Property Description

PBI Collection — 'Poetics of Permanence'


Situated in the Haute-Garonne department, on the Occitan plain, Roquettes captivates with the preserved beauty of its landscapes.


Nestled where tree-lined riverbanks meet the outskirts of Toulouse, this village offers a setting perfectly suited to modern needs, while remaining true to its foundational roots.


ROOTED IN HISTORY
Before becoming a family home, this property was a 17th-century métairie (tenant farm) linked to the monastic past of Roquettes.
Since the late 15th century, the village had cultivated woad—an iconic dye plant of the Lauragais and 'Pays de Cocagne' regions.
The property stands as a testament to this precious heritage.


HARMONY WITH THE LANDSCAPE
A wooded park of over 3,000 m², designed as a natural extension of the house, balances open vistas with areas of deep shade.


Heir to the site's monastic past, the vegetable garden maintains a centuries-old connection to working the land.


GEOMETRY OF SPACE
This traditional building offers nearly 360 m² of living space, arranged in expansive volumes.


The imprint of the past is evident in the preservation of period features. Toulouse brick, stone, and terracotta floor tiles affirm the property's historical lineage.


THE ART OF ENTERTAINING
The ground floor, dedicated to reception areas, spans the entire length of the former farmhouse, featuring a living and dining area of ??62 m².
Adjoining this space is a kitchen measuring over 20 m².


Large windows facing the park frame the landscape.


To anyone seeking to capture its charm, the hosts share this line by Baudelaire:
'There, all is order and beauty, / Luxury, peace, and pleasure.' »
The allusion to L'Invitation au voyage transcends mere literary reference, embodying an ethos of everyday living.


THE SHELL OF DREAMS
The upper floor comprises three bedrooms, including a suite.
Available space allows for the potential creation of three additional bedrooms.


THE PROPERTY’S LANDSCAPE
At the heart of the grounds, the vegetation softens the starkness of the local brickwork.


Flanking the central area, the two original dovecotes frame a ten-meter pool its surface reflects the Venetian-red patina of the surrounding wall.
