Overview

Nestled in the golden embrace of Occitanie’s rolling hills, where the air hums with the scent of wild lavender and the distant chime of Mirepoix’s medieval bells, this magnificent estate unfolds like a love letter to timeless elegance. Here, on nearly two acres of whispering woodland and sun-dappled gardens, a sanctuary awaits—one where modern luxury dances with the soul of the past, all just ten minutes from the cobblestone charm of a village where time moves like honey.

The main residence, a masterpiece of thoughtful restoration, greets you with a grand kitchen that spills onto a shaded terrace—where morning coffee is sipped beneath the dappled light of ancient oaks, and evening wine glows amber in the fading sun. Step inside, and the heart of the home beats in the great living room, where a crackling fireplace casts flickering shadows across original beams, each one bearing the quiet stories of generations. Three en-suite bedrooms offer retreat, including a sumptuous master suite with its own balcony-terrace, a private perch where the wind carries the rustle of leaves and the distant murmur of the pool’s heated waters below.

Beyond the main house, a guest house—equally enchanting—unfolds with its own rhythm. A sunlit living space flows into a fitted kitchen, where laughter lingers over shared meals, while upstairs, four bedrooms (one a serene en-suite) promise rest beneath sloping eaves. A hidden attic, like a treasure chest of possibilities, waits to cradle memories yet to be made. Nearby, a self-contained apartment offers still more space: a seamless blend of kitchen, living area, and bedroom, where every detail has been considered, from the double-glazed windows that hush the world outside to the central heating that wraps the home in warmth.

The land itself is a living tapestry—manicured gardens give way to wild woodland, where paths invite quiet strolls beneath a canopy of green. The heated swimming pool, a sapphire mirror beneath the Occitan sky, is framed by a sprawling terrace, the perfect stage for al fresco feasts under a sky ablaze with stars. Practical magic abounds: a stone-walled garage, sturdy and timeless; a workshop humming with potential; a cellar cool and deep, where fine wines might age like secrets. Every inch of this estate has been reimagined with care—insulation whispers of efficiency, gas and wood heating promise comfort in every season, and the double-glazed windows frame the world outside like living paintings.

Come, step through the wrought-iron gates, and let the story begin.
