Elegant 17th-Century Estate with Panoramic Views and Income Potential — Aveyron, Occitanie

3 hectares with a lake, orchard and heated pool5 bedrooms and 4 bathroomsPeace and quiet assuredCurrently run as a bed and breakfast
Commanding a dominant position amid the rolling hills of the Aveyron countryside, just 7km from the historic bastide town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, this exquisite 17th-century residence presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of French heritage — offering serenity and style. New owners can choose to continue with the existing bed and breakfast activity or to enjoy the spacious house for family and friends.

Set within 3 hectares of idyllic farmland, the property enjoys absolute privacy with no immediate neighbours, creating an enchanting rural retreat. Lovingly restored, the main house offers 190m² of character-filled living space, featuring five generous double bedrooms and four bathrooms. At its heart lies a traditional country dining room and a luminous living area, complete with a log-burning stove for cosy winter evenings. A sleek, modern kitchen blends seamlessly with the home’s historic charm, while oak-framed, double-glazed windows showcase uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills.

Outdoors, the estate is a haven for nature lovers: stroll through landscaped gardens, pick fruit from your private orchard or unwind beside the tranquil private lake. A salt water heated swimming pool and hot tub complete this picture of laid-back luxury.

Complementing the main house are a range of superb outbuildings: a vast 500m² stone barn in excellent condition, a charming 25m² stone bread oven (currently used as a commercial space) and a versatile 75m² hangar. Additional attic (190m2) and cellar space (190m2) offer exciting potential for further development, whether for extended living, hospitality or creative ventures.

Furniture in the house is available for negotiation and there is also the exciting possibility to acquire the existing agritourisme business (see separate property ref BVI0080856) — ideal for those seeking a turnkey lifestyle investment in the south of France.

Combining peace, privacy, and authentic charm with modern comforts and commercial opportunity, this unique estate is perfectly suited to families, lifestyle seekers or entrepreneurs looking to make their French dream a reality.

Discuss an Offer

Discuss an Offer

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.

Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.

Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.

To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
