Full Description


Only 45 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport, the estate extends over 9 hectares of magnificent spaces including meadows, hundred-year-old trees and perfectly maintained wooded areas. The property also benefits from 2 tennis courts, a large swimming pool, a volleyball court, forest play areas, a guest house and a pool house, as well as a storage outbuilding of over 100 m2
 
Originally built in the 1800s from Toulouse's iconic pink brick, the estate served as a family residence until 1990, when it was converted into a boarding school. Although updates have been made to meet the needs of modern life, the castle retains all its period charm, with its original furnishings, artwork and remarkable grounds.
 
The property benefits from an Erp (Establishment Receiving the Public) classification, which means that its use to host events retreats, weddings, seminars, etc requires only minor administrative adjustments (Pmr access, electrical compliance, fire safety, etc., being already in place).
 
The estate can be and is currently offered fully furnished, with all professional kitchen and laundry equipment.
Built in 1820 by Jules de Rességuier, Château Sauveterre is fully in line with the elegance of the nineteenth century in Occitania. A local aristocrat, former cavalry officer and then member of the Council of State in Paris, Jules de Rességuier also distinguished himself as a poet of the Romantic movement. A member of the Académie des Jeux Floraux de Toulouse, he maintained a correspondence with great literary figures of his time, including Victor Hugo, Lamartine and Alfred de Vigny, giving the castle a rare cultural and intellectual dimension.

On the second floor is a modern 3-bedroom apartment.
 
Secondary building / Former stables

Location.

Located in the heart of the Gers, in a hilly environment typical of Gascony, the Sauveterre region offers an authentic, peaceful art of living deeply rooted in nature. Here, time seems to slow down, to the rhythm of the seasons, farmers' markets and local traditions. The surrounding villages seduce with their discreet charm, their old stones, their bastides and this warm atmosphere specific to the South-West, where conviviality and quality of life are obvious.
 
One of the great assets of Sauveterre lies in its balance between rural tranquillity and accessibility. Toulouse can be reached in about 45 minutes, making it easy to reach its international airport, its cultural infrastructure and its economic dynamism, while enjoying a much more serene living environment on a daily basis. The Pyrenees are never far away, offering the possibility of regular mountain getaways, whether for hiking, skiing or simply admiring the landscapes. The Atlantic and Mediterranean, meanwhile, remains accessible for long weekends, further enhancing the region's appeal.
Between gentle hills, cultivated fields, forests and open panoramas as far as the eye can see, the Sauveterre sector perfectly embodies the spirit of the Gers, a preserved, bright and soothing territory. An ideal place for those looking for space, calm and authenticity, without giving up the proximity of the main roads and urban centres of the South-West.
