Charming, stone built Maison de Maitre with spectacular panoramic views

Description of property

Stone built Maison de Maitre with spectacular panoramic views of the beautiful Tarn countryside set on over 1 acre of land for sale in a peaceful location, not isolated and very private. The property is conveniently situated in a friendly community within an hour of Toulouse and Blagnac international airport and just 10 minutes from the popular and tourist market town of Gaillac.

This 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom home with pigeonnier, large open barn, and two further barns one which has been used as a concert hall boasts approx. 300 sq.m of generous space without losing its cosy atmosphere. Wake up each morning to awe-inspiring sunrises in the East and drift off to sleep each night with the tranquil sounds of nature.

 The Accommodation:

The main house was built in 1842 but the original domain dates back even further to around 1798. It is rare to come across a property that still maintains *many of its original features* such as the fireplace, floors and exposed beams. This has allowed it to keep its charm and generous proportions throughout.

On entering the property, immediately to the left a large open plan kitchen dining area (38 sq.m) with the magnificent fireplace. From here you access to the lounge (22 sq.m), first bedroom (20 sq.m), utility room (11 sq.m), bathroom with WC and finally office / small lounge (15 sq.m). Within the main house there is also a *one bedroom gite* (50 sq.m) with its own separate entrance and terrace. This apartment can be combined within the main house on the ground floor by simply opening through a bookshelf.

The first floor offers the possibility to create a number of bedrooms but will need to be adapted to provide en-suite facilities as there is currently a family bathroom and a shower in the gite part. There is plenty of scope as the main bedroom (currently a music room), is around (42 sq.m) beautiful south facing room with plenty of character and charm. Currently on this level there are 3 functional bedrooms ranging from (15 sq.m – 21 sq.m).

 Outside:

A courtyard providing access to the 2 storey pigeonnier and independent barn which is part wood store (20 sq.m) and the second part has had a new roof and concrete floor and this would make a great workshop or even converted into further living space of around (80 sq.m). There is also a large open barn large enough for several cars and also access to the second barn which has been used as a concert hall. This part would be *ideal for musicians or for those who have a collection of classic or vintage cars* as there is over (100 sq.m) of floor space.

The property is situated on the edge of a small hamlet and the grounds to the property is split in two. There is a large section on the other side of the small lane and enough grounds around the house if one wanted to install a pool for example.

Money will need to be spent to bring some modern comforts to the home, but once you have visited the property you too will want to keep the original features so as not to lose its wonderful charm and character of this unique property.

Our opinion

It would be useful to provide for a renovation budget to bring some modern comforts to this special home. However, once you visit the property, you probably want, you would want to retain its original features and not lose its character and charm
