A Whispering 23-Hectare Haven: Where Time Stands Still in Occitanie

Beyond a grand wrought-iron gate—guarded by the stoic grace of 300-year-old umbrella pines—lies a world where the rhythm of life slows to the ripple of a pond and the rustle of wind through ancient oaks. Here, in the golden heart of Occitanie, just 45 minutes from Toulouse-Blagnac’s private wings, a 23-hectare estate unfolds like a living painting, where every brushstroke is nature’s own.

The manor house, a masterpiece of quiet elegance, welcomes you through a sunlit entrance hall into spaces designed for both grandeur and intimacy. The living room spills onto a terrace overlooking the mirror-still pond, where ducks glide and fish dart beneath the surface—a tableau framed by your morning coffee. Nearby, the office hums with potential, while the chef’s kitchen, resplendent with modern artistry, beckons culinary adventures. A dining room waits for laughter-laden feasts, and below, a wine cellar cradles vintages worthy of the estate’s timeless spirit. Five bedrooms, each with its own sanctuary of a bathroom, promise rest beneath vaulted ceilings or starlit skylights, while a double living room upstairs offers a retreat for quiet reflection or lively debate.

Two guest houses, each a jewel of hospitality, stand ready with their own kitchens, living spaces, and two bedrooms apiece—perfect for visiting dignitaries or a writer’s solitary retreat. The heated pool, a sapphire centerpiece, is embraced by a sun-drenched deck and a pool house of effortless sophistication: a bar for champagne toasts, a kitchen for al fresco banquets, and restrooms that ensure every gathering flows as smoothly as the estate’s own spring-fed lake. This tranquil body of water, a silent provider, nourishes the pond and gardens, its banks lined with trails for dawn strolls or twilight rides.

For the equestrian soul, five stalls stand empty in the stable, their doors open to rolling paddocks where horses already graze in the dappled shade. Three barns, a workshop, and garages for eight vehicles—plus a tractor’s shelter—hint at a property built for both passion and practicality. The woodland, a cathedral of towering pines and whispering oaks, offers firewood for winter’s hearth and paths for summer’s wanderings, while the tennis court awaits a match beneath the Occitan sun.

Here, the climate bestows eight months of garden living, where lavender and rosemary perfume the air, and the only clock is the shifting light over the lake. This is more than an estate; it is a legacy wrapped in 23 hectares of serenity, where every sunrise gilds the pines and every sunset paints the pond in molten gold. For those who seek not just a home, but a sanctuary where time bends to the will of beauty—your kingdom awaits.
