manor for sale Albi, France

A remarkable property for events, accommodation and gastronomy in a corner of France renowned for its natural beauty and art of living, 40 minutes from Toulouse and Montauban. Tucked away among vineyards and fields, the property stands out for its balance and harmony. A long driveway lined with trimmed hedges and punctuated with stone statues leads to a neatly designed court of honour, which draws your gaze to the main house. This edifice, a grand dwelling with a ground floor and first floor, has an even design and is long and rectangular in form. Its elevations combine brickwork with pale rendering. They are punctuated with a harmonious series of windows fitted with painted shutters and spaced out in a majestic arrangement. The house is crowned with a tiled roof that completes the edifice with understated elegance. Tall trees, including slender cypresses, age-old plane trees and imposing cedars, create a protective environment around the main dwelling. Spread out around the edifice are several outhouses, including a huge reception hall set back from the grand dwelling, a brick lodge and, opposite the latter, a building that is bathed in natural light and that lends itself to a range of possibilities. A former dovecote, converted into a dwelling, is more vertical in form and, in line with it, a workshop and boiler room edge the parkland. Among this series of buildings and natural spaces, the grand house stands proudly as the property’s centrepiece – the jewel in its crown – and bears witness to a refined art of living that endures today.
