16th-century château with 3 independent gîtes, 5.7 ha, Occitanie

Authentic 16th-century château with 3 independent gîtes and 5.7-hectare grounds

Magnificently situated, this authentic 16th-century château offers approximately 860 m² of living space, 3 independent gîtes and over 5 hectares of parkland and woodland bordering the Canal du Midi. Originally dating from the 16th century, the château was redesigned in 1710 by an Italian architect, giving it its current Palazzo-style character. Entirely private yet only 10 minutes from Castelnaudary, 20 minutes from Carcassonne and 40 minutes from Toulouse, the main building has been carefully restored, preserving many original features.

7 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 860 m² of living space · 5.7 ha of grounds

Inside the château

A vast double-aspect entrance hall leads to a bright sitting room with 3 sets of windows offering views over the parkland to the right, whilst to the left is the formal dining room, also with parkland views and a magnificent fireplace. The ground floor also comprises a large kitchen, offices and an Italian-style courtyard.

A majestic staircase leads to the first floor, where the billiard room is adorned with 18th-century fresco-style murals. This floor houses several large bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as unrefurbished rooms offering potential for further development. Another staircase leads to the vast attic spaces, also offering considerable conversion potential.

The gîtes and outbuildings

To the right of the main property, a row of impressive outbuildings comprises 2 independent gîtes as well as stables, garages and a wine cellar. Nestled at the end of the garden near the Canal du Midi stands a third 3-bedroom gîte.

Outside
