Exceptional property with woods and meadows in the land of plenty

Located in the rolling hills of Puylaurens, in the heart of the Pays de Cocagne, a majestic avenue lined with century-old plane trees, typical of Toulouse châteaux entrances, marks the entrance to the estate and leads to the property, a veritable history book open to nature.

While its foundations whisper tales of the 12th century, today it is an elegant combination of a 17th-century main building and a wing added in the 19th century.

The entrance is through a large double door studded with nails, opening onto the main building. The reception rooms follow one another in a fluid perspective: living rooms and lounges conducive to relaxation, a cosy library, a billiard room with patinated terracotta tiles...

Here, every step tells a story. The true heart of the house, the 40 m² open-plan kitchen commands respect with its monumental fireplace and Burgundy stone floor, inviting large gatherings and conviviality.

Access to the upper floor is via a wide wooden staircase, enhanced by a cluster of dreamlike hanging lights and tree branches from the estate, leading to the sleeping area with artistic lightness. On this level, the renovation reveals remarkable craftsmanship, with solid parquet floors unifying the space. The sleeping area comprises four generously sized bedrooms and an exceptional master suite with a bird's eye view of the swimming pool, offering a permanent invitation to serenity.

The estate covers more than 10 hectares of woods and meadows with a variety of species, fed by two springs and three wells. It is also remarkable for its elements of vernacular heritage, with the remains of its private chapel and its dovecote on pillars, a symbol of wealth under the Ancien Régime.

Below the stone building, a lap pool blends in like a mineral mirror, offering a vanishing point towards the surrounding nature, where time seems to stand still.

Finally, to complete the ensemble, part of the wing of the property has been converted into a gîte with two bedrooms, allowing guests or friends to stay in complete independence or to consider a hospitality business.

In summary, this is a residence that has retained its character as a wealthy family home, passing from the nobility of swordsmen, soldiers and captains to a contemporary renovation that respects its original spirit. A secret address for lovers of beautiful stone, nature and absolute tranquillity.
