Gite:





Adjacent to the farmhouse, in it's own gardens, is a 4-bedroom property.

Accommodation in the gite is set out over three floors. On the ground floor is the kitchen/diner that leads directly onto a large terrace with fantastic views. The is also a sitting room with glass doors out onto the balcony. The first and second floors comprise four double bedrooms served by a bathroom or shower room with WC on each floor. Each bedroom is furnished as a double.

The Gite has its own independent access with plenty of shady parking. The Gite is fully furnished and the contents could be purchased by separate negotiation.





Big barn:





The Barn has an upper floor area of approximately 120m2 and is accessed through double doors at the front. The building has been recently re-floored and works well as an event space (it’s been used for wedding receptions). The ground floor is currently configured as a workshop, with timber storage, work benches and a Lurem Universal woodworking machine. There's also a secure garage and under cover parking. 





The studio and small barn:





The studio (26m2) is to the left and has water and electricity. It has a wooden floor, is fully insulated and was re-wired in 2012. It also has a wood burning stove and has a mezzanine level (9m2) for additional storage. The large  barn to the right is a wood store but could be further developed over two floors if required. Both buildings were re-roofed in 2002.





In addition there is a further stone stable and feed-store. This offers further scope for development if required.





Outside:





The house and buildings sit in approximately 2.5 acres of lovely grounds. The garden is dotted with fruit trees (plums, cherries, pears, mulberries, figs and walnuts) and there is a fabulous raised terrace which overlooks the pool and the countryside beyond. This provides the perfect space for al fresco dining. 





A neighbour currently uses the paddocks to graze several horses for short periods during the summer. This works well for the current owners but can be terminated at any time. Included in the sale will be an elderly but reliable Massey-Ferguson diesel tractor with full width 'topper' (cutter) for maintaining the paddocks.





There's a fresh water well in the garden. This is fed by an underground stream and there is an adjacent power point so that in the dry summer months water can be pumped to irrigate the garden. 





The pool was professionally refurbished in 2018 with new liner and has both new winter and summer covers. Cleaning and maintenance of the pool if required is available from a local contractor.





Location:





The property is situated in the small hamlet of Camboulan, in an elevated position in a loop of the river Lot. A gravel tree-lined driveway leads to the house and although there are other properties in the hamlet, the property is very private and peaceful. The closest village is Ambeyrac, which is a 4min drive. Here you’ll find a village shop with ‘depot de pain’ and a butchers. The towns of Cajarc and Villeneuve are both about a 15min drive. Both have good restaurants, shops, weekly markets and there’s a Carrefour supermarket in Villeneuve. The historic towns of Fiegeac and Villefranche are both about a 30min drive.





The picturesque River Lot is a 10min walk and the property is on the edge of the beautiful Causses du Quercy National Park.
