Discover the charm of rural French living with this delightful 2-bedroom house for sale in Ginouillac, located in the picturesque Midi-Pyrénées region of Lot, France. Priced at just 248,000 euros, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of French countryside, perfect for those looking to start a small agricultural or artisan business.
As you approach the property, the first thing you'll notice is the expansive land it sits on — almost 1.8 hectares. This former working farm includes a charming stone farmhouse, a two-storey stone barn, and other farm buildings. The property also comes with a substantial amount of additional land comprising 30,050m² of woodland and pastureland. There’s even 250 m3 of firewood that can be recuperated from the woodland, perfect for winters.
Step inside the farmhouse, and you’ll find two cozy bedrooms and a bathroom. The house does require some modernization and updating, but it comes with secondary glazing and oil central heating to keep you warm through the chilly months. There’s so much potential here, especially with the attic, which spans 65m² and is suitable for conversion (subject to necessary permissions). You’ll also find a useable cellar and access to a second underground cellar, which would be perfect for storing preserves or even making your own wine.
The house has the added advantage of being built on a rainwater harvesting tank of about 30m3. This feature is invaluable during dry periods and ensures you have access to fresh water year-round. Attached to the house is a garage where the boiler and hot water tank are located, making it very convenient.
Outside, the main courtyard boasts some impressive farm buildings, including a lovely stone barn with a small open hangar, a large metal hangar of 330m², and a former cow byre stable of 205m². These structures offer endless possibilities, whether you’re looking to expand your agricultural operations or convert them into different uses entirely.
On the other side of the house, a beautiful two-storey stone barn awaits, complete with a well that has a vaulted stone roof. Formerly used as piggery and veal calf barns, this structure is also suitable for conversion into a gite or additional accommodation, given the necessary permissions. Imagine the extra income potential from holiday rentals in this gorgeous region.
