Former Cistercian monastery in the Albigensian region

Perched on a hill in the Albi region, this former fortified monastic farm building, a direct legacy of the powerful Candeil Abbey, offers a fragment of history where thick stone walls have withstood the test of time. As you approach, your eye is immediately drawn to its U-shaped architecture, impressive both for its size and its centuries-old history.

The left wing, just over 220 square meters, is currently the only renovated part of the building. It houses a kitchen and a large living room, warmed by its fireplace in winter, and invites contemplation of the surrounding rolling landscapes on summer days.

Upstairs, the bedrooms offer a bright and intimate retreat overlooking the countryside. But the true treasure of this property lies in its immense potential for transformation, with 400 square meters of blank canvas for architectural expression.

The main house opens on the ground floor onto a former stable, a space just waiting for the imagination to transform it into an art gallery, a studio, or a beautiful reception room, while the first floor offers a blank canvas, ready to be fitted out.

The right-hand side wing, on the other hand, seems frozen in time, an opportunity that can accommodate all kinds of development projects. The estate extends over 1.4 hectares in an agricultural setting, with outbuildings including a 240 sqm open barn, ideal for setting up an equestrian center or professional storage, and a small house to renovate, offering complete independence for a gîte, guest house, or workspace.

This property is an invitation to breathe new life into a unique heritage, orchestrating a dialogue between history and modernity. A place where space, light, and authenticity combine to offer a truly exceptional living environment.
