About this property
Lovely, rustic farmhouse with stunning views, salt water pool and tennis court.
Set in private grounds of almost 4 acres, the living and play areas to the rear of the house enjoy glorious, elevated, south facing views over fields and woods with occasional glimpses of the Pyrenees.
A secure, private gravel driveway leads to a spacious parking area. An old stone staircase leads up to a covered dining terrace and front door.
The farmhouse is comfortable and spacious. Windows are double glazed with shutters and some have magnetic or roll down fly wire. The kitchen has old floor tiles, is well equipped with a gas hob and an electric oven. Living areas and bedrooms are well appointed and have exposed, polished floorboards. The ceilings have many exposed oak beams.
There are extensive lawns and shaded areas around the house. The large swimming pool is surrounded by artificial grass, is partially fenced, has Roman steps and is bathed in sunshine throughout the day. The artificial grass tennis court is 20 metres from the swimming pool. There is an outdoor table tennis table, a swing and a large hammock.
In the grounds of the property, there is on old stone bread oven and a secure, covered well.
The Aveyron River is 10 minutes away, down the hill and is ideal for canooing or kayaaking and fishing. The mediaeval villages of Varen and Lagoupie are on the river nearby and 15 minutes downstream is the ancient market town of St Antonin Noble Val. The ancient town of Najac is close by and the historic bastide town of Cordes sur Ciel is 20 minutes away.

About the host
Hosted by Kate and Eric
Why they chose this property
We and our 4 children love relaxing by the pool. We enjoy playing tennis as well as table tennis, walking around the lovely countryside, kayaking up and down the nearby Aveyron and visiting nearby historic towns. Night markets and fĂȘtes during the summer are another highlight.
What makes this property unique
A very peaceful, secure and quiet location on the edge of a tiny hamlet. Set in lovely countryside close to ancient, picturesque villages, the Aveyron river and magnificent gorges.
