A renovated farm with a swimming pool on wooded grounds of 1.9 hectares, 20 minutes from Toulouse, in a village near Villefranche-de-Lauragais - ref 9
A renovated farm with a swimming pool on wooded grounds of 1.9 hectares, 20 minutes from Toulouse, in a village near Villefranche-de-Lauragais.
The property is located near Toulouse, the administrative centre of the Occitanie region, endowed with an incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage, which combines the art of living with leading economic and industrial businesses. As the administrative centre of the Occitanie region, the "pink city" also stands out thanks to the excellence and variety of its educational establishments. As for the property, perched up in the heights of the Lauragais region, it is about four kilometres from the picturesque village of Villefranche-de-Lauragais, which includes all essential shops and services for daily life. In addition, via the A61 motorway, Toulouse can be reached in 25 minutes, Carcassonne in 45 minutes and Narbonne in one hour and 20 minutes.
Forming a trapezium, two sides of which measure 200 metres each, the property extends over 1.9 hectares of wooded grounds. Accessible from the road via two gates, the property contains, in the following order: a workshop, the main dwelling, a two-car garage, a saltwater swimming pool with panoramic views of the spectacular Pyrenees Mountains, a wood traversed by a path and, finally, an equestrian complex composed of horseboxes, a riding arena and enclosed fields. Designed to appear like a traditional Lauragais farm, the house, which still needs some light renovation work, also contains all the technological equipment of a modern home, such as automatic gates and doors, remote alarms, an air/water heat pump and a heated swimming pool with a motorised cover for comfort and safety. Elongated in shape, the two-storey dwelling has a total floor area of 360 m², including a portion built under the eaves, i.e. 315 m² of inhabitable floor space, while a "Tropezian-style" roof terrace extends on from the parental suite to the south. Given that the sale concerns the current SCI [property management company], which owns the premises, it is therefore recommended that potential future buyers anticipate the advantages and obligations related to the management of this legal entity.
The Dwelling
The ground floor
The front door opens onto a hallway that provides access, on the left, to the modern, entirely fitted kitchen decorated with earthenware floor tiles in coordinating patterns. From here, a large living room with a cathedral-style ceiling is bathed in abundant natural light thanks to a wide sliding glass door, while straight-plank hardwood floors surround a large fireplace, the grey-blue mantel of which contrasts nicely with the ochre tones of the stone and brick wall, and two designer radiators, connected to the heat pump, provide a modern touch for the room. In addition, this space provides unobstructed views of the landscaped garden with its eye-catching swimming pool as well as the Pyrenees Mountains further back in the distance. On the other side of the dwelling, the right side of the house includes the sleeping quarters, which contain four bedrooms symmetrically located on either side of the hallway, while a bathroom with terracotta floor tiles is located at the end of the corridor. With two lavatories, the ground floor has a total floor area of approximately 158 m².
The upstairs
The staircase connecting the two levels provides access to the mezzanine, which could be used as a study. On the right, a doorway leads to two adjacent bedrooms, the main one of which has a 9-m² "Tropezian-style" roof terrace that looks out over the grounds and provides breath-taking views of the Pyrenees Mountains. A bathroom, lavatory as well as a laundry room large enough to create a seventh bedroom here, complete this level, which has an inhabitable floor area of 111 m² that increases to 149 m² when taking into account the ...
