Property Rabastens (81)
Didier FORT, a specialist in prestigious properties and guest houses, presents a hyper-rare product. 16th Century HÔTEL PARTICULIER. Ideally located just 40 minutes from TOULOUSE, its airport, and 40 minutes from the engine city of tourism: ALBI, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site with 1.4 million visitors/year. One must immerse oneself between 1590 and 1610, estimated dates based on construction archives of this imposing hôtel particulier of 855m² of living space with its park. A legacy from a time when trade thrived in the region, the property belonged to a family descending from French nobility. At that time, large bourgeois families began to build outside the primitive limits of the ramparts and moats surrounding the town of Rabastens, thus benefiting from more light than the narrow streets of the town. A long and tall façade made of red brick from the Tarn can be seen facing the main avenues of the city. As for the entrance, it is more discreet; one must enter a small perpendicular street, with only the architecture of the entrance and its imposing carriage door hinting to passersby that a true gem surely lies behind! Once the entrance porch is passed, the magic happens; we find ourselves facing an imposing hôtel particulier nestled in a green oasis right in the city, with its courtyard and park adorned with century-old trees, shielded from view. 855m², 22 rooms, 3 levels of more than 220m², not forgetting 2 immense cellars with high vaulted ceilings, 3 large car garages with a beautiful 50m² terrace overlooking the courtyard. From the floors on each façade, one dominates the city from all angles with panoramic views of the avenues, the church, the intertwined rooftops of the city center, and other monuments up to the hills. It is unnecessary to ponder the future and potential projects for this property; it is clear that it is tailored to become a charming guest house. The vast vaulted cellars will complete the VIP aspect of the property by creating a spa and wellness area as well as a piano bar area. Additionally, in the same spirit, a project for a high-end vacation residence with its upscale apartments and private garages within the property for securely parking the guests' vehicles. The concierge's apartment will then serve the person in charge of checking in/out the vacationers. Just like abroad for a long time, it can be purchased by several families in a community. An above-ground pool in this magnificent shaded park would perfectly complete the project in this region abundant in sunshine. I’ve even thought about, given my experience in transforming properties into guest houses, to have an idea on the spot, as my clients tell me, to install a heated pool in one of the cellars for the winter season. Indeed, let us not forget that tourism in our region has a heavy impact and remains active year-round without rest, especially since Rabastens is strategically located at the center to serve this purpose, being a base camp for visitors to explore the entire region without too much travel. The site is perfect for high-end product launches, seminars, weddings, exhibitions, classical concerts... Possibility to acquire the grand piano, PLEYEL brand from 1912 (restored keys and woodwork). A beautiful and very rare safe investment! Fees are the responsibility of the seller.
