About this property

Beautiful old farmhouse with stunning views, pool and tennis court.

Set in private grounds of almost 4 acres, the living and play areas to the rear of the house enjoy glorious, elevated, south facing views over fields and woods with occasional glimpses of the Pyrenees. The farmhouse is comfortable, well equipped and spacious. There is double glazing and gas fired central heating. The kitchen has a gas hob and an electric oven. A secure, private graveled driveway leads to a spacious parking area. An old stone staircase leads up to a covered dining terrace and front door.

There are extensive lawns and shaded areas around the house. The large swimming pool has stone paving, is partially fenced, has Roman steps and is bathed in sunshine throughout the day.

On the property there is on old stone bread oven with a mill house and a covered well.

The Aveyron is minutes away, down the hill and is ideal for canooing or kayaaking and fishing. The mediaeval village of Varen is on the river nearby and is 15 minutes upstream from ancient market town St Antonin Noble Val. Verfeil and Najac are close by and the Historic bastide town of Cordes sur Ciel is 20 minutes south.

Lovely property in an excellent rural location
Well equipped spacious property. Plenty of outdoor shaded space with pool in sunshine. Lots of pretty villages to visit in the area. Children especially enjoyed pool, canoeing in Averyon and playing in river and on inflatables at Laguepie.

Idyllic, peaceful week
We spent a lovely week at this property - parents, grandparents and children. Great pool and outside areas, always somewhere to find shade. The table tennis table was a hit, as was the immaculate tennis court. There are some steepish roads up to the village but if you are used to driving in the area this is not a problem; once you have done it once it is fine. A really traditional French farmhouse with so much character. Excellent communication from the owner and very good Covid measures in place regarding clean sheets and towels etc. Would definitely return.

Farmhouse stay in the middle of beautiful countryside
We had a lovely stay in this spacious property, we especially enjoyed eating out under the trees. It was well equipped with table tennis table, tennis court, hammock and the swimming pool and for a wet day, free sat and DVDs for entertaining children.

Rural Treat
We all had a lovely time at this beautiful property. The house is very rural which suited us perfectly. Nearby Narjac is well worth a visit and an early morning visit (before the crowds arrive) is highly recommended. Eric was very swift with his communications and I would recommend staying at this property if a rural recharge is what you’re after. The Parsons.

Varen Farm House
The owners were very responsive and helpful. The rental did not meet up with our expectations but that might have been due to our not checking the listing carefully enough. I would say the rental is best suited for families. The pool was a life saver due to the high heat when we were there.

A quiet haven in rural France
We spent close to two lovely weeks at this picturesque property. It is nestled at the end of a quiet village with spectacular walks leading off in every direction. The location allows for easy access to local highlights like Najac, Cordes, St. Antonin but best of all was the natural surroundings that made us equally happy to stay put. The house has lovely bedrooms, a kitchen with everything you need as well as two sitting rooms. My favourite was the variety of outdoor spaces - a picnic table, a dining area overlooking the pool, a hammock perfect for reading, the ping pong table under a shady tree, a perfect pool to escape the heat and fields to explore as well as the village. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming. They provided lots of information about both the house and the locale. We could easily have spent another happy month in this lovely home and hope to return to do so!

Une sensation de plénitude absolue
Un endroit magnifique, de l'espace, de la nature, de la belle pierre avec ces petits villages aux alentours. Tout d'abord, l'annonce est tout à fait conforme et la réalité au delà. Nous nous sommes tellement bien sentis dans cette vaste ferme transformée en paradis, et dans cette région magnifique, que nous avons eu du mal à la quitter après 15 jours. Merci à Kate et Eric de nous avoir permis ces fabuleuses vacances avec nos enfants qui se sont éclatés à la piscine et au tennis. Dominique

Super Lage
Schönes Aussengelände, super Lage, toller Tennisplatz. 2 Liegen zu wenig und zu wenig Schattenplätze mit der tollen Aussicht. Außenbeleuchtung für Abends zu wenig.
