Description
SAINTE CROIX - Nestled halfway between Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel, just ten minutes north of the UNESCO-listed episcopal city, this superb 19th-century stone farmhouse embodies all the charm and authenticity of the Tarn's heritage.
Entirely restored between 2016 and 2024 with great taste and quality materials, it offers around 270 m² of living space in peaceful surroundings extending over more than two hectares, with beautiful open views over a lake and the surrounding countryside.
The property comprises a main house of approximately 135 m² and an independent gîte of 133 m², both on one level.
The main house features a spacious 58 m² living room with an open, fully fitted kitchen, four bedrooms, a shower room, a separate WC, an entrance hall, a utility room, and a storeroom.
Adjoining this, a garage and a barn offer exciting potential for further conversion.
The south-west and east-facing terraces provide lovely unspoilt views of the natural surroundings, with complete privacy.
A rare asset, a full basement lies beneath the main house. Currently used for storage and workshops, it could be connected internally, almost doubling the usable space, and offering the possibility to create a professional area, additional rooms, or an extended family space.
The gîte, fully self-contained with its own private entrance, offers the same level of comfort over an excellent surface area of 133 m². It includes a generous entrance hall, three bedrooms, two shower rooms, a bright 36 m² living room, a fitted kitchen, a utility room, and two separate WCs.
Outside, two terraces - one covered and equipped with a jacuzzi, the other facing north-west - invite relaxation and make the most of this property's tranquil setting. This accommodation is ideal either for welcoming family and friends or continuing an existing holiday rental activity.
The grounds are further enhanced by several outbuildings and a large basement area, perfect for DIY enthusiasts or collectors.
