Character stone farmhouse with separate barn (own address) on 6,600 m² in a peaceful hamlet near Catus. Energy-efficient home (A/A), large convertible barn ideal for gîtes or business, beautiful views, vegetable garden, water cistern, and outbuildings. Only 20 min from Cahors and 15 min from the A20 motorway.

Set in the heart of a picturesque village steeped in history, with the beautiful Saint-Hilaire church, traditional fountain and wash house, this wonderfully maintained stone property combines the authenticity and charm of traditional Quercy architecture with modern comfort.

THE MAIN HOUSE
South-facing and offering approximately 81 m² of living space, the house is arranged around an open-plan kitchen and living area, with three bedrooms. The layout is particularly flexible, with no structural dividing walls, offering plenty of scope for future adaptation.
One of the property's outstanding features is its exceptional energy performance: DPE A / GES A, with remarkably low energy consumption — a rare achievement for a traditional stone property in the Lot.
The house benefits from:
Air-to-water heat pump
Combined solar heating system
Steel radiators
Original stone fireplace flue
Excellent insulation, including 30 cm of blown glass wool insulation to the ceilings of both the cellar and attic.

The property also offers a particularly generous 81 m² cellar, in excellent condition and with a ceiling height of approximately 2.60 m, together with an accessible attic of approximately 81 m².

Outside, a spacious 30 m² travertine terrace (approximately 17 m x 1.80 m, with 6.80 m covered) provides a lovely south-facing outdoor space.
There is also an underground 13,000-litre rainwater tank beneath the terrace, collecting water from the gutters of both the house and barn. A petrol-powered pump provides water for garden irrigation.

THE GROUNDS
The property is surrounded by approximately 6,640 m² of land, including:
A mature fruit orchard
A fully enclosed and partly wooded 300 m² poultry area with small shelters

OUTBUILDINGS & POTENTIAL
A 88 m² stone outbuilding, just 5 metres from the house, offers excellent potential as a workshop, garage or craft space. The roof and roof structure require renovation.
A further 140 m² stone barn, approximately 20 metres from the house and with its own street number, is particularly interesting. It has an excellent traditional roof structure, pre-installed service conduits and a south-facing aspect.
Its generous volume and independent access offer exciting possibilities for a gîte, second dwelling, studio, exhibition space or professional activity, subject of course to the necessary planning permissions.
