Just minutes from the centre of Albi, this architect-designed house, built in 1977, offers 278 m2 of living space in the heart of a plot of over 3,233 m2, entirely wooded and protected from view. From the moment you enter, you perceive the quality of design characteristic of high-end properties of the era. This is one of the first prestigious architect-designed homes in the area, conceived with exacting standards in both its layout and construction. The spaces are generous, the flow is fluid, and the separation between living and sleeping areas is naturally balanced. The ground floor, which comprises the majority of the living space, offers a generously sized living room, a separate dining room, an independent kitchen, several bedrooms, an office, and bathrooms. The upper floor completes the layout with more intimate spaces, suitable for family living or additional uses. The house rests on a particularly solid structure: traditional masonry, concrete slabs, a timber frame, and a tiled roof. This level of construction, achieved with high-quality materials, represents a cost that is difficult to replicate today. The foundation is sound and durable. The fixtures and fittings are original, including electric underfloor heating installed during construction--a cutting-edge technology at the time--as well as an open fireplace. The property is functional but will require a complete overhaul to meet current standards. Outside, the property is organized around different spaces: a terrace, a patio, a pool house with a summer kitchen, and a basement garage. A swimming pool in excellent condition, fitted with a new liner in 2025, blends seamlessly into this environment. The dense, wooded grounds create a true sense of seclusion: an atmosphere of preserved nature, comparable to a small forest, on the edge of the city. The dominant position also offers an unobstructed view of Albi and its cathedral, providing a direct reading of the landscape and heritage. Let us now turn to the environment and living conditions that accompany this property. Living Environment & Environment The property is located in a sought-after area, in the immediate vicinity of Albi, allowing quick access to amenities while maintaining a quiet and residential living environment. The plot, with its size and dense vegetation, is now a particularly rare find. This type of land, both spacious, wooded, and private, has become difficult to find in this area. It offers a truly high quality of life, with a feeling of controlled seclusion while remaining close to the city. The dominant view over Albi and its cathedral places the property in its environment, with a direct link between nature and heritage. Here we find a balance between space, privacy and accessibility. Finally, let's look at what constitutes the added value of this property. Why choose this property? This property combines features that have become rare: a high-end architect-designed house, built with care, large volumes, and a plot of more than 3,000 m2 completely wooded and sheltered from view. The quality of construction, inherited from an era when materials and techniques were designed to last, provides a reliable foundation for a renovation project. Today, such an undertaking would represent a significantly higher construction cost. The location, the commanding view, the park and the existing annexes complete this coherent whole. This is a real opportunity, both because of its location, its size and its potential for growth. For any further information or to arrange a visit, please contact Sébastien Lacambra directly.
