Aspet, Midi-Pyrénées 31160

An exceptional and rarely available country estate in the very heart of Aspet Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees and offering breathtaking mountain views, this remarkable early 18th-century stone and plaster estate spans approximately 2.44 hectares of magnificent landscaped gardens almost unheard of for such a central location. It offers privacy, tranquility, and elegance, all within easy walking distance of the excellent shops in this highly sought-after market town. Approached by a magnificent 500-meter driveway, the property immediately impresses with its grandeur, character, and timeless charm. The main house is arranged over three floors and abounds with original period features, including expansive oak floors, traditional tiled floors, ornate woodwork, original fireplaces, double-paneled doors, and an extraordinary staircase which, in my opinion, is one of the finest in Aspet. The accommodation combines classic French elegance with refined contemporary comfort. A sleek, modern kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances and a Falcon gas range, while the stylish bathrooms and beautifully decorated bedrooms create an overall warm and luxurious atmosphere. The first floor features a magnificent wood-paneled landing with French doors opening onto a balcony the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while admiring the mountain views. The master suite includes a dressing room, air conditioning, and an elegant en-suite bathroom. A second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom completes this floor, while the top floor offers two further bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The reception rooms are equally impressive, including a comfortable living room with a marble fireplace and wood-burning insert, and a sophisticated dining room with exposed wooden flooring and decorative wainscoting. Additional features include a wine cellar, partial double glazing, and a hybrid heating system incorporating a heat pump and oil-fired central heating. A separate secondary property offers superb guest accommodation or excellent rental potential, comprising three bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and a second family bathroom. The bright, open-plan living area features French doors opening onto the garden and covered terrace, while an elegant staircase leads to a second sitting room, gym, or multipurpose space. A large garage completes the accommodation. Outside, the estate becomes truly magical. The magnificent gardens have been meticulously designed, featuring remarkable trees, formal boxwood topiary, terraces, pathways, and charming outdoor entertaining areas. Additional features include outbuildings, a games room carved into the rock, a wooden chalet ideal as a home office, workshops, and a delightful open gazebo. The heated swimming pool, with its electric cover, newly installed terrace, and new liner, offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. There is also ample space to keep horses if desired an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity while remaining within walking distance of town.
