A41746FV81 - Let's begin the tour! At the end of a small country road, the entrance to this property is private and well hidden.
We pass through the automatic gate and discover a majestic wooded park with a variety of trees and wide, leafy paths. Impressive!
Then, the large building gradually reveals itself with its unusual and elegant architecture.
We discover this complex, enhanced by beautiful arches, brick frames and an exposure that floods the facades with sunlight.
We enter the main house, which has been renovated with a combination of quality, comfort and authenticity, thus retaining all its charm.
The beautiful, light-filled entrance hall with its cement tiles and imposing staircase sets the tone: the magic is there!
First, a cosy little lounge in warm, natural tones welcomes us, and beyond it is THE incredible room you've been dreaming of: a former 100m² orangery housing a living space with a kitchen, lounge and dining room.
Simply magnificent! This double-aspect room benefits from exceptional light thanks to its arched bay windows on the terrace and front garden side and panoramic windows on the kitchen and office side. Such a room is unique, combining prestige and comfort.
Still dazzled, we return to the entrance hall, which leads to a beautiful 27m² bedroom, where the sun also shines in beautifully. Then there is a bathroom with WC, an incredible dressing room, and a former 25m² kitchen with a fireplace, which could be converted into a workshop, an office or another bedroom.
The laundry and boiler room are also located here, not to mention a separate room also accessible from the upper floor, ideal for an office, a space for self-employed professionals, or an additional bedroom.
We now return to the upper floor, where one wing is dedicated to a private area with a splendid en-suite bedroom, dressing room, and access to an incredible 120m² roof terrace offering panoramic views of the entire park.
The other wing comprises a large landing, which could easily accommodate an office or workshop, a large dressing room, and three further bedrooms, with two shower rooms and WCs.
A second level houses the insulated attic space, with electrical installations throughout, which can easily be adapted if necessary.
A former chapel measuring 113 m² is just waiting for your projects. Formerly a workshop, it could easily be converted into independent accommodation, an art space, etc. It has incredible character, so it won't be difficult to bring it to life!
On the outside, note that there is a second gate on the west wing, which is very wide and close to the buildings, making it very important.
After walking through the flat park, paths, fruit trees and flower beds, we notice that there is a well and borehole here. We are still feeling out of place when we discover a bamboo grove at the back. Yes, you are not dreaming, but what a dreamlike space, a playground, adventure or meditation area with a spring that flows into the river.
The bamboo is practically in the water, as the River Agout flows below, its bed is very wide and it continues on its way quietly, far away from the houses, so no need to panic! As a bonus, you have private access to the river, what luxury!

Let's get back to the technical aspects, which are very important. The house is equipped with double or triple glazing throughout, including the orangery living room.
It has a good energy rating thanks to a combination of high-performance gas heating, heat pumps and air conditioning.


You will easily understand that this is a rare and precious property.
