Lauzerte
Beautiful heritage property located in the heart of the village of Lauzerte, a medieval city renowned as one of the most beautiful villages in France in the Blanc Quercy region. This stunning medieval dwelling, with a total area of 280 square meters, sits on a large cellar and has been fully restored respecting the original architecture and materials (Blanc Quercy stone). The ground floor features an entrance leading to the kitchen, dining room and living room, along with two additional rooms for storage and access to the garage. A large functional fireplace adds to the charm of the space. The first floor boasts a spacious living area, a master suite with a bathroom including a bathtub and separate shower, a toilet, and a large walk-in closet. The second and top floor under the roof offers a large bedroom, a living room/office space for hosting family and friends, a shower room, and toilet. Renovated to be bright and cleverly restored, the stone niches have been utilized for charming lit spaces currently used for decoration or as a library, creating a very pleasant and soft atmosphere. The house features double-glazed windows, Wi-Fi, a harmonious restoration blending the old with the modern, underfloor heating with a heat pump, and the option for wood energy for those who love wood fires. With a large garage of 35 square meters, exceptional views of the village of Lauzerte, cathedral roof, skylights, and three levels with grand open volumes accessible via stairs, this property truly stands out. For history enthusiasts, the richness of the local heritage echoes the charm of Lauzerte, with landmarks such as pigeon houses, mills, isolated chapels, and lavish farms adding to the character of the area. The upper town, a fine example of medieval architecture, surrounds the St. Barthélemy church and the Cornières square, one of the most beautiful in the region. The ramparts reminisce the role played by Lauzerte during the Hundred Years' War, torn between the English and the French. The old residences, in Gothic or Renaissance style, harken back to a time when the city was a haven for wealthy magistrates and prosperous merchants who jealously guarded their quality of life. Lauzerte continues this legacy today, much to the delight of its visitors. The property price of 340,743 may seem high at first glance, but considering the exceptional location, meticulous restoration, spacious interiors, and historical significance of the area, it presents a great investment opportunity for those seeking a unique and charming home with a rich cultural heritage.
