About this property

Au Bord de la Rivière, Charming gîte with private

Our charming 2 bedroom cottage is attached on the west side of our main house (the former Octroi de Saint Geniez d'Olt -the official tax building constructed in 1830). We have designed the interior of our cottage with great care in order to give our guests a feeling of both charm and comfort. Our furniture design in the gite is high quality designed modern pieces, juxtaposed with beautifully crafted antiques.. A hand-painted mural on the wall of the mezzanine bedroom gives a theatrical ambiance. A beautiful antique red velvet bed in the main bedroom. A cosy wood-burning fireplace in the living area, to add warmth in the winter. Just outside of RiverRun is a charming pedestrian walk along the riverbank that takes you to the village center in just a few minutes. It's an ideal all-season retreat.

Why they chose this property

Since he was a young man, my husband had always dreamed of moving to Aveyron, and when we travelled through the region of Aveyron on our honeymoon- it became a joint desire. We fell in love with this town in 2007 and have been calling it our home ever since, even if we have lived in other countries since then. St. Geniez d'Olt has always been our base, and our dream...and now we live here permanently.

What makes this property unique

We love the character of this property. It was built in 1830, and is made of stone and solid wood beams. It has a history, and we love houses with character and charm. The location of this property is ideal, as it lies right on the edge of the river. It is a short, and charming walk to town. Close enough to enjoy all the offerings, but far enough to retain the peace and quiet. Life on the river is so calming, and so enjoyable...the nature, the life of the village and the surrounding forest walks makes it ideal to us in every way possible.
