A Storybook French Estate With Guesthouses and an Event Barn in Southwest France
Set within nearly 5.8 hectares (14.3 acres) of meadows and woodland in the countryside near Figeac, this historic estate in southwestern France’s Occitanie region combines a renovated manor house with multiple stone outbuildings arranged across landscaped parkland. Currently configured as a gîte and events property, the estate includes several independent buildings, guest accommodation, and a dedicated reception barn within a quiet rural setting. The estate is listed for €1,150,000 with Art & Maisons Figeac.
The property centers on a bourgeois-style manor house that has been renovated while retaining many of its original character features. Natural light enters from multiple sides, and views from the central hallway extend across the grounds toward a restored barn and surrounding gardens. On the ground floor, the layout includes a galley kitchen, a large kitchen and dining room with a traditional fireplace, two salons, a formal dining room, and a library concealed behind the staircase.
Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms and three shower rooms. The top level contains a dramatic attic spanning approximately 150 m² (1,615 ft²) with a ceiling height of nearly nine meters, offering potential for further conversion subject to the necessary approvals.
Beyond the main residence, the estate functions as a small countryside domain with several additional buildings. A renovated guest house, known as the Stables gîte, includes an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a shower room upstairs, creating a fully independent space for visitors or short-term rentals.
One of the property’s most distinctive structures is a large rustic events barn designed for hosting gatherings, weddings, or retreats. Inside, parquet floors, exposed beams, and stone walls create a traditional reception space, while an adjoining professional kitchen allows the venue to accommodate catered events. A guest bedroom on the upper level provides additional accommodation.
A smaller independent cottage nearby includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom with its own terrace, offering a simple guest retreat within the grounds.
The landscaped parkland surrounding the buildings includes a secluded swimming pool positioned within its own section of the garden. Traditional regional features are also present, including a two-storey pigeonnier tower used for utility and storage space. Another stone tower houses a deep well that connects to an underground stream running beneath the estate — an unusual geological feature that adds to the property’s storybook character.
The estate lies near Figeac in southwestern France’s Occitanie region, within the Lot Valley — an area known for its medieval towns, historic villages, and preserved countryside. Figeac itself is recognized for its remarkably intact historic center of stone merchant houses and arcaded streets dating back to the Middle Ages.
In total, the estate offers approximately 648 m² (6,975 ft²) of living space across multiple buildings set within 5.8 hectares (14.3 acres) of land. With its combination of guesthouses, event facilities, and parkland landscape, the property is currently suited to use as a countryside hospitality venue, though it could also serve as a private family domain.
