Castres
Nestled at the foot of the Montagne Noire, in a peaceful and private setting, this Riviera-style architect-designed residence, built in 1965, sits at the heart of a fully enclosed, landscaped 2.5-hectare park, meticulously designed and planted by a renowned Toulouse-based company, responsible for several prestigious parks in the south of Tarn. Its exceptional location, surrounded by nature, ensures breathtaking panoramic views while remaining in close proximity to local amenities.
A Unique and Charming Maison de Maître
This elegant south-facing maison de maître, all on one level and offering approximately 400 sqm of living space, combines high-quality features with remarkable comfort. The traditional architecture, crafted from locally shaped stone and concrete rubble, reflects the region's artisanal expertise.
Inside, noble materials are showcased, such as the Point de Hongrie parquet flooring found in the grand living room, the lounge, and the main hallway, along with custom-made woodwork and four stunning fireplaces, including a monumental one in the living room, infusing each space with warmth and elegance.
The living areas are bathed in exceptional natural light thanks to large sliding pocket doors, providing direct access to the terrace and the park, perfect for outdoor dining. High ceilings throughout enhance the sense of space and comfort.
A Refined and Functional Layout
The house is thoughtfully organized to combine privacy with conviviality:
A vast 80 to 90 sqm living room with a built-in library.
A study and a large dining room adorned with bespoke woodwork.
A spacious 25 sqm master bedroom with dressing room, boudoir, private bathroom, and WC.
Four additional bedrooms in a separate wing, served by three bathrooms and five WCs in total.
The design of the house ensures easy, fluid living on a single level.
Outstanding Outdoor Features
The true highlight of the property lies in its beautifully landscaped and enclosed park, offering uninterrupted views of the Montagne Noire. Here, tranquility, privacy, and natural beauty reign supreme.
The 12 x 6-meter swimming pool, featuring a Roman staircase, blends seamlessly into the landscaped surroundings and is secured for safety. The adjacent pool house, complete with a summer lounge and kitchen, provides a perfect space for outdoor entertaining. A spacious, detached garage houses the pool’s technical equipment, and an electric gate secures the property.
