An 18th century presbytery, garden and swimming pool in a small peaceful village between Haut Quercy and Corrèze. Built on a steep slope in a commanding position over the village, the generously proportioned presbytery is a jewel of Correze architecture dating back to 1764. Nestling in a green setting, it is flanked by terraces that insulate it from any noise. The church is opposite, on the other side of a small square with an obelisk-shaped war memorial. There is a view of the old castle, as was typical in villages of yesteryear, where the two powers, both religious and mortal shared the same space. This was provided, however, that there was a large enough community to support the parish priest. This was clearly the case here, where the presbytery, a symbol of religious power, dominates the mortal power from all its height, as is reinforced by the impressive dimensions of its roof, which was completely refitted recently and which is still under a ten-year guarantee. This is a huge advantage for any buyer who will have to manage such a large roof area in the future. Probably originally built in an opus incertum manner and plastered to give it a more noble appearance, the facade is now covered with a huge Virginia creeper, emphasising the impression that the entire building is part of the surrounding nature. The house is accessed via two terraced gardens with a path leading up to them. The lower garden opens onto a grassy esplanade, while the upper garden, which has more trees and plants, must have once had a vegetable garden and the parish priest's garden, and which are just waiting to see better days again. To enter we pass through a single-leaf gate with a modest, low wrought-iron base. As visitors go through they will be sure to want to ring the bell hanging from the ancient metal belfry, which is just crying out to be rung. The path branches off to the right and leads to the swimming pool.
