A sophisticatedly decorated, elegant manor rebuilt in 1912 in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, in 1.76-hectare grounds, 50 minutes from Toulouse and its airport, close to Montauban. A dead-end lane leads to the main entrance to the estate, which is framed by two imposing umbrella pines with twisted trunks. Two ashlar pillars crowned by pyramid-shaped capitals topped with spheres stand either side of wide, grey, double-leaf, metal gates topped by railings. Once though the gate, visitors’ gazes are drawn by two fenced meadows, dotted with cedars and oaks, while a hedge hides the spaces set aside for parking. Opposite the drive, a brick fountain babbles away regularly in front of the main building in the property. The three-storey manor boasts living space of approximately 520 m² and its façades are made of pink brinks punctuated by white dressed stone or rendered stone. The roof made of interlocking tiles and formed by unique series of interlinking sections is in very good condition. The 18th-century former dowager’s manor was entirely rebuilt in the 20th century by a Dutch diplomat, who became a benefactor of the village following the floods of 1930. He drew his inspiration from the modern Arts & Crafts movement that was fashionable in northern Europe at the time. He combined the architecture of noble aesthetics with the wealth of traditional craftsmanship know-how, as demonstrated by the sculpted panelling, oak flooring and staircases, moulded or coffered plasterwork on the ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, white Quercy stone or stained-glass windows in each room. Away from the main stoop, a clearing houses a swimming pool with light-coloured stone decking, surrounded by shrubs, flower beds and small bushes of aromatic plants. The pool’s technical facilities are housed in a nearby building. A shaded terrace stands next to the swimming pool. An orchard made up of old fruit tree varieties stretches out below to the left. Lastly, a wood occupies the edges of the entirely fenced property.

An 18th-century Italian-style chateau with tree-dotted grounds and a swimming pool, 50 minutes from Toulouse. The property extends over 1.5 hectares; its history spans nine centuries. It comprises a chateau consisting of an avant-corps and a prominent wing, an independent building with several vaulted rooms at its base, a terrace overlooking the parklands with a long swimming pool bordered by an annex, the caretaker's cottage of approx. 100 m² and a 1930 theatre. The main entrance is through the east gate. Framed by two high brick pillars topped by terracotta pinecones, the large automated gate opens onto a gravel courtyard providing parking for several vehicles. To the left, a path runs across a generously wooded stretch of garden, winding its way down to the lower part of the grounds. Two stone sphinxes and several terracotta putti adorn the balustrade of the first terrace. In the south-east corner of the terrace stands an independent square 15th-century lodge, parts of which are listed. Several doors to the right of the entrance provide direct access from the courtyard to the main section of the chateau. To the west of the property, a more discreet gate leads to the other part of the grounds. To the right, the elongated swimming pool is bordered by an annexe building with brick and pebble walls, a technique traditionally used in the region. A terrace hidden from view stretches out from this building. The driveway leads to a large terrace with a terracotta tile floor offering a panoramic view over the wooded valley.
