4 bedroom single storey house with outbuildings and barns, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location in Labastide Murat.
This superb property is ready to move in to. Sitting quietly in the Lotois countryside between Gourdon and Cahors, close to villages and amenities.
Without immediate neighbours, the house offers four comfortable bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, spacious living and dining room, large laundry/utility rooms, a bathroom and extensive storage areas. The large south facing terrace looks out across well planted gardens to the countryside beyond.
Outside, the property offers two large workshops totalling approximately 150m2 and a large fenced dog pen. Approximately 200 metres from the house are two large stone barns, two hangars, a cistern for water collection, and set slightly apart, a former pig sty of approximately 50m2.
The stone barns of 149 m2 and 203 m2, both currently have outline permission for change of use. They would be very suitable for converting to additional accommodation or creating stabling etc. Water and electricity are already in place and the buildings have vehicular access and excellent views across open fields. Appropriate permissions would be required for any redevelopment.
The property is immediately available and could be lived in comfortably as is, but value could be added to the house with some cosmetic upgrades.
It is well located in an active rural community with good access to local villages and market towns. The regional centre of Cahors is less than
30 minutes drive away, the towns of Gourdon and Souillac - both with weekly markets, shops and train stations - are close by and the airports of Limoges and Toulouse are easily reached in under 2 hours.
With so much obvious development potential as an tourist business, equestrian centre, farm, organic business etc this rural treasure is bound to attract attention.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
