luxury architect house for sale Gaillac, France

Just ten minutes from Gaillac, on the Toulouse-Albi road, this contemporary 216 sqm timber-framed house is nestled in the heart of 2.6 hectares of natural surroundings, a large portion of which is wooded. Here, every opening frames a piece of the landscape: the eye is drawn to the woods, clearings, and trees, with no overlooking neighbors. As the seasons change, deer, squirrels, and other discreet inhabitants of the undergrowth can be glimpsed. Designed to harmonize with its environment, the house captivates with its elegant lines, generous proportions, and constant light, like an extension of the landscape. The ground floor is organized around a vast, light-filled living area, with a cathedral ceiling enhanced by a fireplace and a stone-clad wall. The recently renovated kitchen, with an adjoining pantry, opens onto the dining area. Large bay windows blur the line between indoors and outdoors, opening onto approximately 100 square meters of wooden terraces, entirely oriented towards nature. These terraces are perfect for enjoying breakfast overlooking the woods, relaxing summer evenings, and peacefully observing wildlife. On the same level, a master suite with a bathroom, a dressing room that can also serve as a bedroom, and a laundry room provide true single-level convenience. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a shower room, and a mezzanine overlooking the living room complete the sleeping quarters. Here again, the view of the woods and the tree canopy accompanies every room, creating a soothing and contemplative atmosphere. Underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs, powered by a heat pump, ensure modern and energy-efficient thermal comfort year-round. The landscaped and wooded grounds offer numerous secluded spots, impromptu pathways, and shady areas. An independent artist's studio of approximately 200 sq m, partially converted with a living area and a bathroom with WC, offers a world of possibilities: creative activity, professional space, reception room, or an ideal location for car collectors. A garage and two carports complete the property. This home is perfect for those seeking light, tranquility, and nature as their constant backdrop. An architect-designed house, a wooded setting, no overlooking neighbors, and a discreet presence of wildlife: a rare place where one can live away from it all, without being isolated.
