In Pézenas, an elegant 17th-century castle and its 4-hectare park. Fully restored over the last decade with rare attention to detail, the castle unfolds at the end of a long tree-lined avenue of centuries-old trees. Built in the 17th century in the heart of a wooded park, it, along with its outbuildings, forms a remarkable architectural and landscape ensemble. Facing from east to west, the residence engages in a theatrical dialogue with its park. To the west, the main façade opens onto a vast lawn extended by the view of the large basin, animated by a jet of water. Two slate-topped towers and a chapel emphasize its ends. To the east, the echo becomes more intimate with an ornamental basin shaded by foliage. Spanning more than 1,000 m² across three levels, the building presents classic Italianizing architecture, characteristic of the patrician villas of Languedoc. The façades made of local stone, arranged with rigor, are crowned with canal-tile roofs and eaves that assert their southern character. The restoration, conducted with absolute care, is one of the unique features of the property. Nothing seems to have been left to chance: the quality of materials, the accuracy of proportions, the precision of craftsmanship, and the particularly high level of finishing all contribute to restoring the castle to its noble stature, without sacrificing the comfort and reliability demands of our time. The same quest for excellence can be found in the facilities that ensure the estate's total autonomy: a well and a potable water treatment system; a generator that guarantees the operation of all equipment in all circumstances. These devices testify to a comprehensive design where the preservation of historical character is accompanied by constant attention to longevity and usability. To the south, the former stables, now rehabilitated into contemporary housing, and the orangery extend the main building. Away from it, in a clearing, two eco-lodges blend into the surrounding vegetation. The ensemble forms one of the most complete properties, where the quality of restoration is matched by the discreet sophistication of the facilities. Naturally intended for hospitality and events, the castle and its outbuildings can accommodate up to 200 people.This description has been automatically translated from French.

It is located in the greater Narbonne area, Languedoc-Roussillon, Occitanie, South of France and all amenities are close by. Other buildings have been erected later to become the actual U-shape which is very protecting and providing total privacy. A well-known French Author said the following : Once you pass the gate, you quickly forget the world; you find yourself in your own little paradise! These words capture the essence of this unique property perfectly and describe it beautifully. P.S. The land beyond the park and pool, visible in the photo with the swimming pool, is part of the property. It is not suitable for building on but is ideal for agricultural use – see under the heading 'Grounds'. Residential buildings The Château over 3 levels plus a 4th for the towers offers several elegant lounges and dining rooms, all with comfortable size, further 2 suits and 8 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. The romantic and beautiful 'jardin à la française' is appreciated from all rooms. The neighbouring house has 5 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and some with a terrace. Next to it, the corner house hosts the indoor swimming pool and 5 bedrooms, again all with en-suite bathrooms.

The ground floor is used as storage and the concrete vats are still witness of the wine makers. ERP permit 'establishment open to the public' needs to be renewed. Grounds The manicured parkland with the box hedge labyrinths and all the buildings, covering approximately 1.5 hectares, are entirely enclosed by walls and screened from view. As such formal French gardens are rare throughout the South of France, the local authority value it so highly that they protect it. It is just fantastic to have a stroll on soft paths, smell the perfume of fresh leaves and flowers or just enjoy the beauty of nature. Adjoining the park is one large block of agriculture land, almost 10 ha, currently not cultivated. A little bit beyond is a second block of land left wild, called 'garrigue'. A bit more detached is the remaining land, again garrigue and small wood. For the past years the agriculture land has just been maintained with a cut once or twice a year. In history it was a famous vineyard, already at that time the wine got sold in bottles with the Château brand. Even the actual owner has still produced the own wine until about 20 years ago. Of course a vineyard could be replanted and/or there are many other options like an olive grove, almond grove or fruit trees, medicinal herbs etc. Not least, some grazing horses would make for a lovely view. The buildings are connected to mains water and mains sewerage. A well, which has never run dry, is used for watering the gardens - the Romans certainly knew where to find water! Comments This prestigious Château is a unique family home offering total privacy and an exceptional quality of life. Its commercial potential is a key asset, given the scope for diversified operations and great flexibility. It is the property of your dreams—come and discover it for yourself!
