Description

A42194RAB34 - The château offers six beautifully presented en-suite bedrooms or suites, all enjoying stunning views, together with an independent apartment ideal for owner’s accommodation or rental. The property is set within landscaped gardens featuring a bespoke heated swimming pool, sun terraces, a covered dining terrace, garage, and an impressive reception and dining space.
The main residence is entered via a spectacular triple-height entrance hall with an elegant stone staircase. A few steps lead to the independent apartment, comprising a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, a fully fitted kitchen opening onto a south-facing terrace with panoramic views, and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room. This space is currently let as a gîte.
Two large cellars house laundry facilities and a workshop, while a magnificent stone-vaulted cellar with street access adds further character. The upper floors accommodate the six en-suite guest bedrooms, finished with understated elegance that highlights exposed stone walls, beams, and traditional tiled floors. One first-floor suite enjoys direct access to the garden and pool area. The Chateau is sold with some furniture.
From the garden, double French doors open into the converted barn, La Grange, an outstanding reception space with high beamed ceilings, travertine floors, pellet burner, contemporary kitchen with marble island, and WC—ideal for guest dining, events, or private entertaining. Additional stone-vaulted cellars lie beneath.
The extensive garage accommodates up to three vehicles and is topped with solar panels. The sale also includes private parking and just over four hectares of non-adjacent woodland.
Adjoining Renovated 3 bed Stone Village House
Also included in the sale is a fully independent stone village house, located immediately next door and recently renovated to an extremely high standard. This provides an exceptional opportunity to acquire a turnkey hospitality business alongside a private residence or additional rental property.

Ground floor: Bespoke kitchen and dining area opening onto a terrace with the same stunning views as the château, plus a practical boot room
First floor: Living room/library with wood-burning stove, bedroom, and WC
Second floor: Two bedrooms, dressing room, tiled bathroom, and WC
Top floor: Two mansard rooms and an attic
This house is entirely self-contained and offers complete privacy from the château, making it ideal as an owner’s home, guest overflow, or high-quality rental. The house is sold unfurnished.
Set within the Parc Naturel du Haut-Languedoc, the area is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, vineyards, lakes, and extensive walking and cycling trails. The nearby market town of Lodève offers a full range of amenities, cultural events, and a lively weekly market. The A75 motorway provides swift access to Montpellier, Béziers, and the Mediterranean coast, with international airports and rail connections within easy reach. Rich in history, local gastronomy, and year-round outdoor activities, the region is highly sought after for both permanent living and tourism.

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.
