castle with reception room for sale Albi, France

Elegant 19th-century château near Albi Built around 1800 by the Durieu de Madron family, this elegant 19th-century château is set in the heart of the Tarn countryside, within a gently rolling, verdant and deeply peaceful environment, just moments from Albi. Located only a few minutes from the episcopal city of Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the property enjoys a privileged setting combining cultural richness, art de vivre and accessibility. With its remarkable architectural heritage, mild climate and open landscapes, Albi perfectly embodies the elegance of southwestern France. Offering approximately 650 sqm of living space, the château is distinguished by the generosity of its volumes and the quality of its layout. From the moment you enter, a grand entrance hall with impressive proportions opens onto light-filled reception rooms, including a beautifully scaled living room and dining room, as well as a fully equipped contemporary kitchen. The overall atmosphere is both refined and welcoming. The property features six spacious suites, each offering comfort and privacy, with lovely open views over the surrounding countryside. Upstairs, the living spaces continue with a large salon, a billiard room and a library, creating additional areas dedicated to relaxation and conviviality. The second floor, with its former staff quarters, also offers the potential to further increase accommodation capacity for a hospitality project. Outside, the estate extends over approximately 4.5 hectares, forming a remarkable natural setting. The landscaped park, carefully designed, includes an elegant swimming pool and offers multiple perspectives over the surrounding hills. From the terraces and balconies, the eye is drawn across the green, undulating Tarn countryside, revealing serene panoramic views from sunrise to sunset. The outbuildings complete the estate harmoniously, including a stud farm inspired by the great Normandy stables, an orangery, a garage, and a large upper-level reception space suitable for hosting events in a characterful setting. An independent ground-floor apartment can also serve as a caretaker’s residence or concierge accommodation. Rich in history, the property notably welcomed Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the end of the 19th century, who captured the stud farm and orangery, adding an artistic dimension to its heritage. This château offers a rare balance between architectural elegance, generous volumes, preserved nature and proximity to an exceptional city. It is equally suited as a prestigious family residence or for a refined hospitality or event project, in an authentic and inspiring setting.
