This gorgeous stone renovated farmhouse in a little hamlet between the towns of Lavaur and Puylaurens, is the perfect spot to appreciate the beauty and peacefulness of the Tarn countryside. Amongst fields, hills and woods, with views to the Pyrenees and Montagne Noire this is the French dream you have been searching for.

The property is currently divided into two separate houses with one functioning as a successful gîte and the other spacious accommodation for the owners. Future owners could use the whole property for themselves as there are internal connections between the houses or rent the larger part of the property as the gîte and live in the smaller side of the house.

The main house has a recently installed, bespoke, modern kitchen with high quality appliances (Smeg, Liebherr, Siemens, Franke). There is plenty of space for preparing meals on the durable Dekton worktops. An impressive gas range is complimented by a DeManincor woodburning oven with hot plate to give the kitchen a true traditional farmhouse feel. A spacious living and dining room with high ceilings, a wood burning insert and doors out to the terrace, is the ideal spot to host friends and family. There is access from the living area into the barn that offers tons of potential for any future owner. Currently used for storage and car parking there is over 65m2 of space that could serve as a covered dining area/function space and/or a summer kitchen.

Continuing through the main house, from the kitchen there is access to a downstairs toilet, a cellar and the boiler room with the property heated via an oil-fired boiler and a thermodynamic water heater that provides hot water for the whole property. In the centre of the property a large room that previously was used as an art studio offers the possibility of a ground floor bedroom or independent studio, with adjoining toilet. This room also provides access to the gîte on the ground floor and an additional storage room/cellar.

The first floor of the main house opens to a spacious mezzanine that could serve as an office, library or snug. There is a family bathroom and three very generous bedrooms, two of which have the possibility of creating an en suite. A large attic room of over 60 square metres is currently used for storage but could very easily be converted into a games room or even additional bedrooms.

The ground floor of the gîte has its own entrance on the other side of the house, ideal for allowing guests to come and go as they please. There is a large kitchen diner and a good-sized living room, perfect for a family of four to relax when not in the pool or exploring the local area. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The garden is a real highlight of the property. There are plenty of areas to relax or dine in the shade or sun depending on the time of year. There is additional car parking space with large gates that could be made automatic if required. The garden and terrace face south with stunning views over the nearby rolling hills and even more impressive vistas of the Pyrenees in the distance. The pool is 10x4m and the perfect spot to relax on a warm day, a pool house with covered terrace area is great for those who want an extra bit of shade on a sunny day. Below the pool is a pétanque pitch with lights, ideal for an evening game of boules.

The property is located in a small hamlet with the nearest amenities in the nearby towns of Puylaurens or Saint Paul Cap de Joux, both 10 minutes' drive away. The popular, pretty, riverside town of Lavaur is around 15 minutes away and has a selection of restaurants, cafés and shops. If you are travelling further afield, Toulouse with its cultural attractions, medical facilities and airport is under an hour's drive. The area surrounding the property boasts plenty of quiet roads and tracks to explore on foot or by bike, perfect for soaking in the peaceful rural atmosphere that this property and part of the world has to offer. This is a real gem and offers a real slice of the French dream you have been looking for. Book a visit now.
