Description
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 high quality finishes and modern facilities. The original character shines through in the vaulted ceilings, large windows, plasterwork and gorgeous original floors.
You enter into the chateau's princely hall with fine mosaic floors and sweeping staircase from which the reception rooms fan out.
The ground floor boasts chateau-high ceilings, multiple living areas, kitchen facilities and an entry to the wine cellars below (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 for breakfast. To the left a sleek, heated infinity pool overlooks the gardens. This perfect marriage of the ultra-modern and classical architecture is a theme that continues throughout the property.
In the attic, you will marvel at the highly unusual wrought iron roofwork underpinning the classical French slate tiles, more commonly found in the Loire valley. There is even a functional clocktower.
The terrace overlooks 5 hectares of mature parkland with magnificent, ancient trees and ornamental lake supplied directly from the Canal du Midi.
The gardens are artfully landscaped with attractive walkways, unusual planting and a bar and entertaining area that can be easily dismantled when not in use.
Further to the main property is a fully renovated, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house with a lounge, kitchen, private garden, terrace and its own separate driveway.
Elsewhere is staff accommodation and 2 further properties to renovate (subject to any necessary permissions) as well as 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. This region is producing some of the most innovative wines in France.
