Features and description
Plot size : 5000m2
Total built size : 495m2
Set in a wonderfully peaceful position surrounded by open countryside, this exceptional Lauragais manor combines the grandeur of a 19th-century residence with the comfort and efficiency of a carefully executed modern renovation. Built in the mid-19th century and facing south, the property has been thoughtfully restored while retaining the architectural character that makes historic French homes so special.
With more than 495m2 of living space, the principal house is characterised by generous proportions, impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light. A magnificent original central staircase forms the heart of the house, while broad corridors and elegant double doors lead to a succession of spacious and beautifully proportioned rooms.
Original details have been preserved throughout, including exposed stonework, terracotta flooring, traditional fireplaces, exposed beams and the substantial elm staircase. These historic elements sit comfortably alongside modern improvements, creating a home that feels both authentic and highly practical.
The main residence currently provides four bedrooms, together with three bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, dining room and generous sitting room. The kitchen has a particularly attractive traditional fireplace, now fitted with a modern, regulation-compliant insert installed in 2024. Further accommodation and living space could be created within the substantial attic, while two barns provide valuable additional storage, workshop or conversion potential.
A separate apartment of approximately 100m2 is located within the property and offers a useful degree of independence. Currently requiring some updating and improved insulation, it comprises two bedrooms, a shower room, kitchen and living area. It would be ideal for extended family, guests, a home office or potentially as a rental property.
The renovation has been carried out with both character and long-term practicality in mind. The property benefits from an energy rating of C and is heated by a high-quality Austrian pellet boiler, providing an efficient central heating system.
Outside, approximately 5,000m2 of mature grounds provide a beautiful setting for the house. Established trees and landscaped areas create a sense of privacy and tranquillity, while a large heated swimming pool provides the perfect focal point during the warmer months. Several terraces offer different places to enjoy the garden throughout the day, including a generous stone terrace and a more sheltered north-facing terrace that provides welcome shade in summer.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is remarkably well connected. A small village with local shops and services is just five minutes away, while the market town of Villefranche-de-Lauragais can be reached in around ten minutes. Toulouse and its extensive range of cultural, commercial and transport facilities are approximately 35 minutes away.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful country residence in the Lauragais, offering generous accommodation, independent living space, extensive grounds and the possibility to further develop the property according to individual needs.
