As we pass through the grand wrought-iron entrance gate, the manor house comes into view, standing majestically at the very end of the central driveway lined with century-old trees. A path winds its way all the way round the grounds. We are utterly charmed – as you will be too – by this architecture of such great elegance! After strolling past the flowerbeds, we push open the solid wooden front door, adorned with its door knocker – the tone is set!
And there, we stand open-mouthed before a sublime entrance hall, with French-style ceilings and spacious terracotta floor tiles!
This leads off to the right wing to a 42 m2 dining room with a fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring, and large windows overlooking the courtyard on the entrance side – what a magnificent room!
Extending from this is a first 23 m2 living room, equally elegant, opening onto the lower rear courtyard on the Agout side. Next come two small sitting rooms, a kitchen and its pantry. Back in the main entrance hall, there is a 33 m2 study and library with splendid wood panelling, and an equally spacious games room opening onto a side terrace and the rear courtyard. Note that the layout on this ground floor is circular and interconnected. A boiler room with an oil-fired boiler and a bathroom with WC are also located here.
We take the staircase, which splits into two landings. The upper floor comprises five magnificent, light-filled bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom; one of the bedrooms features a double-aspect bathroom of very generous proportions. All the rooms feature beautiful, impeccably polished parquet floors and French-style ceilings here too, with generous proportions throughout, including rooms measuring 30m2!
From the east wing, you reach the tower and its pink bedroom! Above the tower, the space continues with a wide corridor leading to three further bedrooms in need of restoration.
A floor plan will be required, followed by a viewing, to fully appreciate the potential here!
A round dovecote hidden beneath the ivy near the well will surprise you; it’s just waiting to be restored. An old glass-roofed structure with wrought-ironwork will need to be restored, and it truly deserves it! A stone’s throw from the main house, a south-facing 5x10 swimming pool will also require renovation.
Further down, the grounds lead directly to the River Agout, which is teeming with fish – a real treat for all fishing enthusiasts!
This remarkable historic property is just waiting for you, and we’d be delighted to help you discover it and fall in love with it, just as we did at first sight – it was love at first sight – in our beautiful region of Occitanie.
Location:
Ideally situated less than an hour from Toulouse, not far from Castres and Lavaur, Saint-Paul-Cap-de-Joux is a peaceful rural village with a population of 1,100, combining a relaxed way of life with a vibrant atmosphere. Its welcoming shops, diverse range of crafts and varied public services charm visitors with their authenticity. Steeped in history, this village reveals a rich Gallo-Roman past, offering a warm and lively atmosphere.
The Tarn department will welcome you and help you discover and embrace its culture of good living, rooted in its Occitan heritage.
You’ll also appreciate this multifaceted department and its museums,
such as the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi, the Goya Museum in Castres and the Dom Robert Museum in Sorèze.
Further south, the medieval village of Hautpoul will immerse you in its history, whilst its
dizzying footbridge will satisfy your thirst for thrills and your curiosity. Not far away, the Gourjade Golf Club – a 25-hectare paradise – is perfect for both amateur and experienced golfers.
Toulouse Airport is less than an hour away, and Carcassonne Airport is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away.
