This property enjoys a privileged location just minutes from the medieval village of Montcuq, a historic village with strong tourist appeal, and situated along the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago). It is accessed via a charming gravel driveway. The views extend over verdant valleys, holm oak woods, and the surrounding sun-drenched hillsides, offering a sense of seclusion and tranquility while remaining close to local amenities.

The estate includes traditional outbuildings: a stone barn, a guest house, and a bread oven. The grounds, structured yet informal, blend landscaped gardens, ancient trees, a stone terrace, low walls, and walking paths along the stream that runs alongside the property. A well-integrated swimming pool, a relaxing terrace, and meadows complete the picture. This property exudes history, yet is ready to embrace elegant contemporary living: whether as a primary or secondary residence, a hospitality project (bed and breakfast, events), anything is possible. The light of the Quercy region, the gentle seasons, and the perfect balance between space and privacy all combine to make this a truly authentic and inspiring haven.

A sophisticatedly decorated, elegant manor rebuilt in 1912 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, in 1.76-hectare grounds, 50 minutes from Toulouse and its airport, close to Montauban. A dead-end lane leads to the main entrance to the estate, which is framed by two imposing umbrella pines with twisted trunks. Two ashlar pillars crowned by pyramid-shaped capitals topped with spheres stand either side of wide, grey, double-leaf, metal gates topped by railings. Once though the gate, visitors’ gazes are drawn by two fenced meadows, dotted with cedars and oaks, while a hedge hides the spaces set aside for parking. Opposite the drive, a brick fountain babbles away regularly in front of the main building in the property. The three-storey manor boasts living space of approximately 520 m² and its façades are made of pink brinks punctuated by white dressed stone or rendered stone. The roof made of interlocking tiles and formed by unique series of interlinking sections is in very good condition. The 18th-century former dowager’s manor was entirely rebuilt in the 20th century by a Dutch diplomat, who became a benefactor of the village following the floods of 1930. He drew his inspiration from the modern Arts & Crafts movement that was fashionable in northern Europe at the time. He combined the architecture of noble aesthetics with the wealth of traditional craftsmanship know-how, as demonstrated by the sculpted panelling, oak flooring and staircases, moulded or coffered plasterwork on the ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, white Quercy stone or stained-glass windows in each room. Away from the main stoop, a clearing houses a swimming pool with light-coloured stone decking, surrounded by shrubs, flower beds and small bushes of aromatic plants. The pool’s technical facilities are housed in a nearby building. A shaded terrace stands next to the swimming pool. An orchard made up of old fruit tree varieties stretches out below to the left. Lastly, a wood occupies the edges of the entirely fenced property.
