Castelnau de Montmiral (Tarn) : Former hunting lodge : 675 000 €

An extremely attractive former hunting lodge set in an elevated position on the edge of the Gresigne Forest, 5 minutes from the bastide village of Castelnau de Montmiral, 15 minutes to Gaillac and 50 minutes to Toulouse.

This traditional stone property has been completely refurbished within the last year to an exceptionally high standard and is situated up a private driveway, on the edge of a hamlet, as well as the largest oak forest in Europe, with extensive views from the house and the terraces.

This light and bright house has oil fired central heating and in various areas electric heating/air conditioning units. The grounds are mainly laid to lawns with several terraces and wonderful mature trees, also there is a paddock and stabling for 2 horses.

From the front terrace the large half glazed, entrance door opens into a travatine marble tiled hallway : 2.8m x 2.8m off which is the downstairs cloakroom, with WC and basin and shower.

To the right of hallway, through a half glazed door, is the kitchen/breakfast room : 5.3m x 3.6m with a range of fitted oak units and granite worksurfaces, including double ceramic butlers sink, built in fridge, dishwasher, range cooker and concealed lighting. There is also an open fireplace feature for an indoor barbeque next to to the cooker. The granite topped breakfast table is included. Double French windows open on to the raised side dining terrace.

To the left of the hallway, up two steps, is the dining room with original terracotta tiles : 4.5m x 3.2m which leads through to the large sitting room.

The sitting room has double aspect windows and again the original terracotta tiled floor : 6.4m x 4.7m with feature fireplace, wooden beam over, a Supra wood burning stove is installed. Original stone evier and two window seats overlooking the front terrace and views beyond. A large picture window overlooks the side garden.

From the sitting room a door leads up the stairs off which to the left is the large storage/utility room : 6.5m x 3m with plumbing for the washing machine and built in sink, there is also a door to the side garden.

All the floors upstairs are wood. At the top of the stairs to the left is the current master bedroom suite which is housed in a modern extension to the rest of the house with large picture windows overlooking the gardens. This area could be made self contained as a possible separate apartment with independant access.
The total area is 8m x 4.8m with ensuite fully tiled shower room and two built in vanity units/basins, WC and bidet.

To the left at the top of the stairs is the study area : 3.5m x 3.2m with built in cupboard off which is the family bathroom, tiled, with bath and shower cradle over, WC and vanity unit with basin and heated towel rail.

Outside there are various terraced areas including surrounding the pool which benefits from a sliding panelled cover (known as an Abri). The pool, 8m x 4m, runs off a salt filtration system.

Our view on the property ‘it is really rare to find a house that has been so sympathetically restored using quality fittings - this home would be ideal for a family as it is so close to a village with post office, doctors, shops, restaurants and school and offers good sized accommodation - as for the views - well they are just magical and the birdsong has to be heard!‘
