Property in Aureville

At the Gates of Toulouse – A Charming Historic Estate in the Heart of the Rolling Hills

EXCLUSIVITE – MERCURE : Just twenty minutes south of Toulouse, nestled among the rolling hills of Aureville, this remarkable country estate offers an exceptional lifestyle where time seems to stand still.

Hidden at the end of a long tree-lined driveway, the property is set within approximately 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of beautifully landscaped parkland. Overlooking the surrounding countryside, it enjoys a truly privileged setting with complete privacy, absolute tranquillity, and no overlooking neighbours, while remaining only minutes from local shops, the train station, schools, and major transport links.

Built in traditional Toulouse brick between the 17th and 19th centuries, this authentic family residence has retained all the elegance and character of its original architecture. Facing southwest, the main façade opens generously onto the terrace and landscaped grounds, while original fireplaces, generous proportions, period materials and preserved architectural features reflect the property’s exceptional heritage.

The main residence offers approximately 257 sq m (2,766 sq ft) of living space. The reception rooms are spacious and filled with natural light, complemented by a large kitchen, a study, and five bedrooms on the upper floor. The well-balanced layout is equally suited to an elegant family home or a prestigious country retreat.

The estate is further enhanced by its impressive outbuildings. A beautifully preserved dovecote provides an iconic architectural feature, while more than 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) of additional outbuildings and a vast convertible attic offer outstanding development potential. Whether creating guest accommodation, reception areas, artists’ studios, or a professional or hospitality venture, the possibilities are numerous.

The park is a magnificent haven of greenery, graced by majestic two-hundred-year-old cedar and oak trees, creating a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. Two wells and the remains of a former greenhouse or winter garden further enhance the timeless charm of this historic estate.

While some updating would allow the property to reach its full potential, its fundamental qualities are truly exceptional: authentic architecture, an outstanding setting, generous volumes, and a highly sought-after location just twenty minutes from Toulouse’s historic Place du Capitole.

Discerning buyers seeking a character-filled residence will discover a rare opportunity where heritage, nature, elegance and proximity to Toulouse combine in perfect harmony.

A confidential property, reserved for those wishing to embrace the French art of living while preserving an exceptional architectural heritage at the gateway to the Pink City.
