Together, they form a unique place, both preserved and private, yet accessible enough to support a true destination project. This castle is more than just a prestigious residence. It forms a complete property complex, designed around multiple uses: receptions, accommodation, private or professional events, charming stays, gîtes, bed and breakfast rooms, seminars, private retreats, or a family residence with complementary activities. The main castle retains the hallmarks of grand historic estates: elegant reception rooms, fireplaces, a stone staircase, a vaulted cellar, a chapel, numerous bedrooms, spacious circulation areas, and abundant natural light streaming through certain façades. The atmosphere is authentic, with a depth found only in places that have stood the test of time. The outbuildings add a more operational dimension to the estate.

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.

Built in the 1840s on the site of an old residence dating back to the 13th century, the property has a rich history. A cadastral survey from 1773 already mentions the presence of a formal French garden on the south facade. The current owners are dedicated to preserving its spirit, tastefully reinterpreting the original gardens.
