Midi-Pyrénées, Tarn, Dourgne, France

On the heights of Dourgne, with a remarkable view over the Tarn plain, lies this exceptional property. What a surprise to discover it, imposing and isolated, as soon as you step through the gates, time stops. This magnificent farmhouse immediately catches our eye, built in a half-U shape, it offers a wealth of possibilities.

The main entrance is via the east wing, where we are greeted by beautiful hydrangea beds. We cross the threshold and immediately fall under the spell of a living room comprising a 27m2 dining room and a 15m2 sitting room. The house has been tastefully renovated to a high standard, with terracotta floor tiles, exposed beams, a large fireplace and double-glazed wooden windows. The hallway then leads to the 23m2 kitchen, which is perfectly equipped and functional, with a Godin piano under a vaulted ceiling and brickwork inside. This room is decorated in warm wood and olive green tones, a beautiful harmony, and opens onto the terrace to the rear, where you can enjoy unforgettable moments lulled by the melody of the water thanks to the small pool nearby. Still on the ground floor, there is a 19 m2 half-timbered bedroom, a shower room, a toilet and a utility room.
This is followed by a huge 136 m2 workshop that was previously a stable. This space houses the heating system: electric heat pump, as well as a wood-fired boiler if you wish. There is plenty of room for storage and conversion, and a 43 m2 garage adjoins this space.
The first floor benefits from the same quality finish, with everything renovated with taste and attention to detail. There are 5 bedrooms on this level, including one of 28m2 with a mezzanine and velux window - what a lovely surprise! Then there's a 16m2 bathroom in shades of ochre, a delightful combination of half-timbering, marble and slate for the walk-in shower. And finally, a breathtaking 136 m2 room that could be dedicated to music, dance, yoga or exhibitions .... Floating parquet flooring, velux windows, indirect lighting, heating with a high-performance pellet stove, it's incredible! This masterly room meets safety standards and has an exit to the garage below.
The house is supplied by a very good quality spring, with a 3000 litre tank and filter system in the technical part of the workshop.
On the outside, 9058 m2 of enclosed land surrounds the buildings, where you can graze a few horses if you wish, as the property is equipped for this as described above.
It's easy to see that this is a rare and precious property, set in a remarkable natural and cultural heritage site, a haven of peace, so sought-after in our beautiful Occitanie region.
