LABESSIERE CANDEIL | GAILLAC - Situated within easy reach of Gaillac, this charming property sits at an altitude of approximately 200 metres, boasting an elevated position in the heart of a rolling landscape formerly dominated by vineyards. The estate comprises several meticulously renovated buildings. Built circa 1850, the main house has been completely restored. Access to the house is via a vast south-west facing terrace. On the garden level, the entrance hall leads to a rustic-style kitchen featuring a central island and a range cooker, as well as a dining room adorned with magnificent period encaustic floor tiles. A bright study, cloakroom (WC), utility room, and direct access to the garage complete this wing, situated within the original part of the residence. The former barn, now converted into a spacious sitting room, is a standout feature with its vaulted "cathedral" ceiling, a mezzanine leading to the first-floor bedrooms, an open fireplace, and a large arched picture window. This opens onto the rear courtyard, which hosts a heated saltwater swimming pool (approx. 5 × 10 m). Surrounding this courtyard, a covered terrace houses a bar and dining area, a summer lounge, and a sauna with direct access. A converted pigeonnier (dovecote) serves as a bedroom with exposed beams and far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, completing this harmonious ensemble. Also on the garden level and adjacent to the main sitting room, a second lounge or library of approximately 35 m² offers a cosy atmosphere. This leads to an office located in the original living quarters of the adjoining cottage, known as the maison du métayer (sharecropper's cottage). The mezzanine above the living area serves: - A master suite of approx. 60 m² with a private lounge, a bathroom (fitted with both bath and shower), and a stilted south-west facing terrace providing direct access to the pool. - A south-west wing comprising three bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. - A south-east wing offering two courtyard-facing bedrooms, a bathroom, an independent WC, and - located above the cottage office - two further bedrooms accessed via a landing. The guest cottage, "maison du métayer", is attached and internally linked to the main building. It can serve as self-contained accommodation or guest quarters. The ground floor features a living area with a fireplace (currently used as an office with a water point) and a shower room, with two bedrooms upstairs. The original staircase and independent entrance have been preserved. A barn, a large workshop/hangar of approximately 100 m², and several adjoining plots totalling just over one hectare complete the property. Ample parking is available at the entrance. The property benefits from double-glazed timber or aluminium joinery and is connected to full-fibre broadband. There are two wells: one adjacent to the house and another located in the lower field (approx. one hectare). The land is not subject to agricultural restrictions, flood zones, or gas network proximity.
