The gated property offers easy vehicular access with 3 parking spots at the front and additional rear parking and garage.
The spacious, well-maintained garden (primarily lawn) features mature trees for summer shade, olive trees, and a reliable drip irrigation system fed by two wells (12m).

Location: Graulhet is based around a medieval centre and has a recent industrial history that has left it with a varied architecture. It is not a tourist destination, which makes property here well-priced, and yet it is in a beautiful region. Everything a family needs is here: education from pre-school to age 19, theatre, cinema, sports venues and clubs from yoga to flying, cultural and social associations, shopping, medical services, restaurants. There is a small weekly market on the square in front of the house so you don't even need to drive to the supermarket if you don't choose to. Another market in the town offers more choice still.
Further afield, we have Albi (UNESCO World Heritage Site) at 30 minutes' drive, Toulouse within 1 hour and many smaller towns and villages to explore in this area known as "Little Tuscany". The Gaillac winegrowing region is full of undiscovered gems and the countryside offers endless opportunity for leisure and sports in the mountains, fields, lakes and rivers. The regional cuisine is largely based on fresh local ingredients, traditional French dishes often with a modern twist. Think seared duck breast with a fruity sauce and enormous salad, or cassoulet (a stew of beans and mixed meats) in its home town of Castelnaudary. Or, if you are eating in, a rotisserie chicken fresh from the market with potatoes cooked in the drippings and a fresh green salad from the stall next door, all served on your shady terrace with a glass of rosé from the estate down the road.
