40 minutes south of Toulouse, a 18th-century manor house, with outbuildings in 4,700 m² of grounds. This property was built around 1760 and then rebuilt during the 18th century by the Marquis de Sers. It occupies the same site as a medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. The rectangular building is entirely made of brick and boasts a pavilion at each of its four corners. Protruding brick cornices denote the separation between the two storeys of the edifice and underline the roof. On the façade, a semi-circular arched doorway sets the tone, whilst in the equivalent place at the rear, there is a rectangular French window. The façade faces the village square that occupies the manor house’s former domain, with views to the horizon of the green hills that overlook the municipality. In front of the edifice, the garden / courtyard is planted with rose bushes and rhododendrons, under the finely statured branches of two horse chestnut trees and two lime trees. Together, they provide freshness as well as shade in summer and light plus warmth in winter. The courtyard is surrounded by three buildings: the manor house, former stables and a hangar, forming a coherent architectural whole that protects against prying eyes and wind. Behind this brick screen, there is a second garden - the Garonne garden - which extends up to a discrete gate to the village’s church, which was the castle’s chapel in bygone days. It is framed by two mounds, most likely the former medieval moat. It is square in shape and retains subtle traces of its past as an ornamental garden, with geometric patterns and an elegant thoroughness. Two fountains - one in the garden / courtyard and the other in the Garonne garden - provide a gentle touch to the place. To the west, in a discrete corner of the Garonne garden, a swimming pool stands in its rightful place, lined with irises, rose bushes, olive trees and a few palm trees.

A Remarkable Historic Château Set Amidst the Idyllic Landscapes of the Ariège Set within the rolling countryside of the Ariège, close to the village of Betchat and surrounded by the exceptional landscapes of the Pyrénées Ariégeoises, Château de Castelbon is a rare and romantic estate of extraordinary character. Dating back to the Middle Ages, with its history traced to the early 13th century, this remarkable former fortified residence occupies an idyllic and wonderfully private setting of approximately 10 hectares, with the possibility of acquiring a further 18 hectares of predominantly woodland nearby. Approached by a long, impressive driveway, the château emerges from the landscape with commanding views towards the Pyrenees, creating an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and timeless rural elegance. The château is arranged around a beautiful central courtyard in a distinctive U-shaped configuration, with two substantial wings, four historic towers and an impressive chapel at its heart. Two square towers and two circular defensive towers, complete with surviving arrow slits and gun loops, bear witness to the property's medieval origins. Castelbon has a fascinating and distinguished history. Raimond At de Castelbon is recorded as Lord of Castelbon as early as the beginning of the 13th century, while in 1405 the château's archives were inventoried on the orders of Archambaud de Grailly, demonstrating its importance as a seigneurial and administrative centre. Over the centuries, the estate was associated with several notable families, including the Comminges and Joyeuse, before passing to Pierre de Bertier in the 16th century and subsequently to the Saint-Jean de Pointis family. In the 20th century, the château entered a new chapter as a model farm. Today, the property remains privately owned and offers an extraordinary opportunity to restore and complete a substantial historic estate while creating a truly exceptional home, hospitality destination or lifestyle business. Internally, the château retains an abundance of fabulous period features, including magnificent fireplaces, original stonework, characterful timber elements, historic stone staircases and an extraordinary chapel. The beautiful old tower staircases and surviving defensive architecture add to the property's unique sense of place. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,000 m2, subject to confirmation, with around 20 rooms and 7 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, together with a wealth of additional reception and leisure spaces. A magnificent entrance hall or atrium forms the heart of the main house, with twin staircases leading towards the principal reception rooms. There are generous salons and dining areas, a substantial kitchen with open fireplace, additional service rooms, a TV room, laundry and cellar spaces. One of the property's most impressive features is its ballroom, complete with bar, cloakrooms and extensive terraces overlooking the surrounding gardens. A substantial poêle de masse provides a wonderfully atmospheric focal point and creates an inviting setting for entertaining. The accommodation includes a generous principal bedroom suite, further bedroom suites and bedrooms, family accommodation, an artist's studio of approximately 50 m2, music room, tower rooms and former staff quarters offering further potential for renovation. At the centre of the château sits its beautiful historic chapel, an especially evocative feature which contributes enormously to the romantic character of the estate. A Home, Retreat or Exceptional Business Opportunity Over the past 20 years, significant renovation work has been undertaken, including a new roof, pellet-fired heating system, renewed bathrooms and extensive improvements to the interiors. Much of the transformation is in place, with some areas requiring final restoration and finishing. The scale and versatility of the château lends itself perfectly to a number of uses.
