Exceptional Medieval Stone Property with Pool and Barn near Cordes-sur-Ciel
Set in over 2.3 hectares of peaceful countryside just minutes from the celebrated bastide village of Cordes-sur-Ciel, this remarkable medieval stone property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully atmospheric home full of history, charm and authenticity.
Dating back in part to the 12th century, the property is believed to have originated as a former watchtower, carefully evolved over the centuries into an elegant and characterful residence enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding valley and countryside.
The accommodation is arranged over several levels and combines original architectural features with comfortable living spaces.
The lower ground floor comprises an entrance hall, bedroom, bathroom with WC, hallway with storage area and a delightful covered “Au Vent” terrace. Thanks to its independent feel and practical layout, this level offers excellent potential for guest accommodation or chambre d’hôtes use, subject to any necessary permissions.
On the main ground floor, the house offers a welcoming sitting room, kitchen, dining room and a versatile laundry room/home office.
The first floor features a landing area, two further bedrooms and a shower room with WC.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a substantial barn, bespoke design swimming pool, pool house, elevated terrace and mature gardens. The grounds extend to approximately 23,611m² across two cadastral parcels, offering privacy, tranquillity and exceptional natural surroundings.
This unique property would make a superb family home, luxury holiday retreat or lifestyle property with income potential in one of southwest France’s most desirable rural locations.
Ideally situated within easy reach of Albi, Gaillac and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, while Toulouse international airport is easily accessible.

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
