Elegant 19th Century Château With Swimming Pool And Stud Farm

About the Property

Elegant 19th-century château on the outskirts of Albi, built around 1800 by the Durieu de Madron family. This distinguished property spans approximately 4.5 hectares in the tranquil Tarn countryside, just moments from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Albi. The château offers around 650 square meters of living space, characterized by generous volumes and a refined layout, making it an exceptional residence in the heart of southwestern France. Upon entering, one is greeted by a grand entrance hall that leads to light-filled reception rooms, including a beautifully scaled living room and dining room, complemented by a fully equipped contemporary kitchen. The atmosphere is both welcoming and sophisticated, ideal for family living or entertaining. The property features six spacious suites, each providing comfort and privacy with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Additional living spaces include a large salon, a billiard room, and a library, creating areas dedicated to relaxation and conviviality. The estate is enhanced by meticulously landscaped grounds, which include an elegant swimming pool and various terraces that offer serene panoramic views of the undulating Tarn landscape. The outbuildings harmoniously complement the main château, featuring a stud farm inspired by the great Normandy stables, an orangery, a garage, and a spacious upper-level reception area suitable for hosting events. An independent ground-floor apartment can serve as a caretaker’s residence or concierge accommodation. Rich in history, the property notably welcomed Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the end of the 19th century, who captured the stud farm and orangery, adding an artistic dimension to its heritage. This château presents a rare balance of architectural elegance, generous volumes, preserved nature, and proximity to an exceptional city, making it equally suited for a prestigious family residence or a refined hospitality project.
