Magnificent & Peaceful Toulouse Home with Indoor Swimming Pool & Private Gardens

Property Description

Overview: XIXth century house, originally a vegetable farm, beautifully renovated with all modern comfort, in immaculate condition. Surrounded by a large garden (nearly 3000 m²), featuring 4 bedrooms (and possibility to arrange an apartment in addition), a winter garden and an indoor swimming pool. The house consists of a “main area” used for residential purposes and an “extension area” currently used for entertainment and professional purposes. The main house is facing south, with a large terrace to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

Location: the house is located south west of Toulouse, near the charming towns of Cugnaux and Tournefeuille (5 min away). 5 min from one of the best known golf courses of the region (La Ramée), itself next to a large park with nautical sports and many enjoyable walks. Mediterranean sea is only 1hr and 30 min away. Ski resorts within 2 hours.

Access: Toulouse downtown can be reached via public transport (trains running every 2 min – train ride approx. 15 min - metro station with free car park located 10 minutes away). The area is like a small village with most facilities (food, medical services, restaurants, etc.) within 15 min walking. Very easy access from the surrounding highways, but also sheltered in a residential area with traffic restrictions to maintain quietness. It is ideally located for international travelers, 12 min from the airport but clear from air traffic and extremely quiet. Carcassonne airport is about one hour away, and Lourdes airport is accessible within 2 hours.

Interior: 4 bedrooms (the main one with a large bathroom en suite) from 11 to 20 m², one dressing room, 3 lounges (one of which over 40 m²), one large kitchen with dining room, a separate dining room for more special occasions, it is possible to add one or two more bedrooms if needed.
As part of the house extension (but continuous with the house and accessible from it) is a separate construction (renovated barn) offering a large office space (45 m²) and a lounge currently used for entertainment (40 m²). This extension, which has its own water (hot and cold) and an independent access, can accommodate a professional activity separated from the residential area, or become an apartment for residential purposes, or even used for season rental (revenue generation), representing over 100 m². The house is heated with a recently installed heat pump and via a high quality (Godin) stove in the extension.
Air conditioning was recently installed in both the main area and the extension. The improved energy efficiency has resulted in a C rating for DPE.
Completely renovated with all modern comfort, it has also kept its beautiful mid-XIX century style with the classic brick & pebble walls typical of this area. In addition, a wine cellar and a kitchen backroom provide for additional amenities.
The indoor heated swimming pool (approx. 10 x 5 m²) comes with a lovely winter garden where precious plants can be hosted during the cold season.

Exterior: A fabulous 2,930 m² park (unique in a large city), with abundant fruit (more than 10 different sorts) and ornamental trees, features automatic watering from own borehole. The large indoor garage can accommodate up to 3 cars and the house is also equipped with a double kennel for dog lovers. The main terrace, with lots of space for enjoying the afternoon sun or have outside meals, is extended by a large barbecue and a small Japanese garden. 3 specific ancillary buildings serve for the pool (as a poll house) and the garden.
All shutters and wooden doors were inspected, changed when necessary and repainted in 2018. Main roof was inspected, scrubbed and treated in 2018.
The garden is completely surrounded by a wall. Two gates provide access to the main house and to the extension. The former has a video system to welcome visitors. The latter is automatically controlled. In total, up to 10 cars can be parked within the property.

Additional details: the house is fully equipped for surveillance, with an alarm system connected to a specialized company also monitoring such events as general electricity supply failure for instance. Air conditioning can be reverted to heating and be set remotely via internet.

Revenue generation: the house extension could be transformed into an independent apartment to generate significant revenue (seasonal or permanent).
