An unusual village house with swimming pool and garden in the heart of the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn department. The house, mainly built in the 16th century on the heights of the hilltop village, is reached via cobbled medieval alleyways. A driveway leads from the entrance gate to a patio enhancing the south-eastern main facade at right angles. Four different roofs with local tiles, one- or two-pitched, clearly set apart the various sections of this atypical building. The property has a floor area of approx. 350 m² extending over three stories. A contemporary 1980s extension, fronted by a wood and glass conservatory, adjoins the first main section, which is the original part of the house and abuts the old tower. All the facades are of old, rough-hewn stone, some combined with brick, some rendered and some half-timbered, a reminder of the many different historical periods and the unique character of the local architecture. The windows are arranged symmetrically or irregularly depending on the facade and vary widely in size. They are mainly rectangular or arched. Finally, a terrace extends from the garden level, which features a swimming pool. The wooded, lawned grounds to the rear of the building are enclosed by walls.

ALBI, nestled in a green setting overlooking the Tarn, the Château de Lapérouse opens the doors to a rare place, rich in history and emotions. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, and later enriched in the 19th century, this château listed as a Historical Monument is intimately linked to the memory of Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse, a famous navigator who spent part of his childhood here. From the moment of arrival, the charm works: a metal gate opens onto a tree-lined path leading to an elegant courtyard, a prelude to the discovery of an authentic residence that has preserved its original soul. The château is organized around vast, light-filled rooms, offering superb volumes suitable for multiple arrangements. Now operated with only 4 bedrooms, it already generates an annual revenue of around €40,000, hinting at remarkable development potential through the creation of additional rooms. Outside, two magnificent terraces encircle the property and provide breathtaking views of the park and the Tarn. These spaces, both intimate and spectacular, are perfectly suited to host demanding clients or prestigious events. The 3.6-hectare park, a true haven of peace, alternates between meadows, centenary trees, and wooded areas, creating unique perspectives over the river. Below, a swimming pool harmoniously integrates into the natural landscape, while an ancient nymphaeum fed by a spring adds a romantic and unique touch to the whole. This exceptional property of 320 m2 of living space offers a multitude of possibilities: prestige residence, seminar venue, museum, private or professional events... An ideal setting to develop an ambitious project, combining historical charm and strong economic potential. A unique place where the past meets the future, ready to welcome your most inspiring projects. The layout: Organized around an elegant U-shaped courtyard typical of the Renaissance, the château displays a brick architecture inspired by the private hotels of Toulouse, with its mullioned windows and sculpted doors. On the ground floor, the living spaces are arranged around a remarkable wooden spiral staircase from the 17th century. One discovers a vast light-filled living room/dining room, enhanced by a French ceiling and a monumental fireplace, as well as a contemporary kitchen open to the courtyard and terrace. A first bedroom with an en-suite bathroom completes this level. On the upper floor, dedicated to hosting activities, several characterful bedrooms — including one associated with Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse — feature fireplaces, ancient ceilings, and unobstructed views. A common lounge for guests and service areas complete this warm and functional ensemble. The attic, easily convertible, offers significant extension potential, while the vaulted brick cellars add authenticity and technical possibilities. Outside, the park structured over several levels offers terraces, a pool, outbuildings, and direct access to the banks of the Tarn, creating a unique setting, suitable for relaxation as well as hosting events. The property is sold furnished.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An old stone house and shop nestled in one of France’s most beautiful villages with a view of a rocky cirque. This fine dwelling is tucked away among the round and square towers that grace the village’s many country houses, which also feature quaint dovecotes – some genuine, others false. The house is inconspicuous, its architecture unpretentious. Its shape softens the angular forms of the surrounding medieval structures and the sturdy remains of the fortified old town. The building was probably made in the fifteenth or sixteenth century as a modest home. It captures much of this castle village’s unique history. Its simplicity makes it stands out from Autoire’s other houses. Unlike other dwellings in the village, this property does not feature towers, dovecotes, mullioned windows, half-timbering and corbels. Instead, it features straight lines and the stout design of the old block-like houses with upper floors that you find along the Dordogne valley. There are two entrance doors leading into the building. One is on the west side. You enter it at the garden level of the dwelling, at the end of a small garden with a terrace that enjoys a splendid corner spot with a clear, breathtaking view of the nearby limestone cliffs of Autoire’s spectacular cirque. The other one is on the north side. You enter it via a courtyard – a former threshing area – at the ground level. This expanse takes you to a large entrance into two shops next to each other, in front of which chairs and tables are placed for customers. At the back of the courtyard stands a fine modern extension of timber boards that runs along part of the facade made of Quercy stone, where a semibasement with a workshop, boiler room and storage space lies.
