CastleLachapelle (82) Price : $1,477,700
One hour from Toulouse and 25 minutes from Lectoure, an ancient Knights Templar Commandery, a comfortable renovated dwelling and separate grounds with swimming pool. Built on a rocky outcrop and enclosed by fortified walls, the commandery overlooks a few neighbouring houses and enjoys a 360° view of the surrounding rolling countryside. Sheltered from view, the property is also particularly quiet since the village is only accessible via a small road.
The adjacent buildings that compose the architectural complex are arranged in a coil shape around a grassy courtyard and the former chapel of the “Knights’ Manor”, which became a church in the 15th century.
Although it forms a harmonious whole, different buildings stand out due to the masonry of their façades, their roofs and other architectural elements specific to the successive periods in which the property was remodelled, such as the patios or the windows.
Once a Knights Templars monastery and then by turns a wine storehouse and a residence, the horseshoe-shaped building presents traces of its functions as a former fortified castle as demonstrated by the arrow slits, loopholes and scars resulting from the multiples modifications to the façades over the centuries. The walls, composed of an amalgam of unpointed massive rubble stone masonry and ashlar stone, are characteristic of medieval constructions.
With a surface area of 450 m², it has two storeys, including the attic space, and is topped with a gabled roof bordered by a triple Genoise corbel.
It was only recently that a tree-filled landscaped piece of land below the village was annexed to the property. Today, sheltered from view, it includes a swimming pool and pool house in need of a bit of refreshing.
