Château for sale in Peyrole, Tarn, Midi-Pyrenees, France

Set in an extraordinarily beautiful setting in the heart of the Tarn countryside, few properties compare to this elegant estate. Comprising a principal Maison de Maître, a guest house and further outbuildings, the parkland extends to some 43 hectares with a private lake and woodland to create a truly idyllic enclave in one of France's most beautiful regions.

Approached from either of two entrance drives with electric gates, the Maison de Maître sits in an imposing position on the land with views over the surrounding courtyard and with careful planting to draw one's eye to the wider gardens and grounds. Expertly renovated with a careful and tasteful eye, the 'main house' boasts elegant living rooms with beautiful features including panelled walls, open fireplaces, and exquisite flooring (as well as modern comforts including under-floor heating).

With a beautiful entrance hall that runs through the heart of the home, the hall leads on to several of the ground-floor rooms. The kitchen has been beautifully fitted with bespoke cabinetry and opens onto a large integrated informal dining room with double doors opening into the courtyard as well as benefiting from a back-kitchen/utility room. The more formal dining room boasts impressive features including a grand fireplace and elegantly panelled walls. The drawing room and library are equally impressive, with plenty of natural light to create a comfortable place to relax. On the ground floor there is also an additional office (or bedroom number 5) with a washroom/toilet, a further room leading from the library is urrently used as an office.

The impressive renovation continues up a marvellous staircase to the sleeping quarters where attention to detail has ensured that there is an effortless blend of timeless character with modern comforts. The principal bedroom suite is remarkable, with lovely features including fitted wardrobes, a charming fireplace, a generous fitted dressing room, and completed by a large bathroom suite. The second bedroom is still well sized with a bathroom with a shower/jacuzzi bath. The third bedroom – with exposed beams – benefits from a shower room and dressing room; whilst the fourth bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower/bathroom. On the second staircase are the fifth and sixth bedrooms with beautiful wooden floors, and each enjoying a shower/bathroom.

The interiors are only supplemented by the impressive immediate surrounds which includes gorgeous travertine terracing, (some covered), formal gardens, and a picture-perfect courtyard where one can truly embrace the quality of the exterior, a charming chapel, and more.

Further accommodation is afforded in an equally enchanting guest house (Maison des Amis) which is conveniently positioned for privacy whilst also not feeling removed from the Maison de Maître. This extra accommodation also benefits from a wonderful outlook and poses as a perfect place for visiting friends, family and guests. On the ground floor one will find a generous open-plan drawing room and kitchen with delightful features including exposed wooden beams, as well as a convenient back-kitchen/utility room. Upstairs one will find four-bedrooms in total with associated, equally well-appointed bathrooms.

The property is served by fibre and satellite broadband and in addition to WiFi, the main house has a centralised ethernet system with sockets in the main rooms.

Within the gardens is an enchanting path leading to the large swimming pool (8 x 15m) and its enclosed travertine terrace and classical-styled pavilion; an idyllic place to take in the environment and with spectacular views into the distance. The grounds and parkland extend beyond with an enviable array of regional flora and fauna throughout large lawned areas, woodland, and beyond.

For those looking for a remarkable estate with an undeniable grandeur which is effortlessly blended with elegance, look no further.
