Historic residence at the foot of Albi Cathedral

At the foot of the majestic Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, in the heart of Albi’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 18th-century private mansion offers a rare property of approximately 1,000 sq m, organized around several living spaces and outbuildings. Behind its historic façade, the main house, spanning approximately 363 sq m, reveals remarkable volumes where the original architecture is fully expressed.

Period fireplaces, antique parquet floors, generous ceiling heights, and windows that flood the space with light create an atmosphere imbued with elegance.

The reception rooms flow seamlessly into one another, offering warm and inspiring living spaces. The vaulted kitchen, a true room of character, recalls the history of the property and provides a convivial space for those who appreciate authenticity.

Hidden from view, an interior courtyard offers parking for several vehicles and also includes a garage and various other storage areas.

Accessible from the kitchen, an intimate terrace invites you to fully appreciate this historic setting. At the front of the property, a garden provides a verdant respite in the heart of the city and offers a space ideal for relaxation or creating a vegetable garden.

The property also includes a separate wing, currently rented out, offering complete independence. This space represents a true asset: an immediate source of income, independent accommodation, or the potential to develop a hospitality project.

It currently comprises two separate units. Several outbuildings and annexes, including a workshop with undeniable potential, enhance the property and open up a world of possibilities: an artist’s studio, professional space, a gallery, offices, or an extension of an existing accommodation project.

Finally, a vaulted cellar completes the ensemble and will delight wine lovers or those who appreciate places steeped in history. With its exceptional location, architectural heritage, and generous proportions, this private mansion embodies a unique living space where history, character, and potential for transformation converge.

A rare property in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in southwest France, ideal for heritage enthusiasts and those with exceptional projects. Full of character and charm.
