Charming 19th C Maison de Maitre/ Manor House for sale set in lovely countryside and ideally located near several pretty villages.

The property was built in 1810. In 1903, the property was given to the hospitals of Moissac to house children. It was also used as a hideout for resistance fighters during the Second World War and then returned to private ownership in the 1950s.

The rectangular main building has three levels. The whole is topped by a substantial roof, allowing the third floor, which is partly mansard-roofed, to offer beautiful volumes while maintaining a comfortable height. Unusually shaped oculi provide soft light to the rooms on this floor.
The south-east-facing main façade is neo-Palladian in style, bringing rigour and allure to the whole, without forgetting the Venetian touch that we also find inside through the decoration, like a signature desired by the owners of the property!
With a living area of approximately 730 sqm, the distribution is as follows:

Ground floor: a vast hall runs through the entire building and gives access to the wide staircase leading to the upper floors. The floors are in terracotta with, in certain rooms, a very beautiful oak floor pattern. The ceiling heights are over 3 metres which contributes to the lovely proportions of the property. The whole house has oak door and window frames with double glazing, and the old cast-iron espagnolettes have been preserved.
On one side of the hall, there is a kitchen, a living room with fireplace and a suite.
On the other side of the hall is a large dining room and another suite.
The 10 vast suites in the house have all been fitted out to offer a bedroom of more than 25 sqm, an independent living room of about ten sqm and bathrooms of a substantial surface. We have beautiful independent spaces, like a small house within a house. The living area on this level is approximately 250 sqm.

First floor: Four suites and a bedroom with its own shower room. This represents a living area of approximately 250 sqm. The hall, in the same configuration as on the ground floor, is in a central position and crosses, and thanks to the presence of large load-bearing walls, offers perfect acoustics to the occupants of this floor. At the end of the hall, on the side of the main facade, a loggia, a fully-fledged exterior room, very characteristic of Palladian style buildings, offers a view of the park.

Second floor: At the top of the staircase there is a terracotta brick arch with a small, intimate sitting room created under the vault and in the recess that follows i. Looking up there is a magnificent pegged roof structure of large section and at the end of the large hall, which also serves as a games room, you will see a second loggia offering, just like the first, a view and a space for relaxation. Two suites and three bedrooms have been fitted out, always with maximum comfort and careful decoration. As these rooms are in the attic, the atmosphere is somewhat different with little nooks and crannies created by these technical constraints but in turn this brings a tremendous charm!

The property sits on approximately 1.6 hectares (2.47 acres) of land, which is fully enclosed with an automatic gate at the entrance. The house is strategically positioned on the highest part of the grounds near the rear end, preserving views and space from the terrace. The garden is thoughtfully designed, combining elements of both English and French gardens. Gravel paths wind through the property, providing a pleasant environment for strolling and taking in the beauty of old trees, including cedars of Lebanon and oaks.

The property features a spacious swimming pool with a pool house equipped with a toilet and shower. Access to the pool area is through a small wrought iron gate located next to the French garden with boxwood paths.

Wine cellar.
2 garages for 12 vehicles.
Professional kitchen with air conditioning in the basement
