This attractive house, typically Périgordian with its slanted slate roof and thick stone walls in a 1.5-hectare (3.7-acre) setting of lush greenery, was constructed in the early 19th century near the classified monument Bastide de Pujols, in the environs of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, a city rich in history and culture on the banks of the Lot River. With its pool, guest house, modernized systems and a total of six bedrooms, it offers a variety of uses - as a principal residence, vacation home or investment property for rentals. The house has been tastefully renovated and is ready for immediate occupancy without any work other than cosmetic changes.
The main house has 280 m2 (3,013 sq. ft.) of living space on two levels. Public rooms on the ground level are a living room and family room, separate dining room and equipped kitchen. The ceilings are beamed and the floors terra cotta tile, and many walls are exposed stone. Flanking the public rooms is a long covered terrace.
Also on the ground floor is the master bedroom and its ensuite dressing area and bathroom. On the upper level, reached via a 35 m2 (375 sq. ft.) mezzanine, are an additional three bedrooms and two baths.
The handsomely renovated 100 m2 (1,076 sq. ft.) guest house, close to the main house, has two bedrooms and one bath. Both structures have oil central heat with radiators.
A 6 m X 12 m (19.5' X 39') pool is tastefully integrated into the landscaped grounds, which are planted with century-old shade trees and fruit orchards. Gravel paths wind through extensive lawns. The pool house has a shower, sauna, Jacuzzi and a covered terrace.
Other features of this charming property are the outdoor lighting system, security system, a private gated entrance and, in the main house, a wine cellar with exposed stone walls. There is also a magnificent (160 m2, 1,720 sq. ft.) 19th-century barn that could be renovated into living quarters.
Pujols, 4 km from Villeneuve-sur-Lot, is in the département of Lot-et-Garonne mid-way between two important international airports, Bordeaux (150 km to the east) and Toulouse (143 km to the southwest). Both Pujols and Villeneuve-sur-Lot have many shops and restaurants, and there is a major shopping center at Villeneuve. For golfers there are good 18-hole courses at Villeneuve and at Agen (29 km).
