Super sweet stone house under the oak trees. Ideal for those who love nature, peace and privacy. Charming because of its simplicity and beautiful atmosphere. Romantic! The house is completely secluded in the forest. Meter-thick walls, so cool in the summer, warm in the winter. The weather is still wonderful here until November.
Good fireplace and central heating, good beds, new luxury kitchen and new bathroom. The house is completely isolated in the forest. If you get up early you have a chance of seeing the deer.
Design
Spacious living room with a seating area by the fireplace. Cozy dining area. In the salon there is also a lovely sofa bed (high quality) that can be folded in one movement.
Spacious bedroom with good beds (auping).
At the end of 2023, my house received a new kitchen with induction cooking. The new natural stone bathroom has a walk-in shower.
Outside you sit under the trees, in the shade with a beautiful view of the grounds. 2 hectares of forest where you can move freely.
Good barbecue and a nice sitting area outside.
Environment
The house is located in the middle of the Lot river valley and in the Le Quercy nature reserve, on a hill. Beautiful walking area. Everything in the Dordogne is close by, but you avoid the tourist crowds here.
Just a 10-hour drive from Utrecht or a flight to Toulouse and you will find an oasis of peace in this poetic landscape of farmlands, lined meadows and forest.
Swimming pool and lakes five kilometers away or go for a swim in the Lot River - a magical experience!
The area is also great for cycling and there is a lot to do: the museum of the sculptor Zadkine, prehistoric caves, canoeing, tennis, golf, climbing in the phenomenal climbing forest near Pradines or simply follow the wine routes (the Malbec of Cahors grows here ).
Cahors is a fifteen minute drive. Toulouse is a bit further, but this beautiful, historic and most innovative city in France is more than worth the drive!
Small-scale agriculture and forests determine the landscape. There are regional markets, festivities and festivals nearby. The film festival in Gindou is great! Cahors has many music events. There is a weekly market in Cazals on Sunday mornings. Go to the market in Catus on Tuesday morning for the specialties.
Cities such as Cahors and Figeac are fun to visit, as are the caves in Cougnac and Peche Merle. And furthermore Rocamadour, the city on a rock and place of pilgrimage, the crack in the earth near Padirac, the village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Souillac.
The house is a good base for exploring the Dordogne. The house is just on the edge, but it is less touristy in the summer. Don't forget the Ossip Zadkine museum in neighboring Les Arques (five kilometers). More beautiful than the museum in Paris and you can also follow the sculptor's daily walking routes.
