Hidden from view in the heart of the Tarn countryside, this characterful estate offers a timeless escape. Between Gaillac and Rabastens, concealed behind a majestic avenue of oaks, this elegant late 18th-century residence nestles within a 2.3-hectare landscaped park, completely secluded from view. From the moment you arrive, the tone is set. Your gaze wanders among the diverse tree species that make up the park: oaks, lindens, ash, acacias, mulberry trees, plane trees, and a centuries-old olive tree, a true witness to the past. A stream meanders peacefully through the property, spanned by a small stone bridge, enhancing the bucolic and intimate character of the place. The estate comprises over 650 sqm of buildings, including 463 sqm of living space, currently partially operated as a fully functional and renovated bed and breakfast and gîte, offering a rare opportunity for immediate business ownership. The main house, with approximately 260 sqm of living space, combines spaciousness, authenticity, and a welcoming atmosphere. The living areas are arranged around a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, and a veranda opening onto the surrounding nature. This veranda, approximately 90 sqm, extends naturally onto a terrace overlooking the pool area, a true invitation to the good life. In addition, three beautiful adjoining rooms currently serve as an office, dining room, and reading room, but can easily be repurposed to suit different needs. Upstairs, two distinct atmospheres prevail. A private section houses three bedrooms and a bathroom, while the guest area offers two superb suites with generous proportions, designed for the comfort and independence of guests. A separate entrance provides independent access to this professional area. The property also includes a fully renovated, independent 85 sq m gîte with a private terrace offering complete privacy and unobstructed views of the Gaillac hills. A third independent, ground-floor suite with its own terrace further enhances the accommodation capacity. Outside, the grounds unfold like a natural haven. The swimming pool, bordered by a spacious wooden deck and a Moroccan-inspired lounge area, blends harmoniously into the landscape. It's a true place for contemplation and relaxation, where time seems to stand still. Existing outbuildings allow for the creation of a summer kitchen, bathrooms, and utility spaces. Finally, several outbuildings and unfinished spaces - a former wine cellar, back kitchen, cellars, workshop, and garage - offer nearly 200 sq m of additional space, suggesting numerous possibilities for expansion or business development. Rare for its setting, remarkable grounds, and turnkey operation, this rural property combines the art of country living with easy access, just 35 minutes from Toulouse and 20 minutes from Albi. Features include an 11x5m chlorine swimming pool, electric heating, a fireplace, and pellet stoves in the suites and gîte. Access to the A68 motorway is 5 minutes away. Schools, shops, and transport are 8 minutes away. Gaillac and Rabastens are 15 minutes away, and Albi is 20 minutes away. Toulouse is 35 minutes away. Energy rating: E / Climate rating: B.
