Between Toulouse and Carcassonne, in the heart of the preserved landscapes of Lauragais, this remarkable character property reveals the elegance of 19th-century architecture in an exceptional natural environment. Located on a wooded park of about 3 hectares with century-old trees, wells, and a spring, the estate includes a prestigious castle and three independent gîtes totaling 12 suites. Fully restored two years ago, the whole combines historical charm, modern comfort, and high-end development potential.
Built in 1880, the estate develops nearly 800 m² of living space spread between the main house and its dependencies. From the moment you arrive, the castle imposes its elegant appearance with its tall towers, distinctive façade, and a large south-facing terrace offering an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
The three independent gîtes cover 317 m². They allow for considering high-end hospitality, event, or tourism activities in a particularly sought-after sector. The activity can be immediately resumed thanks to a fully operational structure sold turnkey if desired.
The main castle itself has 477 m² of living space divided into 9 rooms, including 6 suites. The bright volumes, preserved decorative elements, and restored tapestries in the same style attest to the care given to the renovation and respect for the historic character of the place.
Technical features meet current standards for a prestigious property: central heating with heat pump, underfloor heating on the ground floor, reversible air conditioning in bedrooms, double glazing on many openings, and a high-performance Wi-Fi network throughout the estate. The roof and masonry have been carefully maintained, providing an immediately exploitable property without work to be done.
The top floor features large light-filled open spaces, particularly suitable for organizing seminars, wellness retreats, private events, or artistic projects. A remarkable vaulted stone cellar of about 60 m² completes this rare property.
Much of the furniture, household linen, and bedding is included in the sale, allowing for immediate activity restart or quick installation in privileged conditions.
The property benefits from a sought-after location near Lake Ganguise, the bastides of Revel and Mirepoix, the Canal du Midi listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the famous medieval city of Carcassonne. Toulouse and its international airport are accessible in just 35 minutes via the A61.
An exceptional residence combining heritage elegance, contemporary features, and strong valuation potential in one of the most sought-after sectors in the South.
