Description

Located in the commune of Les Arques, this character property offers a complex with spacious interiors and multiple layout possibilities.

The main residence offers approximately 172.54 m² of living space, featuring lovely living areas and four bedrooms.

Adjoining the main house is an apartment of approximately 76 m², comprising three bedrooms, a living/dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet. This apartment has its own independent entrance and a separate address, allowing for completely autonomous use, whether for hosting family and friends or generating rental income.

The two units are also connected internally, offering the option to maintain two separate spaces or easily combine them into a single family home with approximately 260 m² of living space and seven bedrooms.

This historic home charms with its authenticity and character; stone walls, exposed beams, quality period materials, and spacious rooms all testify to its robust, traditional construction. Lovers of fine old buildings will appreciate the exceptional potential of this property.

The property also includes three garages, the largest of which connects directly to the main house, offering ample space for parking, storage, or conversion.

Opposite the garages lies a separate 274 m² garden equipped with a shed, a barbecue, and water and electricity connections, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Renovations regarding energy efficiency, electrical systems, and general modernization are recommended to improve the property's performance and bring it up to current standards. However, it is worth noting that the property is habitable and functional in its current state, boasting a sound and solid structure. The work focuses primarily on improving comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics, leaving future owners the opportunity to personalize the space to their liking while preserving its period charm.

The department of Lot is a land of beautiful landscapes and dramatic gorges, slow moving rivers, beautiful villages such as Puy-l’Eveque and Rocamadour, and the vineyards of Cahors - other highlights included the Upper Dordogne Valley and the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park. Largely unspoiled by the passage of time, the Lot department of France is a delight to discover and explore.

The Lot & Quercy region in the South of France covers three French departments (Lot, Lot et Garonne, Tarn et Garonne) and is what remains of the ancient province of Quercy, to the south-east of the Périgord (Dordogne).

Situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse the area experiences hot dry summers and cold dry winters. The region has a micro climate that is drier and warmer than the regions to the north (Dordogne, Limousin), and is characterised by warm late Autumn months.

The Lot department is proud of its fine, local produce - from the truffles, to confit of duck & goose, to dark Cahor wines and the goat’s cheese of Rocamadour - you won’t be disappointed.

Three rivers flow through this department, the Dordogne to the north, the Cele in the centre and the Lot to the south. The first two rivers are generally given over to kayaking and canoeing. Boat trips are more popular on the Lot and provide an enjoyable way to see the villages and vineyards that drop down into the river.

Worth visiting are the medieval centres of Cahors & Figeac and the 25,000-year-old prehistoric caves (Grotte de Pech-Merle) near Cabrerets.
