Chateau in Gaillac

TARN – BETWEEN TOULOUSE AND ALBI

In south-western France, near Gaillac, a few kilometers from Albi and its episcopal city, and less than an hour from Toulouse international airport, stands this château in a dominant position.

A wealthy local family had this elegant property and its outbuildings built in the 19th century.

A pretty cour d’honneur allows visitors to step back and admire the characteristic Second Empire architecture. The main facade, framed by two brick corner turrets with slate roofs, features a triangular pediment in the center.

The residence faces a vast, original outbuilding, with half-timbering, decorated walls and a sculpted oculus. It currently houses a large garage, the former 100m² stable, an orangery and two large unused rooms.

The entrance hall has a magnificent staircase.
Superb parquet flooring in the living rooms and bedrooms, cement tiles and terracotta floor tiles in the living areas, high ceilings, functional fireplaces and plenty of space.

The ground floor features a cosy living room with fireplace, a vast dining room, a kitchen with an outside access, and various technical rooms. A 66m² janitor’s apartment or professional space, with independent access, completes this level.

The first floor is currently divided into two areas.
A reception and guest area, comprising two magnificent lounges, two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and a separate toilet.

A private area comprising the family bedrooms, including the master bedroom with bathroom/shower and toilet, and a dressing room. Two other bedrooms are separated by a shared shower room.

Finally, the top floor consists of a number of rooms, all of which open onto the outside and have sufficient headroom to enable these 330m² of unused space to be converted.

The 4-hectare grounds are all in one piece, with meadows and hedges on a gentle slope overlooking the surrounding hills. Century-old specimen cedars, chestnuts and oaks seem to watch over the property.
The vast terrace overlooking the 10 x 5 swimming pool is perfectly oriented for enjoying this bucolic setting.

The house is in very good condition and benefits from a generous amount of natural light thanks to its large windows. It is located in the immediate vicinity of amenities and offers all modern comforts.
