Motorway access is 15 minutes away, while TGV train stations and international airports are within easy reach. Originally built in the 13th century by Guillaume de Plaigne, a Cathar lord, the château remained in the same family until 1688. It was then acquired by François-Paul de Béon-Masse-Cazeaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta in Toulouse, who transformed it into a Commandery of the Order of Saint John. It became the largest and most recent commandery in the Languedoc region and remained under the ownership of the Order of Malta until the French Revolution. The château has retained the spirit of its medieval origins while benefiting from a careful restoration, carried out over two generations. Surrounded by a park with mature trees, it offers a calm and refreshing atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of the Great Hall of the Knights, a key feature of the property’s historic character. The property offers 16 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, including 12 bedrooms within the château and 4 bedrooms in an independent cottage, allowing accommodation for up to 32 guests. Additional features include a small chapel set within a tower, a refined swimming pool designed as a natural basin, and facilities suitable for private gatherings and discreet events. The estate extends over 14 hectares of organically farmed land, located in a protected natural and touristic area, within a Natura 2000 valley. A range of outbuildings and service areas complete the property, including catering spaces, storage rooms, garages, cellars and attics. This château offers a rare balance between history, serenity and accessibility. It will appeal both to those wishing to continue a discreet hospitality or event activity, and to a family seeking an elegant country residence, combining timeless character with modern comfort.

A 19th century Mansart style chateau and its outbuildings set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods 30 km from Carcassonne . A driveway with centuries-old plane trees, bordered on either side by vast pastures, leads to the 1879 Haussmann-style chateau. The L-shaped edifice is bordered by a main courtyard on its east and north sides. The three-storey main building features extensions on either side. The left wing comprises two more modest, two-storey dwellings of similar style. To the right and slightly set back from the main building stands a rectangular three-storey tower topped by a four-pitched, slate roof with a crest, finials and crenellated white stone frieze - the same material used for the surrounds of the three large windows with carved stone mullions. Next to the tower is a chapel dating back to 1890, covered by an abundant Virginia creeper, with two tall stained-glass windows framing a heavy wooden door. At right angles, the right wing of the building houses a reception room and two flats currently rented out as gîtes (holiday accommodation). The main building and tower have slate roofs, while the gîtes and chapel are monk-and-nun tiled. There are also several outbuildings to the immediate right of the chateau, including a barn, a winery and a stable. Set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods in a dominant position, the chateau is protected from all forms of disturbance.

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This magnificent early 19th Century Château has been restored with luxury and a flair for interior design. Discretely shielded behind high walls, attractive gates and 2 imposing gatehouses is an ornamental courtyard in front of the main entrance. The chateau is set over 3 floors. The grand central stairs lead to two more floors of exquisitely decorated, oversized bedrooms and suites equipped with beautifully and recently renovated bathrooms and lounge areas. The renovation boasts high quality finishes and modern facilities. The original character shines through in the vaulted ceilings, large windows, plasterwork and gorgeous original floors. You enter into the chateau's princely hall with fine mosaic floors and sweeping staircase from which the reception rooms fan out. The ground floor boasts chateau-high ceilings, multiple living areas, kitchen facilities and an entry to the wine cellars below (dressed to provide a perfect setting for wine tasting meetings) You walk out to the south-facing aspect of the chateau onto a lengthy and elegant covered terrace on one side and enclosed orangerie to the other which serves as a perfect spot for breakfast. To the left a sleek, heated infinity pool overlooks the gardens. This perfect marriage of the ultra-modern and classical architecture is a theme that continues throughout the property. In the attic, you will marvel at the highly unusual wrought iron roofwork underpinning the classical French slate tiles, more commonly found in the Loire valley. There is even a functional clocktower. The terrace overlooks 5 hectares of mature parkland with magnificent, ancient trees and ornamental lake supplied directly from the Canal du Midi. The gardens are artfully landscaped with attractive walkways, unusual planting and a bar and entertaining area that can be easily dismantled when not in use.
