You're going to love the charm of this hamlet with 70 inhabitants situated right in the middle of vineyards, the genuine peace and quiet of the setting, the magnificent clear view of the vineyards and the river Tarn, the authenticity of the property, the good-sized rooms and the tree-filled park with its pool.
A wrought iron gate opens onto a long drive bordered with oak trees and conifers that leads to the main house. The authentic small wooden door opens onto a superb 20 m² reception hall and corridor, with the original terracotta floor tiles.
To the left is a 40 m² dining room with a fireplace and small wooden framed windows. The room faces due south and has a door opening onto the 25 m² child's bedroom and the 21 m² guest room.
The kitchen is also reached from the dining room. It measures 30 m², is fully-fitted and has lots of cupboard space and work-tops, as well as air-conditioning. The door at the far end of the kitchen opens onto the 20 m² storeroom/boiler room, as well as the 10 m² bathroom.
To the right of the hall is a large 45 m² lounge with an imposing fireplace. This room communicates with the 23 m² study/library, which opens onto the park.
The magnificent period stone staircase leads to the first floor, which has six bright bedrooms (24 m², 26 m², 29 m², 30 m², 31 m² & 39 m²; 2 need to be refurbished) and a magnificent bathroom (shower bathtub).
Behind a small door you find the last staircase which leads to the attic, which is suitable for conversion.
Outside there is an old wine and spirit storehouse that is built of stone. It has two levels and a total surface area of 528 m². It is possible to create an extension from the upper level.
To the right of this is the former smithy (53 m²). To the left is the garage/shed/area for gardening (40 m²). They can all be easily converted.
The wine press is in the old stone barn (110 m²), which is next to the splendid pigeon loft (2 levels of 25 m²), including the huge 40 m² plant room for the pool and a 15 m² shed.
Facing due south, you'll enjoy having the sun all day long in the house and on the grounds. On nice days, you'll be in the magnificent pool.
The wonderful park has fruit and decorative trees, as well as conifers (most of them being over a hundred-years-old). Behind the house, building is permitted on 5000 m² of land. Why not build a tennis court or mini-golf course? However, it is the ideal spot for a truffle field, since the soil is favourable for it.
The concave tiled roof is in perfect condition. The heating and hot water are provided by an oil-fired boiler (Viessman), in addition to a heat pump. The house has 5 fireplaces that are in perfect working order. The glass wool insulation is 20 cm thick. The joinery of the small windows is wooden and single-glazed. The kitchen has double glazing. The Everblue swimming pool is salt-treated. The drainage system is individual.
In this beautiful home, you'll enjoy a mansion with character, a true "Piece of French Heritage," a rare and exceptional property that has been wonderfully restored, preserved and kept by the current owners, who paid attention to every detail in each room. A rural setting only 8 minutes from all conveniences. For those who love history and beautiful old stones.
Located 65 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport; 20 minutes from Albi; 2 1/4 hours from the Mediterranean Sea and ski slopes; 3 1/4 hours from the Atlantic Ocean; 2 hours and 35 minutes from Spain.
