Close to Lavaur, in a discreet and preserved setting, this late 18th–early 19th century estate embodies the timeless elegance of grand country residences. Offering approximately 750 sqm of living space, the property is distinguished by its noble architecture and remarkable volumes spread over several levels. Behind its history-rich façade, the interiors reveal generous and authentic living spaces: spacious reception rooms, enfilade-style salons, dining rooms, multiple kitchens, as well as numerous bedrooms distributed across expansive floors and convertible attic space. The property retains the full strength of its original heritage character, featuring period parquet flooring, terracotta tiles, original wooden joinery, antique doors, and six fireplaces, all reflecting the refinement of a bygone era. Now requiring a complete restoration, the estate offers exceptional potential for architectural reinterpretation. The outbuildings—where a change of use remains possible—further enhance this rare property: large former stables, a substantial cellar, a barn, and a separate workshop located across the road, already supplied with water and electricity. Set within more than 5.5 hectares of wooded grounds, partly flat and partly gently sloping, the estate enjoys a south-facing orientation and a remarkable natural environment, enriched with centuries-old trees. The land is also suitable for a swimming pool, further enhancing its development potential. Existing technical features include oil-fired central heating, multiple fireplaces, single and three-phase electricity, and fibre-optic connectivity (to be connected). The individual sanitation system requires full renovation, offering complete flexibility for future projects. This rare and elegant residence is ideally suited to either a large-scale family project or an ambitious heritage restoration. In addition, the property forms part of a wider historic family estate that includes a fully renovated neighbouring residence, also marketed by our agency under reference 595T. Both properties, while sold separately, may be acquired together to create an exceptional combined estate. Further information available upon request.

AUDE – 45 MINUTES FROM TOULOUSE A Cathar Fortress Transformed into an Exceptional Reception Estate in the Heart of the Lauragais Between Toulouse and Carcassonne, amidst the unspoiled landscapes of the Lauragais, the historic Pays de Cocagne whose prosperity was built on the cultivation of pastel (woad) and which long served as the granary of Languedoc, lies a remarkable estate extending over nearly 18 hectares and dominated by a majestic medieval commandery. Nestled within an outstanding natural environment in the heart of a Natura 2000 protected valley, the château enjoys a rare setting of rolling hills, organic farmland, authentic villages and distant views towards the Pyrenees. Just 45 minutes from both Toulouse and Carcassonne, and within easy reach of the amenities of Belpech and the medieval bastide town of Mirepoix, this strategic location has been prized for centuries as a crossroads between the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees, Spain and the great routes linking eastern and western France. Originally built in the 13th century by Guillaume de Plaigne, a Cathar lord whose destiny became entwined with the great chapters of Cathar history, the fortress remained in the Plaigne family for over four centuries before being acquired by François-Paul de Béon de Cazaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta. He established here one of the most important commanderies of the Order of Saint John in Languedoc. Successive centuries enriched the estate without diminishing its authenticity, creating a remarkable architectural palimpsest that reflects the region's rich heritage. Since 1973, the property has belonged to the same Franco-American family, whose dedication over more than fifty years has ensured its preservation and enhancement. Under the guidance of the current owner, an artist educated at the École du Louvre, the château has been restored with exceptional care, sensitivity and respect for its history. The result is a successful marriage of historic character and contemporary comfort. Behind its stone façades lie remarkable architectural features: mullioned windows, monumental period fireplaces, Versailles parquet flooring, elegant reception rooms, a chapel nestled within a tower, the impressive Knights' Hall, and a collection of beautifully appointed guest rooms, several inspired by cultures and travels from around the world. Each room reflects both the spirit of Languedoc and an openness to wider horizons. The estate includes a magnificent four-hectare landscaped park with centuries-old trees, riding avenues and carefully composed vistas. A swimming pool designed as a natural basin blends seamlessly into this protected environment, where surrounding land is safeguarded from future development. The tranquillity, privacy and beauty of the setting create an atmosphere of rare distinction. Currently operated as a venue for private receptions, weddings and exclusive stays, the château offers extensive reception facilities for up to 130 guests, together with substantial accommodation capacity distributed between the château itself and its independent cottage. Meticulously maintained, structurally sound and benefiting from a particularly successful restoration programme, this remarkable property represents a rare opportunity for a discerning purchaser seeking a historic family estate, a prestigious hospitality venture or an exceptional lifestyle property. A timeless place where the echoes of Cathar history, the Order of Malta and the great traditions of Languedoc still resonate, set within one of the most beautifully preserved landscapes of southern France.
