Description

Picture yourself stepping through wide glass doors onto a sun-warmed terrace in the Lot Valley, where your private pool reflects the endless blue sky of southwestern France. This is not just another property—this is your gateway to the truffle-rich countryside south of Cahors, where medieval villages dot rolling hills and every season brings new reasons to gather family and friends at your modern French vacation home. Built in 2012 with meticulous attention to contemporary design, this 287-square-meter architect-designed residence offers seven bedrooms across two living spaces, making it an exceptional choice for multi-generational holidays or generating rental income when you're back home. The moment you arrive at this property, you understand why the Lot region has become a sought-after destination for international second home buyers. Located just twenty minutes from Cahors—a city renowned for its Malbec wines and the magnificent Pont Valentré bridge—you're positioned perfectly between authentic French village life and easy access to modern amenities. The A20 motorway sits five minutes away, connecting you to Toulouse airport in ninety minutes and Bordeaux in two hours, making weekend escapes from London, Brussels, or Amsterdam entirely practical. Walk to local shops for your morning baguette and discover why this area draws visitors seeking the real France, far from overcrowded coastal resorts. The architecture immediately sets this vacation home apart from traditional stone farmhouses dominating the region. Your architect embraced light as the primary design element, installing expansive sliding glass panels that dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The open-plan living area spans 103 square meters, flowing seamlessly from a Corian-finished kitchen through dining and lounging zones to the outdoor terrace. Morning coffee becomes a ritual here—sunlight streams through south-facing windows while you plan the day's truffle market visit or afternoon swim. The kitchen was designed for serious cooking, essential in a region where food culture defines daily life. High-quality materials and thoughtful layout mean you can prepare elaborate dinners featuring local duck confit, Rocamadour cheese, and Cahors wine, all while remaining part of the conversation flowing through the living spaces. Underfloor gas heating throughout ensures year-round comfort during cooler months, while reversible air conditioning keeps spaces fresh during July and August when temperatures reach the high twenties. The main residence contains four generously proportioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a master suite that feels like a private retreat. Here you'll find an Italian-style shower and a fifteen-square-meter walk-in closet—practical luxuries that elevate everyday living. Additional bedrooms accommodate children, guests, or can serve as home offices for those who've discovered they can work remotely from their French vacation property. Dual entrances provide flexibility and accessibility, one designed specifically for people with reduced mobility, a thoughtful detail often overlooked in vacation home construction. For wine enthusiasts, the dedicated cellar offers proper storage for building your collection of local Cahors vintages and bottles discovered during visits to nearby appellations. The real magic happens outdoors, where 'terrace' becomes an understatement. This is your private resort—a landscaped patio leads to a swimming pool where summer afternoons dissolve into long evenings around the built-in barbecue area. The jacuzzi provides the perfect spot for stargazing after dinner, something genuinely spectacular in this low-light-pollution countryside. Your independent apartment—complete with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen—transforms this property's investment potential. When you're not using the main house, rent it to holidaymakers discovering the Lot Valley, while the apartment can generate additional income or house a property manager. Alternatively, accommodate extended family during summer gatherings while maintaining everyone's privacy and independence. Toulouse airport welcomes direct flights from across Europe, and the rental market here remains strong year-round, driven by tourists seeking authentic experiences in truffle country, cyclists tackling the region's scenic routes, and food lovers attending the famous Lalbenque truffle market, held every Tuesday afternoon from December through March. The double garage plus workshop space solves the practical storage needs every vacation home owner faces. Store bicycles, outdoor furniture during winter, or maintain that classic car you've always wanted but couldn't justify at your primary residence. The wastewater recovery system reflects forward-thinking design, reducing environmental impact and operational costs. Living in the Lot means embracing a rhythm shaped by seasons and harvests. Winter brings truffle season—locals call Lalbenque the truffle capital, where the Tuesday market draws dealers and chefs from across France. Spring explodes with wildflowers across meadows and vignerons opening their cellars for tastings. Summer means village festivals, night markets, and long lunches that stretch into dinner. Autumn harvest festivals celebrate wine, nuts, and mushrooms, while mild temperatures make it ideal for hiking the GR65 pilgrimage route or exploring Romanesque churches dotting the countryside. Cahors offers sophisticated urban amenities—excellent restaurants, cinema, swimming facilities, and the Saturday morning market that's been operating since medieval times. The historic center, pedestrian-friendly and largely traffic-free, provides everything from boutique shopping to riverside walks along the Lot. Medical facilities are modern and comprehensive, important for international owners establishing a genuine second residence. Day trips expand your options exponentially. Rocamadour's cliffside sanctuary sits forty minutes north, drawing pilgrims and tourists to its dramatic setting. The Dordogne Valley's prehistoric caves at Lascaux and Pech Merle offer glimpses into humanity's artistic origins. Albi's red-brick cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec museum lie ninety minutes west. For active holidays, the Lot River provides gentle canoeing routes, while the Causse limestone plateau challenges serious cyclists and offers world-class rock climbing. The regional real estate market has shown steady appreciation as international buyers recognize what locals have always known—this area delivers quality of life without the premium prices commanded by Provence or the Côte d'Azur. Properties combining modern construction, rental income potential, and proximity to transport links remain particularly sought-after. French property ownership by non-residents is straightforward, with many buyers establishing SCI structures (Société Civile Immobilière) for tax efficiency and succession planning. Local notaires guide the purchase process, while property management companies can handle rentals, maintenance, and winter property checks when you're away. Your move-in ready condition means you can start enjoying this vacation home immediately—no renovation delays, no construction surprises, just unpack and begin living your French countryside dream. The 2012 construction date positions you perfectly: new enough to offer modern systems and insulation standards, established enough that landscaping has matured and any initial settling issues have been resolved. Seven bedrooms provide genuine flexibility. Host wedding parties, celebrate milestone birthdays with everyone under one roof, or establish a family tradition where cousins grow up spending summers together in France. As children become teenagers and young adults, having space for everyone plus their friends transforms how families stay connected across generations.
