A historic château constructed in multiple stages, reflecting the needs of successive owners. Located in a region rich in cultural heritage, just a 5-minute walk from a medieval village and near Rodez, this château offers easy access and stunning views over the valley, surrounded by fields, forests, and fruit trees.
Having attracted religious figures, nobles, and the bourgeoisie over the centuries due to its favorable climate for growing vines and fruit trees, the buildings feature feudal attributes with an imposing keep, a circular staircase tower, and a 19th-century main building. The interior layout is ingenious and varied, with a bright, open living room and more austere, isolated bedrooms.
The château is human-scaled, with large but not excessive rooms. Its restoration was aimed at making it a residential living space, with functional, contemporary furniture. Equipped with all modern comforts, each room has an internet connection and each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and central heating. The modern kitchen opens onto a south-facing terrace, perfect for outdoor dining.
Extensive renovation and improvement work, carried out meticulously over eight years, respected traditional craftsmanship. The well-maintained interior decoration and gardens, with a variety of fruit trees, add to the charm. Thermal and sustainable aspects were considered, with double glazing, insulation, and modern heating for the pool.
The 15-hectare estate, comprising fields and woods, offers many possibilities, including an annual grazing contract for a farmer.
The château includes a keep (13th century), an intermediate main building (16th century), and a restored annex (19th century). The 13 main rooms include 7 bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a sitting room, a kitchen with mezzanine, a laundry room, a projection room, and several rooms to be developed. Outbuildings include a red sandstone barn and a former chestnut dryer, offering additional development opportunities.
This château, restored with meticulous attention to tradition, offers modern comfort in a historical setting. It is ready to accommodate various residential or touristic projects.
