Les Arques, Midi-Pyrénées 46250

Nestled in a preserved natural environment in the heart of the Quercy region, this character property perfectly reflects the spirit and authenticity of the historic homes of Southwest France. Steeped in centuries of history, the estate dates back to between the 14th and 16th centuries and notably features an ancient tower, a character-filled longhouse, and remarkably preserved architectural elements. Carefully restored in 2011 and 2017, the property now offers a particularly accomplished living environment where architectural authenticity and contemporary comfort coexist in rare harmony. The various restoration phases were meticulously documented and archived by the current owners. The estate comprises a main house of approximately 267 sqm, complemented by a charming independent guest house of approximately 72 sqm, as well as a substantial barn offering numerous development possibilities. A vaulted cellar completes the ensemble. The current layout offers four bedrooms, together with a study that could easily serve as an additional bedroom, creating a comfortable and adaptable living environment equally suited to a family residence or a refined hospitality project. Technical amenities are perfectly in keeping with the quality of the property: underfloor heating powered by geothermal energy with both horizontal and vertical capture systems, delivering particularly efficient heating performance, several reversible air-conditioning units, ultra-high-speed fibre-optic internet (up to 1,000 Mb/s), and modern equipment discreetly integrated within the historic architecture. Two compliant independent sanitation systems complete the property. The carefully landscaped outdoor areas create a rare and peaceful atmosphere: a heated swimming pool with stone terraces, a discreet spa set on its own independent terrace, shaded areas, landscaped gardens with integrated irrigation, and the surrounding natural environment combine to create a setting entirely dedicated to relaxation and tranquillity. The property also benefits from an electric gate, remote video surveillance, and several parking areas. Set within approximately 3 hectares of land, the estate enjoys the rolling landscapes characteristic of the region, in an area highly sought after for its authenticity and quality of life. Equally suited as an elegant private residence or as a high-end hospitality project, this property offers a preserved and confidential setting, perfectly suited to both refined living and quality guest accommodation.
