Authentic Manor House set amongst vineyards

OVERVIEW


An elegant and historic home with a wealth of period details and a fine run of outbuildings. Beautifully presented and privately positioned on the edge of an unspoilt hamlet with views over rolling countryside.

The original estate, owned by Cistercian monks, was a vast wine-producing domain in excess of 1,000 hectares. In the mid 18C, the Lapeyrère family added the manor house which passed to the present owners in the 1990s and for whom it has been a happy family home. The sense of security and community which they found in the tiny hamlet of half a dozen dwellings still holds good today.

Local store 7kms (4 miles). Market towns at 14 and 17kms (8.5 & 10.5 miles). Toulouse airport 115kms (71 miles).


Land and Grounds

Easy to maintain gardened areas extend from the main buildings. The south facing park has a magnificent collection of mature ashes, oaks, cedars, ornamental shrubs and bushes. In addition, there is an 'L' shaped grass field / paddock which would support livestock.
