Elegant Late 18th Century Manor House With Expansive Grounds

About the Property

An elegant late 18th-century manor house, constructed in 1870, set within a generous 5.5 hectares of wooded grounds near Lavaur, France. This distinguished estate, characterized by its noble architecture and remarkable volumes, offers approximately 750 square meters of living space. The property is situated in a discreet and preserved setting, providing a tranquil environment while remaining accessible. The manor house showcases a rich historical character, with spacious reception rooms, enfilade-style salons, and multiple dining areas, all reflecting the refinement of a bygone era. The interiors are adorned with period parquet flooring, terracotta tiles, original wooden joinery, antique doors, and six fireplaces, creating an authentic atmosphere. The expansive floors include numerous bedrooms and convertible attic space, allowing for versatile use. While the estate requires complete restoration, it presents exceptional potential for architectural reinterpretation. The outbuildings, which include large former stables, a substantial cellar, a barn, and a separate workshop, offer additional opportunities for development, with a change of use remaining possible. The grounds are enriched with centuries-old trees and feature a south-facing orientation, providing a remarkable natural environment suitable for the installation of a swimming pool, further enhancing the estate's appeal. Existing technical features include oil-fired central heating, multiple fireplaces, single and three-phase electricity, and fibre-optic connectivity (to be connected). The individual sanitation system requires full renovation, offering complete flexibility for future projects. This rare and elegant residence is ideally suited for a large-scale family project or an ambitious heritage restoration. Price: €980,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
