Lovely Stone Farmhouse in the Tarn with Pool, Gardens, and Total Privacy

Approached by a long avenue, this beautiful old stone farmhouse sits in total seclusion on five acres of garden and wooded hillside. Spread out before it lies a panorama of rolling countryside, woodland, vineyards and, on clear days, the distant peaks of the Pyrenees. The house itself is charming. While retaining the beauty and simplicity of an 18th century farmhouse, Lasserre is a very comfortable family home. The rooms are graced with original hand hewn beams, heavy oak doors, and original plaster walls with exposed beams and lovely old terracotta floors. This house is our home for a portion of the year and consequently has been furnished to a comfortably high standard with favorite pictures and books, antique family furniture, and quality appliances. This area of Southwest France, the Tarn, is a particularly pretty and unspoilt region. The countryside is a patchwork of vineyards, maize, sunflowers and woodland dotted with ancient farmhouses and historic towns.

Lasserre is located in a particularly pretty and unspoilt part of Southwest France. This is the area of Bastide towns such as Cordes sur Ciel and Carcassonne, fortified hill towns rising up into the sky with enchanting twisting streets and covered market places. There are fields of grapes, sunflowers, and cattle. The countryside rolls gently up to the Forêt de la Grésigne, the largest oak forest in Europe. Lasserre sits on a hill looking toward the south over woodland, pastures and sunflowers. There is an abundance of wildlife, including two resident falcons. Lasserre benefits from total seclusion surrounded by nothing but forest, fields, and vineyards. We are just a few minutes drive from the pretty town of Castelnau de Montmiral with a boulangerie, small shops, pharmacy, café, post office and excellent restaurant. The market town and wine centre of Gaillac is about ten minutes away with shops, restaurants and cafés. The cultural centres of Albi and Toulouse are within 45 minutes.
