Welcome to La Maison du Tarn, a house located just outside the town of Gaillac in the Tarn department. Offering the perfect balance between modernity and authenticity, this house, recently renovated by its owners, is located on the hillsides of the Gaillacois region. The property is bordered by a departmental road, with traffic at certain times of the day.
In the heart of nature
Set in the heart of nature, La Maison du Tarn boasts a verdant setting. Close to all amenities in Gaillac. Take advantage of the heated swimming pool and terrace with barbecue and garden furniture for al fresco dining. The interior design (completely renovated) combines old-world charm with modern touches, creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The fully-equipped kitchen awaits you to prepare delicious meals.
However, it's important to note that some outside areas are aging: the terraces around the house have not yet been renovated, but are still perfectly usable. In addition, due to the clay soil, the house has a few visible cracks in the walls, but these are not structurally dangerous. The pool terrace and liner are also showing signs of age, without detracting from your comfort or experience.
