Opis:

This fabulous 7-bedroom Maison de Maître (or Gentleman's Residence) is just 35 minutes from Toulouse, with both ski slopes and beaches about an hour's drive. The house sits in just under 20 acres of parkland with a private beach on to the River Ariège.




The property is 45 minutes from Toulouse International Airport, an hour from the ski pistes and an hour and 10 minutes from the beaches of the Mediterranean. This fine residence, with habitable space of 470 m2, has 13 principal rooms and sits in a park of 7.74 hectares (19.13 acres).




The grounds are spectacular, with private access to a beach on the River Ariège and having many majestic, 300-year-old trees, ancient bridleways, an orchard, a secure swimming pool, an old golf course and tennis court, all of which give this property a very privileged character.




One of the key features of the property are the inter-connecting reception rooms each of which has fine proportions, seasoned parquet floors and graced with original fireplaces and decorative woodwork, and, most important of all, a panoramic, Chinese-inspired mural which is listed.




Throughout, this very special house there is a sense of serenity and light, generous-sized rooms, modern comfort with a cachet of old-world charm and grounds worthy of a house of distinction.




Toulouse is one of France's most vibrant cities. It is often referred to as 'La Ville Rose' (the pink city), due to the rose-coloured buildings which give the city its famous warm glow. The city centre is a compact warren of winding cobbled streets and is a joy to explore on foot, especially since few cars brave the narrow streets. The Place du Capitole is the heart of the city and there can be few better places to watch the world go by.




The Canal du Midi runs through the city and this famous waterway adds a tranquility to the city. A gentle journey (by bike, foot or boat) along the tree-lined banks and a picnic provide the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle.




One of the most attractive aspects of Toulouse is its position. Both Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts are accessible, as are the Pyrenees. Spain and the Basque Country. Toulouse International Airport is 7km from the city centre and Paris is only 4hrs away by TGV.
