About the Property

Elegant 19th-century château built around 1800 by the Durieu de Madron family, set within 4.5 hectares in the tranquil Tarn countryside, just moments from Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 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's grand entrance hall leads to light-filled reception rooms, including a spacious living room and dining room, complemented by a fully equipped contemporary kitchen. The property features six expansive suites, each providing comfort and privacy with lovely views over the surrounding landscape. The upper levels house a large salon, a billiard room, and a library, creating inviting spaces for relaxation and conviviality. The second floor, originally designed for staff quarters, presents potential for further accommodation, ideal for hospitality endeavors. The estate's meticulously landscaped park includes an elegant swimming pool and offers panoramic views of the undulating Tarn countryside, enhancing the property's serene atmosphere. The terraces and balconies invite one to enjoy the picturesque scenery from sunrise to sunset. Outbuildings enhance the estate's charm, featuring a stud farm inspired by Normandy's great 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 château notably welcomed the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the late 19th century, who captured the beauty of the stud farm and orangery, adding an artistic dimension to its heritage.
