Superb 16 Th C Mansion Pool Dovecote

TARN - NEAR ALBI

The history of this property, located 10kms from Albi and its Unesco World Heritage Episcopal city, dates back to the end of the 16th century.

Superbly maintained, it has been transformed and modernized by successive owners.

Today, the property comprises a beautiful stone mansion flanked by two towers, with two apartments. The largest, approx. 230 m², is located on the second floor and in the east tower. The second, a single-storey apartment with independent access, covers approx. 110 m² on the garden level. Finally, a former dovecote of approx. 30m², fitted out with a kitchenette, a sleeping area and a shower room with toilet, stands in the middle of the landscaped garden.
This former stronghold house, main residence of the current owners, has retained traces of the past and of its illustrious owners, lords of the community.
The main building is revealed through the entrance gate and boxwood driveway. The main door, decorated with pilasters, arrow slits and the remains of machicolations, bears witness to the original fortified house, and opens onto a magnificent stone spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.

The interior layout of the 230m² main apartment, with its fireplaces, high ceilings and magnificent vaulted cellar in the basement, is another visible reminder of the property’s prestigious past. All wooden windows are double-glazed, adding to the comfort of the property. It comprises four bedrooms, including a master suite, a magnificent study, a circular kitchen, a living room and a sitting room with fireplaces.

The 110m² garden-level apartment, renovated in a more contemporary style, has two bedrooms, two shower rooms, a living room with fireplace and a kitchen.
Both apartments are heated independently by an Austrian-built pellet-fired boiler.

The property also features a vast 60m² garage, a wine cellar, a workshop and a sauna with checkroom next to the vaulted cellar.

The 8400m² grounds, enclosed by an automatic remote-controlled gate, are planted with trees and landscaped over 2000m², with integrated watering. The orchard, with around thirty fruit trees, can be watered by the property’s two wells.

The swimming pool area, with a 12 x 6 pool and pool house with summer kitchen, bread oven and checkroom, is judiciously positioned to the south to benefit from the sunshine, and is not overlooked.

A magnificent property, remarkable for its architecture, impeccable features and high standing.
