TARN:Labastide Rouairoux,a prestigious architect-designed villa with a swimming pool, wooded and enclosed park

This unique architect-designed villa, of rare elegance, was specially designed in the 1950s for a famous textile industrialist by the renowned architect Charles Veaute, in the village of Labastide Rouairoux.
Luxuriously renovated and refurbished, it ranks amongst the most sought-after residences in our beautiful valley and is every bit as impressive as the fine bourgeois houses of Mazamet or Castres, towns with a rich industrial heritage.
See for yourself: built over three levels, it offers 321 m² of living space with a fully fitted basement, 5 en-suite bedrooms worthy of a grand hotel, reception rooms, a top-of-the-range kitchen and pantry. It would be perfect for a guesthouse-style accommodation business. The exterior is just as impressive, featuring a swimming pool, a relaxation area, a greenhouse, a large covered terrace and a garage. It stands proudly within a park featuring tree-lined paths set on a plot of 7656 m2

Let’s begin the tour. As soon as we step through the entrance gate, we find ourselves in a completely different world, captivated by this villa, whose beauty leaves us speechless!
Imposing and elegant, you’ll find yourself, like us, gazing at it for quite some time! As we step inside, we’re greeted by a magnificent entrance hall. Its magnificent staircase, with its wide, ornate wrought-iron balusters, is a true work of art and allows us to take in the layout of the upstairs rooms at a glance.
The hall leads to sumptuous reception rooms – a large sitting room, a small sitting room and a dining room. These three rooms combine light, spaciousness and refinement, and open out onto an incredible 100m² covered terrace offering a sublime view of the grounds! Back in the hall, this leads to a superb study with beautiful parquet flooring, a modern kitchen with its own pantry, and two WC.

We take the staircase, which leads us to the floor dedicated to the sleeping quarters – and what a space! Here there are four en-suite bedrooms, two with balconies offering a remarkable view of the grounds, worthy of a grand hotel; each one has been decorated in a different theme. We were able to take a journey from Africa to Asia, immersed in different styles and atmospheres, all characterised by elegance, with the bathrooms and shower rooms perfectly in keeping! Another bedroom with a separate bathroom would also be perfect for accommodating your guests; it benefits from a completely independent entrance, which was formerly reserved for the villa’s staff.
We now head back down to the basement – yet another incredible level – featuring a gym, games room, utility rooms, boiler room, wine cellar and a toilet.
Technical features: heating via a heat pump, wood-fired boiler, 2 fireplaces with inserts, underfloor heating in all bathrooms. Insulated roof in excellent condition, steel roof structure. Solar panels, double-glazed windows with electric shutters, fibre-optic broadband.
The exterior is absolutely stunning, featuring a greenhouse, a heated chlorinated swimming pool with its own relaxation area, a garage for two cars, and all surrounded by an enclosed garden with a variety of trees and shrubs, offering plenty of shaded and secluded spots. Everything here is perfect for daydreaming!

All that remains is to move in and savour the lifestyle typical of the south of France – everything is ready to welcome you!
A rare opportunity not to be missed in our beautiful Occitanie region, where life is so good!
