Elegant 19th Century Château With Swimming Pool And Scenic Views

About the Property

Elegant 19th-century château built around 1800 by the Durieu de Madron family, set within a 4.5-hectare estate in the tranquil Tarn countryside, just moments from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Albi. This distinguished property offers approximately 650 square meters of living space, characterized by generous volumes and a refined layout, making it a remarkable residence in southwestern France. The château features 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 property comprises six spacious suites, each providing comfort and privacy with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The upper levels include a large salon, a billiard room, and a library, creating additional areas for relaxation and conviviality. The second floor, originally designed for staff quarters, presents potential for further accommodation, ideal for hospitality ventures. The estate's landscaped park is thoughtfully designed, featuring an elegant swimming pool and multiple perspectives over the rolling hills of Tarn. Terraces and balconies offer serene panoramic views, enhancing the property's natural beauty. Outbuildings enrich the estate, including a stud farm inspired by Normandy's great stables, an orangery, a garage, and a spacious upper-level reception area suitable for events. An independent ground-floor apartment serves as a caretaker's residence or concierge accommodation. Rich in history, the château notably welcomed Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the end of the 19th century, who captured its stud farm and orangery, adding an artistic dimension to its heritage. Price: €998,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Exclusive listing by PONCET & PONCET CHRISTIE’S INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE OCCITANIE.
