Description

An exceptional estate for sale in a serene and private environment whilst being surrounded by enchanting countryside


This property is presented by Knight Frank SNC

Set against the serene backdrop of the Pays de Cocagne in the Tarn region of France, the estate benefits from relative proximity to the villages of Damiatte, Lavaur and Grauhlet. Believed to be Knights Templar in origin and previously designated as a site classe, the strategic location and fully enclosed courtyard of the manor afford a high degree of privacy and protection.

Whilst a large portion of the manor's refurbishment was in 2006, the current owner has paid careful attention to upkeep the property and make further improvements. Heating in the main house is by a high specification woodchip burner (running off the estate's timber) and with solar panels for the hot water. The former farm buildings – now the guest gite – have also been subjected to tasteful renovation.

MAIN HOUSE

On the ground floor - an impressive entrance hall with a stone staircase leading upstairs, a gorgeous sitting room with a stone fireplace and French windows to the rear terrace, a study, dining room with a wood-burning stove, the kitchen with granite worktops and beautiful cabinetry, a utility room, a second study, and a cloakroom.

On the first floor - a galleried landing with broad oak floor boards leads on to four bedrooms (one of which has an en suite bathroom) as well as a family bathroom with a bath and shower.

COURTYARD BUILDINGS

Two bedrooms, a shower room, a gym, and the boiler room which contains both the woodchip heating boiler as well as a 600L hot water system fed by solar panels.

GUEST HOUSE

On the ground floor - an entrance hall with a bespoke oak staircase, a fitted kitchen, a living/dining room with a private west-facing terrace, and a bedroom with its own en suite bathroom.

On the first floor - four further bedroom suites.

CARETAKER'S COTTAGE

A living/dining/kitchen which opens onto a private terrace, a cloakroom, and two bedrooms sharing a shower room.

OUTBUILDINGS

A triple-bay garage (approx 61 sqm), a workshop and further garage, and a large barn (currently used for machinery and woodchip storage).

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The estate is a haven for wildlife and flora with a meandering stream and many delightful woodland avenues and a total absence of light pollution. Wildlife includes owls, deer and wild boar, red squirrels, birdlife and several varieties of edible mushrooms.

The estate offers a total of some 32 hectares of pasture, arable land, woodland, springs and even a small river. Surrounding the immediate property you will also find manicured gardens with olive trees and fountains.

Next to the house one finds a fabulous swimming pool area. The pool house contains a kitchen, a covered sitting area, Jacuzzi, sauna, two showers, and a bathroom. The heated salt-water pool (6x12m) itself has a large surrounding terrace.
