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.

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.

In addition, there is a caterer kitchen, a pantry and a sanitary area. A large terrace, partly covered, is overlooking the swimming pool and the beautiful countryside. 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!
