castle with terrace for sale Soubès, France

Overlooking the charming village of Soubès and offering an exceptional panoramic view over the surrounding valley, the Château de Soubès is a remarkable residence whose origins date back to the late 11th and early 12th centuries. Built by the prestigious Peyrotes family, lords of Soubès for more than five centuries, the château was conceived as a fortified residence meant to protect the village. Over the centuries, it has been a privileged witness to the history of the Languedoc, notably serving as a refuge for Catholic bishops during the Wars of Religion, making this property a place steeped in nearly a thousand years of history. Today, the château has been restored with passion and the utmost respect for its heritage, offering approximately 380 m² (about 4,090 sq ft) of living space where the authentic character of the stone, generous volumes and original architectural features blend harmoniously with contemporary comforts. The property includes three sumptuous master suites, spacious reception rooms, a very well-equipped kitchen, and a generous summer kitchen designed to make the most of long Mediterranean evenings. Beneath the château lies an impressive vaulted cellar of more than 100 m² (over 1,000 sq ft), once used for wine storage. It is a unique space in which to house a private collection, host tastings, or create an extraordinary reception venue. The estate also offers remarkable development potential, with a detached house to be reimagined and a large two-storey outbuilding wing still to be fitted out, allowing for many projects according to the wishes of its future owner. The property already benefits from the necessary permissions for commercial use, opening the possibility of developing a luxury guesthouse, a boutique hotel, a gourmet restaurant, an events venue, or an exceptional private residence. Four private parking spaces complete the property. Despite its preserved setting, the château enjoys a prime location. A private gate leads on foot to the heart of the village, with its bakery, grocery store, library and local shops, as well as the estate’s vegetable garden.
