Property Description
Located one hour from Toulouse, 10 mins from services and 20 mins from Saint Gaudens is this charming and classic property comprising a superbly renovated Manor House with a farmhouse on 5 hectares of attached land. You will discover 5 bedrooms and their respective bathrooms, two spacious sitting rooms, a kitchen with traditional fireplace, lots of storage space, the farm with it's stables, barn and agricultural hangars and two courtyards, all constructed using stone. The orchard and pastures are attached, bordered by a stream and include a small lake and a spring.
You will adore the charm of this property offering 360m² of living space, perfectly renovated to preserve it's authenticity, with its agricultural buildings, providing lots of potential, nicely centred around the two farmyards.
The 32m² grand entrance hall traverses the entire length of the main house and leads to a large grassy courtyard. The hall serves the 47m² dining room and 23m² kitchen with rear 10m² larder, complete with grand fireplace in full working order promising grand roasts and heating a good part of the ground floor of the house.
The hall also leads to an earthen wine cellar of 14m², a storage basement measuring 47m² and a 4m² toilet.
The upstairs is served by a wide, varnished staircase (as is the wooden flooring) leading up to a 27m² landing which serves a splendid, 24m² bedroom with 9m² shower which overlooks the courtyard and prairie. Further on are a 26m² sitting room and 20m² bedroom (currently used as a study) with 9m² shower, all overlooking the farm's wide main courtyard.
The loft has been transformed to a second floor with apparent roof beams and is comprised of a 6m² landing, 25m² bedroom with 7m² shower and private, 3m² terrace at tree-top level. A second, identical section on the other side of the loft includes another two bedrooms of 34m² & 30m² with a 10m² shower and terrace, symmetrical to the first. This area could be transformed or redivised as you wish but is perfectly comfortable.
The main farm courtyard offers 665m² with its main house partially in use. It's ground floor has a grand main room with fireplace measuring 105m², currently serving as a workshop. It has a further 42m² of rooms attached. The upstairs has to be renovated and has almost the same surface area.
The barn and attached stable measure 109m². The flooring needs to be relaid. This area links a further 3 rooms for a total of 28m². Behind this is some pasture, an orchard and a small garden with a pig pen and poultry house (18m²) where water and electricity have been attached.
At the entrance to the property is an iron gateway and a 24m² gatekeeper's cottage complete with fireplace, kitchenette, shower and covered terrace, perfect for enjoying an aperitif or afternoon tea.
The entire property has alarm and video surveillance.
The attached pastures are not currently being exploited and could be used for organic farming. A small stream borders the property as well as a small lake collecting rainwater runoff which will provide freshness and cool air all year round. A splendid orchard will supply you with cherries, apples, quince, pears and plums.
The roof of the main house is in good condition. The basement ceiling is double-insulated. Heating is assured by the latest gas-powered condensation boiler with a storage tank for hot water and iron radiators dispersing heat throughout. The heating boilers in the other buildings are in full working order. A septic tank system is up to current regulations. There is double glazing installed throughout except for two windows in the living room where the current owners wished to preserve the original frames.
You will be in a calm environment away from any hustle and bustle yet not completely isolated. The magnificent property offers the possibility for hosting events, receptions, seminars and/or breeding horses or other livestock.
The beach is 2 hours away, a skiing trip 1h30 away. Auch and Toulouse are one hour away.
