This magnificent early 19th Century Château has been restored with luxury and a flair for interior design.

Discretely shielded behind high walls, attractive gates and 2 imposing gatehouses is an ornamental courtyard in front of the main entrance.

The chateau is set over 3 floors. The grand central stairs lead to two more floors of exquisitely decorated, oversized bedrooms and suites equipped with beautifully and recently renovated bathrooms and lounge areas.

The renovation boasts perfect finishes, high quality materials and modern facilities. The original character shine through in the vaulted ceilings, large windows, plasterwork and gorgeous original floors.

Up into the attic you will marvel at the highly unusual wrought iron roofwork underpinning the classical French slate tiles, rare in the Mediterranean but more commonly found in the Loire valley. There is even a functional clocktower resplendent in its mechanics.

You enter into the chateau's princely hall with fine mosaic floors and a sweeping feature staircase from which the reception rooms fan out. The ground floor boasts chateau-high ceilings, multiple living areas, a number of kitchen facilities and an entry to the wine cellars below – these have been dressed to provide a perfect setting for wine tasting meetings. You walk out to the south-facing aspect of the chateau onto a lengthy and elegant covered terrace on one side and enclosed orangerie to the other which serves as a perfect spot to welcome in the day for breakfast. To the left is also a large, sleek, heated infinity pool overlooking the gardens which can enjoyed all year round. The perfect marriage of the ultra-modern and classical architecture is a theme that continues throughout the property.

The terrace overlooks 5 hectares of mature parkland with magnificent trees dating back to the same era as the chateau itself and an ornamental lake that is supplied by a water source directly from the nearby Canal du Midi.

The grounds also house a bar and outside entertaining area which can be easily opened up and closed away when not being used. The gardens are landscaped with attractive walkways, unusual planting and interesting areas.

The property also boasts a fully renovated, Mediterranean-style 3 bedroom house with a lounge, kitchen, private garden, terrace, two bathrooms and its own separate entrance.

Elsewhere is staff accommodation, 2 further properties to renovate (subject to any necessary permissions) and beautiful agricultural stone buildings making up around 1500 m2 of potential development.

The property is ideally situated near 5 international airports, the Mediterranean one way and ski slopes of the Pyrenees the other.

If you are an oenophile you will already know this region is producing some of the most innovative wines in France.

A very unique property looking for a unique buyer.
