Living like a god in Figeac - tileworks on beautiful estate

In the Lot department, ten minutes from medieval merchant town of Figeac, at the crossroads of important pilgrimage routes (Camino, Chemin du Puy ...). Champollion Museum in honour of the eponymous Egyptologist (of Rosetta's stone). Also nice: Cahors, old town with caves and the impressive limestone plateaux of Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy, protected UNESCO Géoparc.  

From the long driveway, you discern in the distance, on the hill, the house surrounded by oaks. This used to be a tuilerie, where roof tiles were made by hand, formed on the knee and dried. The original construction with stacked stones was beautifully preserved. When renovating ('12-'13), the current owners were inspired by John Pawson's minimalist architecture: back to basics, according to modern ecological requirements. This pared-down elegance, where wood and stone predominate, feels very natural and beneficial - a treat for the eye as well as the soul. Less is obviously more here.

Imagine gourmet enjoyment with ultra-fresh, home-grown fruit and vegetables in this kitchen that feels both ancient and modern at the same time. Also on the ground floor: two spacious bedrooms, toilet and bathroom (shower, washbasin). Laundry and storage room. Garage with space for one car - or will you turn it into a workshop? Stairs to the relaxation area under the beautiful roof. Garden with vegetable garden, fruit trees, powerful panoramic views and lovely terrace under the grapevine/wisteria.
