Midi-Pyrénées, Tarn, France

ALBI | CORDES-SUR-CIEL - Mid-way between the two towns, this magnificent, one-of-a-kind property, meticulously renovated since 2010 and nestled in a peaceful haven at the heart of the village. Access is gained through a discreet side gate opening onto the grounds, revealing a true oasis: a main house, a summer terrace set within an adjoining former barn to provide a cool retreat from the sun, a recently installed saltwater swimming pool, a substantial barn of over 100 sq m at the bottom of the garden, a carport, former pigsties converted into a garden workshop, and two functioning wells.

Inside the house, the living spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined by an architect and are all situated on the ground floor, level with the garden. The entrance leads through an elegant hall featuring a bespoke wrought-iron staircase crafted by a local artisan. This serves a double reception room of over 60 sq m with a wood-burning insert, a versatile lounge ideal for a large study with custom-built bookshelves or a media room, and an open-plan kitchen-diner. The kitchen flows seamlessly through large glazed doors onto a terrace covered by a glass and metal pergola, acting as a garden-side extension of the living space. A cloakroom, plant room, and utility room complete this level.

On the first floor, the landing leads to a primary suite of over 30 sq m, boasting dual aspect views over the garden, built-in wardrobes, and a private en-suite shower room. A second suite of similar proportions is situated above the living room, while an adjacent wing offers three further large bedrooms, a family bathroom, an additional shower room, and separate WCs. The attic space is partially suitable for conversion, offering further potential for development.

The property's technical specifications offer further peace of mind: a 9 kWp solar panel system is in place, with the benefit of surplus energy resale to the grid. Comprehensive surveys confirm the absence of termite infestation, no lead, and no detectable asbestos. Finally, the property is connected to a compliant mains drainage system.
