Midi-Pyrénées, Tarn, St-Pierre-de-Trivisy, France

A46645SJM81 - Set in the rolling Tarn countryside, this château enjoys a privileged setting of over 3 hectares, comprising meadows, mature trees and well-maintained grounds.

Its south-facing principal façade gives the château an immediately recognisable presence. The towers, tall red-shuttered windows and walls partly softened by climbing greenery emphasise its character. To the rear, the two wings frame a more intimate and sheltered inner courtyard.

The grounds offer a variety of outdoor settings. The gravelled courtyard in front of the château opens towards the meadows and surrounding countryside, while clipped hedges, pathways, lawned areas and shaded spaces beneath mature trees create inviting places for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing.

The principal entrance opens into a light-filled hall featuring decorative floor tiles, generous proportions and an arched glazed doorway overlooking the grounds. This through-view creates an immediate sense of space and light.

The main living and reception rooms occupy the heart of the château. The drawing room, sitting room, library, study and reception room form a graceful sequence of spaces suited both to everyday living and formal entertaining. Fireplaces, high ceilings, timber staircases and period wooden floors reinforce the château’s character, while the light decoration highlights the scale and elegance of the rooms.

More contemporary in style, the kitchen-dining room is arranged around a substantial central island and provides generous storage and preparation space. Its patterned floor creates an attractive link between the historic character of the château and modern-day comfort.

The ground floor also includes a spacious games room with fireplace, a secondary entrance, a workshop and various service areas. This arrangement creates a natural balance between spaces intended for entertaining, relaxation, work and practical daily use.

One of the château’s principal advantages is the layout of its two wings. One wing has its own kitchen and offers the potential to create separate accommodation for relatives, guests or staff. It is not currently a fully self-contained dwelling, but the existing configuration provides genuine flexibility for future use.

The 14 bedrooms are distributed between the central section and the wings. Several are particularly generous in size, with sufficient space to incorporate a private sitting or working area. The different orientations of the château provide varied outlooks across the meadows, maintained grounds and inner courtyard, while wooden floors, fireplaces and period joinery contribute to the individual character of the rooms.

Timber staircases, corridors and landings connect the different levels and wings. Some of the larger circulation areas could also lend themselves to the creation of reading corners or informal sitting spaces.

On the upper level, approximately 160m² of attic space forms a substantial open area beneath an impressive exposed timber structure. Already accessible and usable, this bright and versatile space could accommodate a wide range of purposes, including a studio, leisure area, gym, storage or a large multipurpose room.

The garage, measuring approximately 51m², forms part of one of the château’s wings. Outside, a covered porch of around 100m² and a small outbuilding provide additional useful space and further potential for future projects, subject to the relevant permissions. The basement contains a cellar and boiler room.

The château combines a peaceful rural environment with convenient access to everyday amenities. Approximately five minutes away, Saint-Pierre-de-Trivisy offers a grocery shop, bakery, restaurant, post office, banking services, a primary school and a range of healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses.

The village is also particularly well equipped for leisure. Its local leisure complex includes an aquatic park, wellness centre, gym, mini-golf, sports facilities, walking trails and children’s play areas. An adventure park also offers treetop courses and other outdoor activities.

This proximity to shops, services and recreation enhances the château’s appeal as a family residence while also supporting its potential for a hospitality project.

With its architectural presence, generous accommodation and flexible layout, the château could suit a variety of uses. It would make an exceptional family or multigenerational residence, with the possibility of creating a separate area for relatives, guests or staff.

Its 14 bedrooms, numerous bathroom and washroom facilities, and substantial reception spaces could also support a guest-house, retreat, seminar or events project, subject to the relevant permissions.

Far more than a historic residence, this château offers a refined country lifestyle combining character, space and flexibility in a peaceful rural setting, only a few minutes from everyday amenities and leisure facilities.
