A manor house dating from 1870, blending heritage, luxury and comfort

Nestled within a wooded park, this exceptional property is revealed in Mazamet, a town of spa towns and history at the foot of the Montagne Noire.

This 1870 residence, listed as a remarkable building, bears witness to the golden age of wool production. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere captivates you: the gallery opens onto a light-filled 74 sq m reception room with parquet flooring and a fireplace, as well as a dining room whose walls are adorned with murals by a local artist.

The garden level, with a beautiful living room and a wellness area featuring a sauna, hammam, and recently installed spa, offers further development potential.

Upstairs, the two-level sleeping area offers spacious and refined en suite bedrooms, and the owners’ private apartment provides a space guaranteeing serenity and complete independence should you choose to run a hospitality business. The sleeping quarters are accessed by a grand staircase and an elevator from the garden level to the attic.

Here, the charm of the original features (woodwork, moldings, parquet flooring) blends seamlessly with impeccable modern technology (new roof installed in 2024, high-performance insulation, recently installed double-glazed wooden windows, and reversible air conditioning under a maintenance contract).

Under the eaves, the top floor awaits a new vision. This raw space, accessible by elevator, invites future development and offers complete creative freedom: a monumental master suite, a creative studio, or a contemporary private apartment.

The independent 70sqm gîte, renovated in 2022, completes this ensemble, with two large attic bedrooms arranged around a beautiful, light-filled living area, offering flexible use options. These magnificent rooms extend onto a 30 sq m terrace overlooking the 2,400 sq m park, accessible via a majestic double staircase dating from 1910, ideal for leisurely breakfasts or sunset receptions.

The landscaped garden offers peace and privacy, with a three-hundred-year-old plane tree and a grand magnolia. Beyond the large bromine pool, the property reveals a secret: a passageway over the Arnette River leads to a walled garden.

At its heart, a small brick building with pointed-arch windows awaits a creative hand to be restored according to one’s imagination as a timeless artist’s studio, an intimate retreat, an unusual suite, or a secluded annex. The old tanneries, remnants of industrial heritage, add a further touch of character to this verdant scene.

In the immediate vicinity of tourist attractions, hiking trails, the Barouge Golf Course, and the Hautpoul footbridge, this property offers a true piece of history for lovers of heritage and prestigious businesses.

Shops, schools, transport, hiking trails, and the Montagne Noire are all within easy reach.
