This beautifully restored historic manor house, set in a tranquil, rural location, sits above the meandering waters of the beautiful River Lot with panoramic views across the wooded valley. After 400 years in the hands of the same local family, Its English owners have sensitively renovated to provide a high standard of comfort, The property is in around 2.5 hectors of land comprising of the main house and a 3 bedroom Gite, (or used as B&B) a barn with planning consent for conversion to a dwelling and outbuildings. There are 2 kitchens one for the Gite and the other in the main house. The property has oil fired central heating throughout and an open wood fire in the lounge.
Most of the rooms have high ceiling with exposed original chestnut beams, all 6 double bedrooms have en-suite, with walk-in wardrobes, and panoramic views over the swimming pool, garden and river Lot below. Each en-suite has a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The kitchens have been completely refitted and have all the modern equipment you would expect, walk in larder, cooker, fridge, dishwasher, microwave .Large fully equipped laundry room.
The Gite
Lounge/garden-room has built-in seating, with a pretty view into the rear courtyard. There are sunbeds and tables round the pool area and an outside kitchen. The pool and wooden sun deck is surrounded by flowers and trees. The grounds provide both sun and shade, as well as breath taking views across the Lot valley. They also create the perfect setting for al-fresco summer dinning using the outside kitchen with barbecues.
If your interested in walking and wild life we have peaceful footpaths into the wooded valleys that leads directly form the property. The house is situated above the hamlet of Le Port, 5 minutes drive from the village of Vieillevie , 5 miles west of the medieval village of Entraygues in the Aveyron department. This area is the most beautiful stretch of the Lot Valley unspoiled by tourism, the region offers the mountains, gorges and valleys of the southern tip of the Cantal and Aveyron departments.
Currently my wife and I rent part of the property as a Gite in the summer season, but have in the past run B&B with a good income. There is a small workshop for any craft enterprise. The property is being sold lock-stock-&-barrel ready to open next season, its a turn key opportunity to walk into an established operation, the Gete is currently advertised on the Rent in France 2651, take a look to get an insight into the facilitates regarding the Gite.
We have miles of designated footpaths, abundant with flowers and wildlife; historic medieval villages such as Conques and Estaing; fine Chateaux and the attractive towns of Rodez and Aurillac. The immediate area is a recognized center for walking and canoeing. Some walks lead direct from the house and down to the river and canoe school below.
One of the bedrooms is ground floor and is not integral to the main accommodation and was converted for an elderly relative and has the services installed for a kitchenette.
Within the grounds there is a small grazing paddock suitable for a pony or sheep adjacent to the barn.
Staff attic accommodation
The 3 rooms above the Gite are work in progress and were set aside to provide additional accommodation for staff but could be used as bedrooms for the Gite.
