5 bed country house (sleeps 10). Magnificent views. Tennis court & heated pool

Sul Pech is a wonderfully comfortable five‑bedroom retreat set on a peaceful country lane at the edge of the hilltop village of Calvignac. With sweeping, uninterrupted views over the River Lot Valley, it captures the charm of the French countryside. Set within 2 acres of gardens and orchard, the property features a large heated private pool (12m x 6m) with an electric cover, a private tennis court, table tennis, and a selection of bikes and helmets for exploring the surrounding landscape. Panoramic views stretch across the valley to the neighbouring château—spectacular at sunset.
A short stroll (5 minutes) brings you to Calvignac’s summer bistro, with river views. The house is ideally placed for exploring the region, midway between Cahors and Figeac and close to charming villages such as Cajarc, Limogne‑en‑Quercy and the stunning St‑Cirq‑Lapopie. Nearby attractions include the Pech Merle caves and Gouffre de Padirac.
Located within France’s famous “black triangle”, Sul Pech also offers extraordinary night skies for stargazing.
Perfect for families or groups, the house offers living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms on each level, with access via both the ground and first floors. The first‑floor veranda is ideal for summer dinners overlooking the limestone cliffs and golden sunsets; the garden‑level terrace seats 10 for meals with wide valley views.
An aromatic path of lavender, rosemary, sage and thyme leads you to the pool terrace, complete with loungers, parasols and space to relax.
For lovers of the outdoors, the house sits just 500m from the River Lot—perfect for canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing or wild swimming. Walking and cycling routes abound, including the famous GR65 Camino route, and the developing Voie Verte cycle path running through the Lot Valley.
