A Timeless Country Retreat with an Existing Business in the Heart of Aveyron
Discover a rare and captivating opportunity to embrace more than just a home—this is the beginning of a new lifestyle. Nestled among the rolling hills of West Aveyron, only 7km from the historic bastide town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, this exceptional estate blends timeless rustic charm with an income-generating business. Situated on the edge of the famed Tarn wine region and the Lot Natural Park, this property provides a serene, postcard-worthy retreat—while also serving as the heart of a thriving agritourism enterprise.
Currently run as an industry-recognised Alpaca farm, the property is sold as a fully operational and established business benefiting from a respected and well known name in the industry. Whether the new owners will want to continue the current activities (including farm tours, afternoon teas, events, animal therapy experiences) or expand, the opportunity is both secure and scalable.
Included at the centre of the estate, is a beautifully restored 17th-century, 5-bedroom stone country house (currently offering Bed and Breakfast accommodation) and a charming boutique located in the original bread kitchen.
Spanning 3 hectares of scenic countryside, the property features a tranquil private lake, a thriving orchard, a beautifully heated swimming pool for year-round relaxation, a hot tub and a spacious 500m² barn.
The property is sold including all materials and machinery relating to the business. For those wishing to continue the existing operations, the current owners are offering a three-week handover period to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. The herd of Alpacas (and any other livestock) and any current stock are not included in the sale but could be purchased from the owners as part of a separate negotiation.
Whether you’re dreaming of a tranquil lifestyle change, a creative business adventure or a mix of both, this property delivers.
Your new life in rural France awaits. Enquire today - this is a rare, turn-key opportunity.

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
