Secluded, with no neighbours opposite or adjoining, it provides a living environment of rare tranquillity, set amongst rolling countryside, tall trees and the light of the South.

Upstairs, a long gallery adorned with antique tapestries opens onto a balcony overlooking the grounds and the surrounding countryside. A master suite, five further bedrooms and four bathrooms make up the sleeping quarters, whilst a separate flat in need of renovation occupies the second floor. The property has retained its authentic character and will appeal to heritage enthusiasts wishing to undertake a respectful restoration. The large rooms, the abundance of natural light, the existing central heating and the excellent interior layout provide a particularly high-quality foundation for restoring this exceptional property to its former glory. Three houses, several outbuildings, a workshop, a cellar, a carport and substantial areas still suitable for conversion complete this rare estate, offering numerous possibilities for a family home, a reception property or a high-end hospitality venture. Outside, the grounds, featuring a well and a swimming pool, extend right to the banks of the Canal du Midi. From the property, walks along the towpath, the landscapes of the Lauragais and the proximity of the lock lend the location a unique character. The locks at Saint-Roch, the abbey-cathedral of Saint-Papoul, the Cugarel mill and Castelnaudary are all just a few minutes’ drive away. Rare for its history, its Italian-inspired architecture and its privileged location overlooking the Canal du Midi, this residence embodies the art of living found in the grand country houses of the 18th century. A property full of character, ideal for heritage enthusiasts wishing to breathe new life into a family estate of timeless elegance.
