Description
Selection Habitat is delighted to exclusively present this large character property situated only 10 minutes from the center of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, in a neighboring commune. It enjoys a rural setting, surrounded by 2 hectares of land.
The house offers 300 m² of living space with 12 rooms, including 6 bedrooms, two separate living rooms, and a very large kitchen/dining area. Equally impressive are the outbuildings, which together offer over 500 m² of space, including an attached barn, a large hangar/stable block incorporating 4 boxes with automatic drinkers, a feed room, and a separate tack room. There is also a second hangar/indoor arena with direct access to the surrounding fields. The property further boasts a floodlit, sand-based arena of 1,250 m² for jumping and training.
A perfect facility for someone wishing to keep horses in close proximity.
The house comprises:
Ground Floor:
A large salon/snug with a separate bar area (31 m²) and a large cloakroom leads into the main lounge (29 m²).
The impressive main lounge, with pellet burner and dual-aspect windows providing plenty of natural light, displays exposed oak beams interspersed with spotlights to give a contemporary feel. Original marble tiled floor.
The kitchen/dining area (33 m²), equipped with a central island, offers views over open countryside and the main terrace, which can be accessed via double glass doors. To the rear of the kitchen, within the extension, a large utility room with shower and laundry area provides access to the boiler room, which provides oil-based central heating to the original house and underfloor heating in the extension. To the rear, a large veranda, currently used as a secure area for dogs, has a dog flap providing easy access outside.

Original oak stairs from the lounge lead up to a large landing/corridor opening onto four spacious bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room and toilet.
