Tarn : Castelnau de Montmirail magnificent stone house completely renovated, with garden and garage.
This exceptional property is located in the beautiful Occitanie region, in Castelmau de Montmirail in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle. This village is a Tarn bastide, a magnificent medieval town that proudly dominates the Tarn valley. This incredible 270m2 building once belonged to the hunting reserve of the Count of Toulouse, and dates back to the 1250s. At first glance, there's no mistaking the history on display here. Situated in the historic centre of the village, it reveals itself, its ashlar facades enhanced by a charming garden with pathways, flower beds and landscaping, and even a charming gazebo.
This property is a perfect illustration of the splendour of this highly sought-after corner of Occitanie, in the heart of what is known as the Golden Triangle. A little more detail now.
In the heart of the village, tucked away in a little street, it reveals itself at first glance, giving every indication that we are in the presence of an exceptional property: exposed stone facade, beautiful woodwork, intimate landscaped garden with space here and there to stroll, gazebo, we can't wait to discover this beautiful residence.
We've already marvelled at the breathtaking panoramic view over the entire valley!
Once through the wrought-iron gates, we're in a timeless world! Charmed by the beautiful flower-lined driveways adorned with sculptures, we enter through a custom-made magisterial door! The entrance hall is even bigger than we expected, and sets the tone. With its 30m2, it could easily become a living room.
This central room leads to the 19m2 kitchen, which is wonderfully luminous thanks to its creamy white and blue tones, and is perfectly equipped! A 21m2 library adjoins the kitchen and opens onto the side terrace. Back in the entrance hall, we return to an absolutely incredible room, a 40m2 lounge with a masterful fireplace the like of which has rarely been seen! Everything here is magical, from the lighting to the French ceiling. A wooden door that takes us back to days gone by, with a huge key, leads us up a spiral stone staircase to the tower.
A vestibule with toilet is nearby. From here you can access the laundry room and its precious spaces! Back in the entrance hall, before heading upstairs, we take a short diversions to the cellar, which is divided into two sections for storage on one side and for good bottles on the other.
We now return to the first floor, which begins with a beautiful central room on the landing, measuring 21 m2 and suitable for a bedroom.
Then, all around, the magnificent 22m2 en suite bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. A new 21 m2 bedroom with breathtaking views over the valley faces a separate bathroom. Finally, a last bedroom of 20m2 adjoins a 44m2 relaxation room with a balcony overlooking the garden. This room could be used as a new bedroom, a library or any other space you wish.
All the woodwork is double-glazed with mosquito netting, the attic is insulated and the heating is provided by a radiant panel heater.
A further bonus is the garage and outside wc.
And now it's time to daydream, in the garden with its paved paths, its graceful gazebo, its central covered dining area in the form of a pergola, and its many species of plants that take us on a journey.
This corner of paradise, seductive and warm, awaits you in our beautiful Occitanie region, in the heart of the famous Gaillac vineyards.
Location:
10 minutes from Gaillac, Castelnau de Montmiral is a former lookout point and impregnable fortress, now a haven of peace.
A medieval town proudly overlooking the Tarn valley. Seen from the inside, the village, listed as one of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages in France’, justifies this impression of an impregnable fortress. The typical charm of its facades, its arcaded square and its pillory bear witness to a history and heritage that are still very much present. And that's not all: nature lovers can discover the magnificent footpaths and viewpoints on foot, by bike and even on horseback for a walk through time...
Castelnau-de-Montmiral is a rural commune with a population of 1,050, exposed to an altered oceanic climate. It has a remarkable natural heritage, and four natural areas of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest, including the Grésigne forest.
The department of Tarn will welcome you and you will discover and adopt its culture of good living anchored in its Occitan roots. You'll also enjoy this department with its 1,000 faces, its emblematic museums, such as the Toulouse Lautrec Museum in Albi, Goya in Castres and Dom Robert in Sorèze, and its nearby lakes and leisure centres.
Toulouse airport is 50 minutes away, and Albi is 30 minutes.
