The accommodation comprises a very impressive stone family home (approximately 700 m2), further accommodation (80 m2) offering 8 bedrooms in total, as well as generous outbuildings, pretty gardens, open and covered terraces, a saltwater swimming pool, a petanque court and an indoor tennis court, making this a truly exceptional property.
The main house has insulated exterior walls throughout most of the house, with terracotta floor tiles on the ground floor, and underfloor heating and radiators in the other rooms. All of these rooms are well-sized and combine to create a very functional family home with additional guest or staff accommodation.

The other two bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room, are accessible from the other part of the house.
Adjacent to the house is an open-plan carport that can accommodate at least two cars and provides access to the games room and another large storage room.
A dovecote is located next to the carport and comprises three levels, with a storage room on the ground floor, ideal for bicycles and other equipment, and a living room and bedroom on the two upper floors.

Pretty gardens surround the house, with flowerbeds and shrubs, rose bushes, and a multitude of trees, both ornamental and fruit-bearing.
A large terrace, accessible through several doors, is located on the north side of the house and enjoys stunning views. It is adjacent to a large wisteria-covered terrace overlooking the saltwater pool and its sun terrace with a petanque court to one side.
On the other side of the garden, a pretty ruin provides a haven, and a rose-covered pergola leads to the house.
Completing the landscape around the house is an indoor tennis court with a trampoline.
There are several sheds and barns, the largest of which is approximately 138 m2 and serves as a workshop and storage area for all equipment.
Another carport is located to the side, a convenient detached barn for storing materials, and another carport is located on the other side of the house.
The tree-lined driveway crosses farmland with two pretty ponds surrounded by mature weeping willows to the side of the entrance gates, ending at the buildings.
The land is currently leased and comprises approximately 1.5 hectares of vines planted with a blend of L'Enc de l'El (a local grape variety) and Mauzac. At the beginning of the century, the estate had its own appellation. Most of the land is arable, and the rest is mainly wooded, for a total area of approximately 39 hectares.
It is located in a private setting in the Golden Triangle around Cordes-sur-Ciel and Castelnau-de-Montmiral, about an hour from Toulouse Blagnac Airport. The main town of Gaillac is about 15 minutes away, and both Gaillac and Cordes-sur-Ciel (Vindrac) train stations are accessible by train.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
