Traditional farmhouse, detatched in its own 4 1/2 acres with amazing views

The Lot is 1000's of acres of ancient oak woodland on three enormous limestone plateaux, or "causses". These are full of a breathtaking range of plants, especially orchids, and teeming with wildlife, such as the "Sanglier", (Wild Boar). There are footpaths everywhere. We are 20 minutes from the second and third most famous sites outside of Paris: Rocamadour and the Gouffre of Padirac.
