Cordes-sur-Ciel, Tarn, France

This 5-bedroom farmhouse is in one of the most sought-after regions of France. The property has stunning views and is situated at the end of a private road, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The Bastide town of Cordes-sur-Ciel is a 10min drive and the airport at Toulouse is just over an hour away.

There’s a generous 300m2 of habitable space and the rooms feel large and comfortable. The accommodation consists of a large farmhouse kitchen, living room with a wood burning stove, games room, 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The thick stone walls keep the property cool in summer and there’s full central heating for the winter months.

Outside:

The property comes with approximately 2 acres of land, much of which is low-maintenance. The mature garden, which surrounds the property, and the walled garden need a bit more attention and, since it’s a second home for the current owners, they employ a gardener to keep things in check.

A brand new 12m x 5m salt chlorination swimming pool has just been installed, together with a travertine marble terrace and pool-surround.

There are several terraced areas, perfect for al-fresco dining.

The property also has several barns which are currently used for storage. The lower barn retains its old cattle troughs and the upper barn is enormous with potential to convert it to additional living space.

Location: 

The property is situated at the end of a long private road. The location is quiet, private and very peaceful. Larks sing in the skies above and kestrels nest in the open barn. 

10mins is away is the delightful Bastide town of Cordes-sur-Ciel. Here you’ll find a good selection of restaurants, shops and an excellent weekly produce market (held on a Saturday morning).

The Tarn is considered by many as one of the prettiest in France. Within the Tarn is the‘Triangle d’Or’ (Golden Triangle), which connects the UNESCO world heritage city of Albi, the market town of Gaillac and the medieval village of Cordes-sur-Ciel. The triangle has a particularly high concentration of beautiful countryside and unspoilt ancient villages.
