Villa for sale in Saint-Céré, Lot, Occitanie

Rumoured to have a private tunnel up to the chateau of Saint-Laurent-les-Tours, this former farmhouse offers a unique lifestyle opportunity. Set within just over 4.5 acres of grounds, the house is accessed via a long private driveway winding up the hillside and opening on a parking area set below the imposing stone house and its own dilapidated tower – one of several located on this historic site formerly owned by the Viscounts of Turenne. The views from the house and gardens are magnificent with a large deck area taking full advantage of these. Below, Saint Céré unfolds before you surrounded by the heavily forested volcanic hills so typical of the part of the northern Lot.

From the parking area, stone steps lead up to the main entrance door which opens directly onto:
