luxury property for sale Nord, France

A former convent and its walled park on the Causse Noir limestone plateau in Aveyron. On the edge of the village, the dry-stone perimeter wall defines the boundary line of the property. Two stone pillars mark the entrance where a walnut tree watches over the ornamental garden situated slightly above. Set in the centre of grounds extending over 1.5 ha, the old convent with its impressive south-facing facade comes into view on the right. The dovecote and the gable with its cross are reminders of the fact that the convent was built in 1826 and that it has witnessed many religious and cultural emotions during its existence. Outbuildings to the north serve as a boiler house and woodshed. Further on, an old swimming pool in need of restoration can be made out, as well as a typical porch providing access to the meadow. Pines, cysts, limestone... everything evokes the genuine Causse plateau. In addition to the property, a vast plot of land of more than 7 hectares would provide space for breeding animals.
