Single-storey "Riviera" villa at the foot of the Black Mountain

Nestled within its 2-hectare landscaped grounds, this 1960s architect-designed home is a true marvel. Inspired by the sun-drenched elegance of the French Riviera, the single-story villa, built of stone and rubble masonry, boasts a solid structure that celebrates artisanal craftsmanship.

Set on a level, elevated plot, tucked away in a verdant haven of privacy, this timeless 307 sq m villa offers a privileged panorama of the Montagne Noire. The bright, airy spaces are immediately apparent upon entering. The spectacular 83 sq m suite of rooms, encompassing a living room, dining room, and library, which can be partitioned as desired thanks to bifold and pocket doors, is the vibrant heart of the house. Herringbone parquet flooring, custom-made woodwork, and superb fireplaces create a refined and elegant atmosphere. The boundary between indoors and outdoors blurs behind the large bay windows, inviting the park and light to flood every room. The fluid layout preserves everyone's privacy, with one wing comprising the independent master suite with a boudoir, a large walk-in closet with a mirror, and a private bathroom. A second wing offers four bright bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged around a charming little private sitting room. The beautifully landscaped grounds, boasting a variety of trees, are a veritable Garden of Eden, benefiting from an integrated irrigation system fed by a private spring. The swimming area is centered around a generous 12 x 6 m pool and a large pool house with a summer kitchen, a true open-air living room for summer evenings. A closed garage, a traditional timber frame in perfect condition, and a large basement housing a wine cellar and workshop complete the amenities of this exceptional residence. A rare architectural signature for a lifestyle suspended between the chic of the French Riviera and the serenity of the Tarn region.
