Natural Stone Country Home, Pool, Views, 1h15 from Toulouse

Property Description

A French country life dream, designed by a professional interior decorator, this beautiful country house with open views and a swimming pool. Sold fully furnished, it offers all the comfort needed to enjoy holidays in a relaxed atmosphere. Located just 5 minutes from a village with shops and a train station, with no overlooking neighbours and at the end of a no-through country lane, it guarantees peace and privacy. The house offers 146 m² of living space. On the ground floor, you will find a warm living room with fireplace and beautiful chestnut parquet flooring, a central entrance with WC and cloakroom, as well as a spacious, fully equipped kitchen opening onto a private terrace at the rear of the house and the pool area. On the first floor, two master suites of 24 m² and 31 m² each have their own bathroom/shower room/WC and plenty of elegantly integrated storage, with doors sourced from antique shops. Throughout the house, every decorative and hardware detail has been carefully selected, making it a true pleasure to discover. On the second floor, there is a third, attic, bedroom of 16.5 m² floor space, benefiting from good ceiling height throughout most of the room, a shower room/WC, and a fourth large bedroom of 27 m² floor space, currently used as a cinema room / lounge. The 55 m² basement, which houses the boiler and pool equipment, offers additional generous storage space. The 9 x 5 m saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by a wooden terrace installed in 2024, enjoys uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. It is equipped with a safety cover and an automatic salt and pH dosing system. The fully enclosed garden is designed for easy maintenance and includes an orchard with a variety of fruit trees. From a technical point of view, the house was fully renovated in 2005. It is equipped with a gas central heating boiler, a well-insulated slate roof from 2005, exposed stone walls, and wooden joinery with single glazing. The septic system needs to be brought up to standard. Ideally located on the border between the Tarn and Aveyron departments, it's just 5 minutes from the main road between Rodez and Albi, and 5 minutes from the village of Tanus (grocery store, pharmacy, bank, SNCF train station, school), as well as 6 km from Pampelonne (bakery, grocery store, library). Carmaux, with its restaurants, shops, and lively Friday market, is 15 minutes away, and Albi, at 25 minutes, is famous for its red-brick cathedral, the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, and its historic centre listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby, you will also find the Viaur Valley with its many walking trails, Monestiés, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Rodez (with airport), and Belcastel. Toulouse Airport is accessible in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
