Description

A37113FV81 - Let's start our visit by taking the access road right through the heart of our beautiful forest massifs. Don't forget that we're in the Montagne Noire and in the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut Languedoc, so that sets the scene!
At the very end it reveals itself, mysterious and imposing, leaving us speechless and spellbound.
A real postcard and historical film setting! This estate has contributed to local history and is mentioned in numerous books.
All that's left is for its future owner to restore it to its former glory.
It's a major renovation project that needs to be planned and undertaken, but the result will be magical!
We arrived near the château, and the imposing façade was revealed. All the windows face south, overlooking the lake and forest!
We enter, and yes, we've suddenly gone back in time! A vast 18m2 hall welcomes us, and reveals a very beautiful staircase, all the architectural details are there, ashlar frames, French ceilings, monumental fireplaces... This hall leads to two wings, in the right-hand one, we discover a beautiful 36m2 lounge with fireplace and beautiful wood panelling on the wall, a shower room or hallway point to be renovated or redesigned.
Then the left wing houses a second lounge or dining room of 34 m2 with a fireplace; adjoining is a kitchen of 28m2 and its utility room, which in turn leads to a hallway used for storage.

Back in the entrance hall, we take the imposing staircase up to the first floor with its 16m2 landing and 3 bedrooms with generous volumes of between 29 and 40m2! Each bedroom has its own water inlets and old bathrooms or toilets that need to be completely refurbished.
Floor 2 also has a large landing leading to 4 additional bedrooms with just as much space!
We're looking at almost 400m2 of living space!
We now emerge and discover the large outbuildings, the layout of which is sure to find its place in your project. In fact, it's a huge bonus, a barn with a floor surface area of 70m2 and a ridge rising to a height of 8.7 m! The extension includes stables and sheds measuring 12m2 and 52m2 on the ground floor. These spaces are always sought-after and are part of our customers' search criteria.
Then there's the caretaker's cottage, with openings on the south side like those in the château, but with a rear entrance on the north side so as to be totally independent, which is a great feature!
This part of the property spans around 85m2, with a large living room with fireplace and kitchen on the ground floor (....) and 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet on the first floor.
Finally, still at the rear, an old dwelling of approx. 100m2 is in need of complete renovation, providing another possibility for independent accommodation.
Now all we have to do is stroll through the park, walk around the lake and contemplate this idyllic setting with its majestic trees, a place of absolute peace!

If you're planning a major renovation project in a unique place with a soul, then look no further than this place!


Location: In the heart of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park, Anglès is an ancient fortified village on the route to Santiago de Compostela. The richness of its environment means you can enjoy a change of scenery, a wide range of outdoor activities or simply recharge your batteries in a calm, pleasant atmosphere.
Its privileged location at the crossroads between the Cévènes and the Mediterranean gives it a special, authentic character.
With the Raviège and Saint Peyres lakes just 5 km away, you can indulge in the pleasures of the water and enjoy the freshness so popular with holidaymakers.
You can also sample the flavours of the region (charcuterie, honey, cheeses) to everyone's delight!
Nearby, you'll find the town of Mazamet, 20 km away, with all its amenities and services.
You'll be welcomed by the Tarn department, where you'll discover and embrace its culture of good living, rooted in its Occitan roots. You'll also enjoy this department with its 1,000 faces and iconic museums, such as the Toulouse Lautrec Museum in Albi, the Goya Museum in Castres and Dom Robert in Sorèze.
Carcassonne and Béziers airports are around 90 minutes away by car, and Toulouse a little further at 1h30.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
