VILLENEUVE-SUR-VERE, TARN - This exceptional property, nestled between Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel, immerses you in the heart of Tarn's history with its traditional 19th-century dovecote, fully restored in 2022. Nestled on the edge of a small hamlet, this estate is a testament to the region's rich rural heritage, offering a true journey through time.

Upon arrival, an ornate wrought iron gate welcomes you to a vast gravel courtyard. The timeless charm of the place is instantly revealed, highlighting the nobility of the original materials, carefully restored to preserve the authenticity of the building.

To the right of the courtyard, a landscaped area with a shaded arbor invites you to enjoy the outdoors, while a fully restored old workshop and garage offer the possibility of additional development.

To the left, the main house and its majestic four-level dovecote stand proudly, overlooking the Tarn countryside. This dovecote, a symbol of the regional heritage, has been meticulously restored to preserve its original appearance while incorporating modern amenities that respect its history.

The glazed front door leads you to a spacious vestibule, where original features such as the wooden staircase leading to the floors of the dovecote can be found. Here, every detail tells a story, from the superb period fireplace equipped with a Stuv stove to the 5.3-meter ceiling height in the mezzanine lounge that recalls the grand architecture of the 19th century.

A few steps lead to a light-filled dining room with numerous openings, where the open kitchen blends seamlessly, creating a convivial space. The ground floor is completed by a shower room and a separate toilet.

The first floor houses a large office that serves a mezzanine converted into a master suite, where old materials and wood blend harmoniously to create a warm and authentic atmosphere. This suite also has direct access to an exterior terrace, ideal for enjoying the tranquility of the place.

Finally, the second and third floors reveal two en-suite bedrooms, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding land that extends over 2.3 hectares, ensuring a peaceful and authentic living environment. You can observe local wildlife, such as deer.

A large south-facing terrace, without any visual obstruction, is ideal for enjoying the sun in complete privacy and admiring the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
