Approximately one hour from Toulouse, the sea, and the Spanish border: Discover this incredible wine estate nestled at the foot of the Alaric mountain, in the heart of the Corbières region. Comprising a vast property of approximately 850sqm, surrounded by a large park of century-old trees, its enigmatic ancient tower, its 11m x 6m swimming pool, and its 70 hectares of land, including 30 hectares of vineyards (23 hectares of AOP Corbières and the remainder of IGP, a varietal wine), all easily accessible. The estate consists of several buildings. The main residence is a manor house of approximately 570sqm built in 1840, comprising 21 rooms on three levels, including 14 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 dining room, 3 offices, 1 workshop, 2 kitchens with gas stoves, 1 scullery, 2 laundry rooms, and 4 toilets. Remodeled several times, the property still retains many period features, including marble fireplaces, spacious rooms, original parquet floors, a marble staircase, and more. Adjoining the house is a large garage with a car lift, ideal for mechanics enthusiasts. Separately, but extending from the main house, is a large outbuilding containing a 300 sqm cellar where the oak casks and vats once stood. Above this is a vast space of similar size suitable for various uses (banquets, receptions). There is also a second, adjoining 200 sqm cellar, both semi-underground but no longer in use (as wine production is now managed and vinified by a cooperative). We also find a workshop, a former stable, and a second house of approximately 120sqm, renovated less than 20 years ago in a rather modern style. It comprises a living room with a fireplace, a pellet stove, an office, a fitted and equipped kitchen with a ceramic hob, a WC on the ground floor, and four bedrooms with a bathroom upstairs. Beyond the second house, a magnificent sheepfold has been converted into a function room and reception hall with an upper floor. Finally, this large complex, combining living quarters and agricultural spaces, ends with a third and final house, renovated 30 years ago. It consists of a large living/dining room, a kitchen, four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a WC, and requires further renovation. The property also includes an old 13th-century tower, the last vestige of a convent, spared by time, as well as several outbuildings on either side of the La Bretonne stream. There are also repair workshops, an old forge, a pigsty, and two houses requiring complete renovation. Heating is provided by different types of units: forced-air oil heating, wood-burning fireplaces, a pellet stove, and some electric heating. Future owners have the following possibilities: bringing winemaking on-site and relaunching the wine business independently, operating as a bed and breakfast, gîte, artist residency, or renting out some of the units or the entire estate for weddings, baptisms, and corporate events. Priority work will be needed on the heating and electrical systems, but only structural work and finishing touches are required.

An attractive ensemble of stone buildings offers a main house dating back to the 12th century, 3 large gites, a guesthouse with 4 en suite bedrooms, bar, professional kitchen, a marquee which could be used for wedding receptions and a wellbeing area with a sauna and jacuzzi. Currently run as gites and guesthouse (a future owner would need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration). There are various outbuildings including the enormous 900m2 chai. The wine production element in the surrounding area has been sold, however, there is a wine tasting space and shop area.
