Vrijstaande woning in Midi-Pyrénées, Frankrijk

This magnificent farmhouse has been renovated while retaining its original character. Situated in a small hamlet, the property is quiet and not overlooked. The farmhouse is built around a large secluded courtyard leading to a large stone house with 430 m² of living space. A very large barn faces it, with a smaller barn further on. On the other side, the south-facing facade offers sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. The heated, electronically maintained, salt water swimming pool is a little further away. The land measures 1.2 hectares. The house comprises spacious and pleasant rooms, five bedrooms, a large kitchen/dining room, two large lounges, a games room, 3 showers, 1 bath and 5 toilets. From the courtyard, a few steps lead up to the vast kitchen, a central, light-filled room. This kitchen has a continuation of the old kitchen (souillarde) and a pantry. To the right, a corridor leads to a storeroom, a toilet and an en suite bedroom. On the left is a cosy lounge, followed by a more formal reception room. Both have wood-burning stoves. Then a corridor leads to a bedroom. At the end of the corridor, a staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a toilet, three bedrooms (one of which is over 40 m²), a room used as a linen cupboard, a spacious bathroom (22 m²) and a large room where another staircase leads back to the kitchen. Central heating is provided by a gas-fired boiler and wood-burning stoves. There are cellars under the entire building. The current owners have carried out a number of renovations: roof renovation, creation of a pool house, revision of the swimming pool, creation/renovation of a bedroom, change of windows, installation of external doors including the very beautiful barn door, etc… This property is very spacious. In addition to the more than 400 m² of living space, there are 600 m² of outbuildings and cellars for storage and DIY purposes, as well as the possibility of developing an existing gîte business. It could also be used for seminars or yoga courses, or simply to accommodate a large family. The property is located near the village of La Salvetat-Peyralès, with all amenities, and 10 minutes from Rieupeyroux, with its supermarkets and colleges. Rodez airport is 45 minutes away, Toulouse 1 hour 45 minutes.
