AMBEYRAC, Midi-Pyrénées 12260

Overlooking the Lot valley, this magnificent medieval castle of Camboulan dating from the thirteenth century, classified as a historical monument in 1995, is located on the Aveyron side in the town of Ambeyrac, 15 minutes from Cajarc and Figeac. It will charm you with its architecture, its beautiful services and the quality of its restoration. Levelled during the French Revolution, a sumptuous rebuilt tower serves - by a majestic stone spiral staircase - the 3 floors including the machicolations (which can be fitted out on 120 m2). This imposing building consists of a part, until now used as a bed and breakfast, offering 5 large bedrooms each with its own bathroom and toilet, and a large living room with its Versailles parquet floor. On the garden level, you will find a large living room with a superb stone floor of 54m2, a bright kitchen of 37m2 -giving access to the gardens- with its original fireplace, a boiler room, a toilet, a vestibule of about 25m2 leading to a living area of 31m2, an office of 9m2 and a mezzanine of 10m2. The framework, roof, carpentry, flooring, heating and electricity were completely redone in 1995. This castle, with a living area of 370m2, offers however a potential for extension and customization through the annexes: an old stable of 110m2 on 2 levels with chestnut parquet flooring and an adjoining barn of approx 90 m2. All in impeccable structural condition. On the 2870m2 of land there is also a 9m x 5m swimming pool and a lean-to of approx. 60m2 perfectly suited to park 3 vehicles. The property has regained all the majesty of a stone castle perched on the heights, strolling through its lair offers the exceptional sensation of a hushed but contemporary medieval atmosphere.
