Sarah Aldrich Independent Agent, says :
This luxururious villa is in a peaceful residential area 5 minutes drive from the pretty market town of Mazamet (all facilities). Mountain views await from the spacious open plan living area with large picture windows looking out on to the 3000 sq. m. garden with its mix of tropical and fruit trees. There are four double bedrooms, all amply sized, and a high-spec family bathroom. The ceramic tiled floor garage can easily house 2 cars, and in the grounds is a second modern building in matching style ripe for conversion into a small gite or annex.
The property is set on one level and is surrounded by mature, secluded grounds.
The spacious, open-plan living area houses an equipped kitchen with breakfast counter (16 m²), dining area (32 m²) and lounge (24 m²). Both the kitchen and lounge areas give out onto the garden and terrace.
Behind the kitchen is an office, a utility room and a voluminous pantry.
The 4 double bedrooms range in size from 13 m² to 18 m², 3 with quality built in wardrobes - but you'll have to agree on who gets the one with the patio leading directly to the swimming pool!
The spacious bathroom has a jacuzzi bath, separate shower unit, twin wash basins and large illuminated vanity wall mirrors.
In the hallway there is also a separate WC and access down stairs to the garage.
The swimming pool measures approximately 10m x 4 m and there is a separate swimming pool toilet and shower unit.
You will also find an external lighting system throughout the garden, driveway light censors, electric gates plus intercom system with electronic side entrance gate, and a house alarm system with intruder censors.
Carcassonne airport is just one hour away, whilst Toulouse airport is within 90 minutes drive.

The Tarn department is to be found between Toulouse and Montpellier. It is a fantastic mix of both Languedoc and Pyrenees culture. The landscape is contrasting, with green forests giving away to sun soaked vineyards. The 350,000 population enjoy a Mediterranean-like climate and a relaxed pace of life. Showers in the spring help to keep the vegetation lush.
Tourism is now the main source of industry in the department, attracting visitors to its climate and landscape, as well as the cuisine. The most popular wine comes from the town of Gaillac, which has been producing it since Roman times, and foie gras is a popular regional dish.
Albi, situated on the banks of the river Tarn is the departmental capital. It is from this river that the reddish clay is extracted to construct just about every building in the town. The artist Henri de Toulouse grew up here and bequeathed the town with the largest collection of his works. Albi has a vast cathedral, also built from red clay, and looks more like a fortress than a spiritual place of worship.
Castres is a busy town, and makes a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Pimgrims used the town as a stopping off point on their way to Compostela. It boasts a superb art museum showcasing works from across the border in Spain.
Toulouse, Rodez, Montpellier and Carcassonne all have their own airports with regular flights from the UK. Toulouse also offers TGV links to many other French destinations. The area also has a good road and rail network.
