déjà à réserver 2 semaines pour l’année prochaine et qui sait, passer quelques jours dans le pays basque français. Retourner à La Rouquette est, pour nous, synonyme de vacances réussies ! A bientôt ! V.G.

un endroit à découvrir dans un magnifique cadre naturel loin des plages bondées
excellent séjour dans une maison avec toutes les fonctionnalités nécessaires présentes et un calme olympien au milieu d'un cadre naturel bucolique. Seul bémol: la chaleur dans les chambres du haut malgré les climatiseurs portables. Difficile de dormir dans les meilleures conditions

Why they chose this property

We have been taken not only with the region (also called French Tuscany) but also with the house (typical Quercy style with old fireplaces, oak beams and cupboards), the large park planted with flowers and trees, the environment and the location that is pretty heavenly.
The house has been fully renovated by mixing the charm of traditional style with modern comfort. It is a holiday house to get together with the family. Most of the inhabitants are English.
It is the gastronomic region of France (great wines, local cuisine and gourmet markets) and the mild climate is very pleasant and easily bearable. There are many cultural visits. It is an ideal starting point to visit Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées. The house is located at the edge of Périgord, Quercy and Gascogne.
The large park is flowered all year round and great trees offer many shaded areas much appreciated when the weather is hot. Its surface area of 4000 m² offers space for everyone. The old house is very cool and pleasant in summer.

What makes this property unique

This property purchased in 1997 has been fully renovated and modernised over the years and everything will be completed in early 2015.

You can see many pictures of the property and the region on our personal website.
Egea Spa and rear terrace that can be covered with a large solar awning (with remote control) to protect yourself from the sun.
Large heat-resistant stone and brick barbecue to cook grilled meats and bake pizzas or bread
Large cedar swing set for the delight of children

Large very modern lit sea salt pool surrounded by a large terrace (that is linked to another terrace at the rear of the house) and secured by a solar slatted cover purchased in 2009.
A boules ground and a relaxing-fitness room have been fitted in 2014
The bedding has just been changed, the bedrooms are tiled or have parquet floor (no carpet) and all bathrooms have been modernised (2 extra bathrooms with shower, washbasin and toilet in 2015).
This place is a true paradise: seclusion, quietness, comfort, space and exceptional views of the countryside (you can see Bourg-de-Visa 10 km away). The property is surrounded by set-aside lands.
You can hear the song of the birds, cicadas and crickets. In spring you can hear the frog cawing in the small ponds and you can also see small hares and hinds in the surrounding fields.
The small country lane in front of the house has very little traffic: only local traffic (around 10 secluded houses on the plateau de Marcoux) so you can safely have a stroll without being disturbed by a car.
Quietness, comfort and relaxation far away from the daily noise and stress.
