A manor house, outbuildings and swimming pool in a luminous clearing surrounded by 10 hectares of royal forest, 50 minutes from Toulouse . Invisible from the road, you discover the house when you turn a bend in a woodland path. It is sheltered behind a green wall of Scots pines, limes, ancient oaks, ferns and peaceful clearings. As if set down inside a bubble of greenery, it forms a discreet, almost secret unit with its outbuildings, swimming pool, pond and driveways, enveloped in more than 10 hectares of landscaped parkland and ancient forest. Most of the buildings have stone walls, some of which are rendered, and gable roofs with interlocking tiles. The three-storey residence, with almost 650 m² of living space, was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has been patiently restored after a period of neglect. Each stage of the work was guided by meticulous restoration of the original features: the old fireplaces, the oak or chestnut parquet flooring, the moulded ceilings, the stone window and door frames and the floors have been preserved or restored, with respect for the building. All of the utilities have been renewed: drainage, rainwater, pipes, electricity and heating. The main roof has been remodelled, and the roof of the annexe has been refitted. A stone pond and a fountain form a peaceful focal point around the house. The swimming pool is set nearby in a landscaped clearing, like a natural extension of the house, not far from a natural pool fed by a spring. There is also a well adjacent to the outbuildings, which still contains water. The overall effect is one of harmonious sobriety, typical of country manor houses, where practicality meets elegance. The top floor of the house, which is preserved in its original state and insulated under the rafters, offers huge conversion potential.

Restored farmhouse with magnificent views and gîtes for tourist rental on 27 hectares of land (forests and farmland), located in the commune of the medieval town of Rieux-Volvestre.

On the first floor two apartments: 1 apartment on the first floor with kitchen, living room, bathroom and 1 bedroom. Second living/dining room, guest bedroom and shower room. 1 two-bedroom apartment with kitchen and bathroom. The grounds feature a lovely garden, a vegetable patch, and a well. There is also a fish pond, a pond with water lilies, an orchard, a summer kitchen, and a small swimming pool with views of the Pic du Midi. A farm building with water and electricity supplies completes the complex. Less than an hour from Toulouse. Located near famous hiking trails, an hour from the ski slopes. Oil central heating and wood stoves in 3 gîtes. Beautiful property with plenty of possibilities. Ideal for a hospitality project with seasonal rentals, with space to host classes, retreats, or seminars. A must-see!

Set in a quiet, unspoilt setting close to major roads and just an hour from Toulouse, this property offers views of the Pyrenees. It comprises a stone house of approximately 340m² built in 1850 and fully restored in 1995, an outbuilding, a swimming pool and 16 hectares of surrounding land. The house features a large entrance hall leading to a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the top floor with sloping ceilings, there is a large dormitory-style bedroom. An outbuilding adjoining the house with a laundry room, a workshop and a garage. Close to the house, a beautiful area with a swimming pool and pool house. The grounds, approximately 16 hectares, consist of a garden surrounding the house, as well as meadows and woodland.

At the heart of an estate of approximately 50 hectares, the property is set within a landscape of rolling hills and typical southern Ardèche vegetation, offering open views and a high level of privacy. Its elevated position provides an extended panorama with no direct overlooking. Located within easy reach of renowned natural and heritage sites, the setting is suitable both for private use and for a hospitality business, with convenient access while remaining away from busy roads. The 18th-century stone farmhouse offers around 900 sqm of living space. It comprises a private area of approximately 180 sqm and five independent guest units of varying sizes, accommodating up to around fifty people. The layout allows for immediate operation, including a professional kitchen. Water supply is provided by a natural spring, supplemented by a borehole and a rainwater collection system, with the option to connect to the mains water network. Sanitation is individual, via a septic tank currently in working order but requiring compliance with current regulations. A gas boiler and solar panels supply hot water and heat the private area. In addition, approximately 300 sqm of outbuildings include several structures for various uses, some of which remain to be completed or further developed. Outside, an 8 x 15 metre swimming pool with a large terrace enjoys panoramic views over the surrounding hills. Various annexes complete the property, including technical areas, storage spaces and facilities related to the current operation. Our opinion: the property offers a well-established setup for a hospitality activity, with significant capacity and existing infrastructure. The balance between private living space and independent accommodation allows for flexible use. The outbuildings and additional areas provide further potential for development or enhancement, within a natural environment that is a key asset for the long-term viability of the project.

A chateau, registered as a Historical Monument, and its outbuildings over 7 hectares of grounds on a hilltop in the Comminges region. A shady drive leads to the chateau, perched on a hilltop and surrounded by verdant grounds, which has unobstructed views of the neighbouring hillsides and the Noue Valley. Having undergone several transformations over the centuries, the building has witnessed many historical events, housed notable figures and played an important role in local life. Originally a modest fortified manor house located at the top of a hill, the chateau is made up of a medieval core, a tower house from the 14th and 15th centuries, and a two-storey dwelling built in the 17th century. In the 12th and 14th centuries, an initial keep was built with small arrow slit windows similar to the ones that still exist on its southern side. Then, between 1340 and 1390, a square tower, with a circular interior housing the staircase, was constructed in order to access the keep’s third storey, but it was not until 1662 that the chateau would be considerably expanded with the construction of a building abutting the keep. Reflecting several centuries, the chateau, facing southwest and northeast, is understated in appearance with its plaster-coated stone walls devoid of any ornamental decorations, three-sided or hipped barrel tile roofs and rectilinear windows for the most part. The varied formats of the latter enliven the buildings’ different heights, while ashlar stone is used for the chateau’s window and door surrounds as well as its quoins and red-painted wooden shutters safeguard most of its small or large-paned windows. Lastly, a verdant courtyard, bordered by walls and traversed by a pathway that is accessible via wrought-iron gates on either side, connects the dwelling with the first outbuilding, used as a garage, while two others – a barn and stable – with pointed stonework exteriors and hipped or half-hipped tile roofs extend on from the chateau itself.

A 12th-century chateau with ramparts and 15 hectares of grounds, listed as a historical monument and looking down over a valley by the Pyrenees mountains. From a bird’s-eye view, the chateau seems to be perched atop a wooded hill like a sentry looking out across the undulating landscape of France’s Couserans province. Around the chateau, there is a patchwork of gently sloping meadows, woods and fields that lines the serrated horizon of the Pyrenees mountains. Your gaze, first struck by the relief of the land, is eventually drawn to the oval form of the chateau’s enclosing wall that encircles a plain mass of barrel-tiled roofs and pale stone elevations. All aspects of this chateau give the impression of a calm, dense, unshakeable unit. As you leave the local village to approach the chateau, the modern world fades away. The road becomes a country lane and later becomes a shady track. The driveway to the chateau is flanked with oaks and beeches and edged with stone bollards crowned with orbs and linked with a chain. This driveway seems like a formal route, rigorously plotted and solemnly discreet. There is no showy gate here, but just the murmur of the wind, sunrays filtered through leaves and a rare feeling of slowly ascending to a dwelling inhabited by something other than everyday life. At last, the chateau’s facade comes into view between the trees. Plain yet welcoming, the chateau adjoins its rampart like a hand fitting into a glove. A door in an arch that cuts through the full thickness of the enclosing wall marks the entrance. Beyond this archway, you find yourself in an inner court, some of which is grassy. Here you can see different tokens of the chateau’s past: a well dug into the rock, the Romantic ruins of outhouses waiting to be brought back to life, a square tower, adjoining annexes and successive recesses of architecture that has adapted over time without ever betraying its origin. The chateau was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, it was turned into a summer holiday home. Today it is listed as a historical monument. The chateau has kept its structural coherence and residential design.
