Surrounded by rolling countryside, wildlife, and birdsong, the 7 bedroom property has been sympathetically renovated offering comfortable living in a beautiful setting.
The main house opens into a generous living and dining room with an open-plan kitchen. Character features abound, from the original stone fireplace with wood burner to a traditional bread oven and even an authentic well.
A luxurious bathroom with clawfoot bath completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and a family shower room provide peaceful accommodation, while stairs lead down to a large games room with its own fireplace and wood burner, alongside a utility room.
Attached to the farmhouse, the converted barn holds two additional homes. The first offers a grand living room and dining room with beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace, together with a fully equipped kitchen. French windows open to a balcony with sweeping views over the garden and valley beyond.
Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.
Through an interconnecting door lies the second house, echoing the same generous layout, with its own open living area and two bedrooms served by a family bathroom.
Throughout, exposed beams and dormer windows create warmth and character.
The grounds are equally enchanting, a true secret valley reminiscent of a landscape from the Shire. Set in over 2 acres, with lawns, orchards, oak and walnut trees, and a woodland embracing the property, creating a private world of greenery and timeless calm.
At its heart lies a large swimming pool, bordered by flowering hibiscus and shaded by a wisteria-clad pergola, a setting as idyllic as it is inviting.
For nature lovers, the magic continues: more than ninety species of birds have been recorded from the balcony alone.
Despite the sense of seclusion, the property remains close to everything you need. The village of Lunac is just a 15 minute walk away.
Shops and services can be found in La Fouillade only 10 minutes by car, and the historic town of Najac-with its castle, medieval streets, restaurants, and cafes-is a short 15 minute drive.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
