A 19th century chateau and its outbuildings in 4 ha of parklands, 40 km to the south of Toulouse. The “Domaine d’Ampouillac”, composed of land and houses, has been known by this name since the 10th century. Initially annexed to the Cuxa Monastery, in 1209 the estate and the priory became part of the Boulbonne Abbey, created in 1129 near to Mazères. The monks of this Cistercian Abbey farmed Ampouillac’s land and that of some adjoining estates, such as Baissac, Artenac and several others. The remoteness of Mazères meant that the monks had to construct buildings for their accommodation on the land they were farming. Said buildings, known as Cistercian barns, were to remain the property of Boulbonne Abbey until the time of the French Revolution when, as a result of the revolutionary riots, Ampouillac was partially destroyed. All that remained was the basement of the “barn” and the current ground floor as is proved by the architecture and the thickness of the walls. In 1791, Ampouillac, was declared National Property and sold. The buyer reconstructed it from the ruins as is explained on the plaque on the stairway. It was also at this time that the first-floor lounge was created and decorated. Ampouillac was to remain in the hands of the same family until 1879 when it was sold to an industrialist from Toulouse. The building currently spans three levels over cellars, the latter being the old, 11th century, Cistercian barns.

A 19th century chateau, its greenhouse and wooded grounds 30 minutes from Toulouse city centre, in the heart of the countryside. The property is accessed via an unpaved track lined with centuries-old trees leading to an iron gate. Flanked by two Roman columns adorned with capitals featuring antique terracotta vases, the gates open onto a driveway lined with four yew trees leading to the chateau. This first section of the grounds, enclosed by a low wall topped with railings, provides parking for several vehicles. At the heart of the property, a central corps de logis and two wings frame a rectangular main courtyard facing due west, paved with Garonne pebbles surrounding a central earth platform where the vegetation has taken its rightful place. The original building, a farm, was included in the first regional land register, drawn up in 1825. The grounds feature a row of three 300-year-old cedar trees, suggesting that the original owners were Protestants. Given monumental form between 1870 and 1875 with the addition of a second storey and neo-Classical and neo-Gothic decorative elements, the main building now has four storeys. Flanked by four watchtowers, its symmetrical facades are punctuated by alternating arched and straight windows, with brick surrounds and wooden shutters painted light blue. Two stringcourses, also of red brick, mark the separations between the three levels. The semi-circular French windows facing the main courtyard or the parklands have balconies with wrought iron guardrails. The four-pitched roof is of slate. Each of the two wings of the chateau is two storeys high and topped by a gable roof of monk-and-nun tiles. The western end of the roof features a pediment crowned with terracotta pine cones. The north wing contains a gallery, a reception room and a mezzanine that opens onto a long balcony; the south wing comprises a vast conservatory and a gîte with a separate terrace. Two side extensions with monk-and-nun tile roofs form the link between the corps de logis and the wings. All the walls are rendered in light yellow, complementing the colours of the vines that grow along the facades and that of the flowering bushes in the main courtyard. Finally, the chateau is surrounded by 8,000 m² of grounds, including an outbuilding with a large swimming pool.

A large family house with listed grounds that cover over 6,000m², near the River Garonne in Blagnac, on the outskirts of Toulouse. The property features a grand, spacious house that dates back to the first half of the 20th century. Its lush grounds, which cover around 6,000m², surround the fine dwelling and include trees of many different species. These remarkable wooded grounds are listed and walled. Sweet birdsong can be heard on these bucolic grounds. The pleasant scent of undergrowth here is magical. Two gates lead into the property. One stands beside the house. And vehicles can drive through the second one, in the corner of the grounds. The house was built in the traditional style of 1930s villas in a Mediterranean spirit that can be seen in its gently sloping roof, its roof terrace and its covered entrance area with pillars and steps leading down to the garden. Its stone elevations are rendered and its rectangular windows are set in brick surrounds and evenly spaced out. They are separated by a stringcourse that runs between the two floors and underlines the first-floor windows. The house’s east and north elevations face the grounds. Many windows bring natural light inside and offer views down over the lush grounds. The house is crowned with a hipped roof of barrel tiles with three roof windows and two chimney stacks. The building has a ground floor, a first floor and a basement that extends beneath the entire house. Extra rooms have been made in the roof space too.

20 minutes to the south of Toulouse, with tree-filled grounds and a remarkable swimming pool, a 19th-century family home carefully renovated into a bucolic event space. At the end of the first driveway that provides access to the departmental road, a majestic willow tree overhangs the small wooden bridge, which marks the property’s entrance. Previously used to provide water for livestock, a water lily-carpeted pond sets the tone, a first and graceful indication of the estate’s overall floral aesthetic. Surrounded by greenery, a winding driveway then leads to the long building, recounting centuries of successive constructions, in which welcoming suites have replaced the feed cellars. Three clearly defined spaces, the reception space, the guest house and the private area come one after another and are extended by elegant patios in front of each of their façades. The farmhouse occupies the eastern part of the property, which extends over 1.7 hectares with blooming flowers and trees. The building, with typically Toulouse-style architecture, alternates brick and stone compositions with foundations plastered in lime whitewash. To the north, it is protected by woods whose oak and acacia trees supply fuel for the house’s fireplace. The swimming pool, awarded with a gold medal for the most beautiful design in France by the Federation of Swimming Pool Professionals, adorns the southwest wing of the house with its harmonious conception. The orchard’s fruit trees take full advantage of their southern orientation to provide ripe seasonal fruit. Light-coloured, made-to-measure reception tents blend harmoniously with the surrounding nature.
