castle with pool for sale Castelnaudary, France

HAUTE-GARONNE - MAS-SAINTE-PUELLE Less than an hour from Toulouse, in the heart of the iconic Lauragais countryside, this remarkable family estate overlooks the Canal du Midi from grounds covering nearly 5.8 hectares. Secluded, with no neighbours opposite or adjoining, it provides a living environment of rare tranquillity, set amongst rolling countryside, tall trees and the light of the South. Known as the Château du F, this property dates back to the 16th century before undergoing a major transformation around 1700 at the hands of an Italian architect. It then adopted the style of the grand country houses of the early 18th century, featuring elegant architecture, spacious reception rooms and a layout of remarkable quality. With approximately 840 m² of living space, out of a total area of nearly 1,280 m², the residence has retained most of its original features. These include a spacious entrance hall opening onto a grand staircase, a reception room, an imposing dining room, a study, a kitchen and their service areas opening onto an Italian courtyard. Upstairs, a long gallery adorned with antique tapestries opens onto a balcony overlooking the grounds and the surrounding countryside. A master suite, five further bedrooms and four bathrooms make up the sleeping quarters, whilst a separate flat in need of renovation occupies the second floor. The property has retained its authentic character and will appeal to heritage enthusiasts wishing to undertake a respectful restoration. The large rooms, the abundance of natural light, the existing central heating and the excellent interior layout provide a particularly high-quality foundation for restoring this exceptional property to its former glory. Three houses, several outbuildings, a workshop, a cellar, a carport and substantial areas still suitable for conversion complete this rare estate, offering numerous possibilities for a family home, a reception property or a high-end hospitality venture. Outside, the grounds, featuring a well and a swimming pool, extend right to the banks of the Canal du Midi. From the property, walks along the towpath, the landscapes of the Lauragais and the proximity of the lock lend the location a unique character. The locks at Saint-Roch, the abbey-cathedral of Saint-Papoul, the Cugarel mill and Castelnaudary are all just a few minutes’ drive away. Rare for its history, its Italian-inspired architecture and its privileged location overlooking the Canal du Midi, this residence embodies the art of living found in the grand country houses of the 18th century. A property full of character, ideal for heritage enthusiasts wishing to breathe new life into a family estate of timeless elegance.

Beautifully restored medieval château, dating from the 13th century, set in the heart of the beautiful green French countryside, in the south of France, within the unspoiled Aude region. The property is located just 15 minutes from the renowned medieval town of Mirepoix, well known for its remarkable cathedral, considered unique in France, and for its vibrant and lively market. Often referred to as “the Uzès of the Aude” or “Little Uzès”, Mirepoix is appreciated for its iconic arcaded main square and its animated markets, reflecting the authentic spirit of southern France. Ideally positioned between Toulouse and the historic city of Carcassonne, both reachable in approximately 45 minutes, the château combines tranquillity with excellent accessibility. 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.

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 and the Mediterranean sea is at 1h 20mn. An exceptional residence combining heritage elegance, contemporary features, and strong valuation potential in one of the most sought-after sectors in the South.

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.
