About this place
With clever use of space following the architect-led renovation, this characterful stone village house with five bedrooms has an enclosed garden and a large stone barn. Surrounded by vineyards and oak woods the house is 10 mins from local shops and 35 minutes from Cahors.
The property has been well renovated using quality materials and is presented in excellent condition. The house has retained its original character and its layout is a little quirky. The main living areas are on the first floor, accessed by a beautiful external stone staircase. An open-plan sitting room and kitchen extend up to the ceiling, with a pellet stove and skylight bringing light into the space. A separate dining room and principal bedroom suite complete this level.
The ground floor has two further bedrooms, a shower room, laundry room and a separate sitting room with a bar area. A fifth bedroom is accessed from outside, offering additional flexibility for guests.

Buying property in France
France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
